It's terrible now of course but for hundreds of years the Middle East was the most liberal, open minded, academic, culturally advanced region in the world, back when Europe was the oppressive regime with no academic progress. Where as I'm not aware of any point in Asian history, or present, when it wasn't a super conformist society. The Middle East and Europe going through changes from oppression to freedom shows a potential for change, but as far as I see it Asian society has never changed from its core values of conformity and materialism, that's why I'm so stunned.
