So he viewed "America" as what Muslims call "Shaytan." For Muslims Shaytan is not the devil either. Instead, he is "the Great Deceiver," whose promises mislead, corrupt and immiserate those who believe them.

In fact, while promising peace, prosperity, and happiness, the West's elevation of commercial values to a position of supremacy in the moral hierarchy could not be (in Muslim eyes) more deceptive and disastrous. Without care for society's poor and vulnerable, commercial values lead to individualism, competition, war and unhappiness.

None of those represent God's purposes for human beings.
