Other cultures, including Muslim ones have incorporated death and grief into our practices. We have set ways of dealing with death and supporting the bereaved more communally

If I could give one example, look at how we deal with bodies. Muslims clean, prepare and handle their loved ones’ bodies, westerners generally outsource that.

And of course this is not just the west vs Islam, it’s the west vs everyone else. No culture is as lacking in the acceptance of death as a universal reality as western culture. If you can even call it a culture.
