Too much decadence isn't good either. Westerners are too hedonist, but the East (Islam, East Asia etc) are too ascetic.
Y no middle ground anywhere?
I can explain you how let use America
America is bad place for young muslims because they are taught hedonist behaviour and don't fear consequences.
There is not such thing as a person who is no bad or Good has to be either. Progressive muslims go against the last revelation, like for example God allowed a man to have 4 wives, because it makes sense if you have 4 husbands and on wife all your kids will have different surnames and when reiceve inheritance it going to be harder also different Dads, if you have four wives one husband
All your kids will have same lineage and surname as you and it will make inheritance easier.
Progressive muslims go opposite a women dating 2 men at once, may allah protect us all from haram. That is hedonist behaviour.
Acestic behavioufr they fully follow what God says and what the prophet says.
Well the owner of the middle eastern countreis are not proper muslims, they do haram too like Riba and more.
That is hendoist behaviour.
Mr pschycologist acestic behaviour is based on the people, like people who are aware of the day were people are going to be asked in front of their lord begging for his mercy as salvation.
It is either you care about your religion and the day you are asked or just don't care and go to hellfire.
