No decent anthropologist would even use the word "civilization". And no decent anthropologist would use the word "European culture". There is no one European culture. There is Hungarian culture, Polish culture, French culture - and within those you have countless distinctive regional differences. No decent anthropologist would call Islam savagery. A decent anthropologist knows history of religion and history of Islam well enough to understand the subtle nuances. He knows that there are countless peaceful Muslims living around the globe. He understands the diversity of theological schools within Islam. He understands the diversity within the Middle East. So I'm sorry, dear "American majoring in anthropology", but you simply suck at what you do.
