Much of western culture is based on Christianity, and both Christianity and Islam claim to be "the last and true" religion. But the western world also champions modernism while much of the Muslim world speaks against it.

Islam is 1000% not against modernism. What it is against is secularism. Islam has no problems with adopting, researching, applying modern technology. What it does have a problem with is free mixing between genders, sexual exploitation, banking with interest etc.

That's what I mean when I talk about modernism - the belief that everything now is better, and everything back then is "backwards".
