I would have entitled this "HOW MIDDLE EASTERN PHILOSOPHY ie the non-Trinitarian Abrahamic faiths, CAN HELP SAVE THE WEST". 

Religion is intended to be wisdom, and modern Western philosophy lacks wisdom. However, this is what Western Man is left with until and unless he connects with the non-Trinitarian Abrahamic faiths ie the wisdom of Judaism and the integrated moral and legal political system that is Islam.  

Are Judaism and Islam wise?

They are believed by their adherents to contain the wisdom of God.  

The evidence of this is that Judaism and Islam have clear principles which give Jews and Muslims dignity and the protective wrapper of religion allowing them to remain in existence, which is better than not remaining in existence and becoming extinct eg the Ancient Greeks, the Ancient Romans, the Vikings, the Normans, and soon liberals and even intersectional feminists. 

But for Judaism, Jews would not remain in existence. 

But for Islam, Muslims would not retain their identity which makes Westerners fear and hate them to an irrational degree.

What principles does Christianity promote? Only that of worshiping a crucified Jew as the co-equal of the supreme and eternal Abrahamic God he was alleged to have blasphemed against according to the Christian narrative. This means that Christians have been guilty of 2000 years of idolatry and blasphemy for which they may now regard themselves as being cursed by God, if they can bring themselves to entertain the idea of His existence. 

The West is as Christian as a human skeleton used to be human, and the Westerner is filled with self-loathing for himself after the realisation that the religious experience of his ancestors was that of forcible conversion to Christianity by their monarchs who forced to remain Christian or else be burned at the stake, until their governments lost the will to continue this practice having lost their belief in the Trinity. The Founding Fathers of the America Republic were the ones who first lost the will to impose this absurdity on their fellow Americans. The Trojan horse of Islam already entered the American Republic when the First Amendment - based on quran.com/2/256 - was passed in 1791.
