Removing Map 

The map displayed in this article cannot be defended easily.  First, it appears to be original research and second, the Western World is not something that can be defined by national boundaries as they are drawn today.  Look at the questions that are raised:  Is Istanbul a Western city?  Have fun answering that.  Are South African Zulus more Western than the Berbers of Morocco or even the peoples of Ethiopa? Good luck on that one too.  The map be removed.  In its place, I suggest a description of Western Civilization's founding cultures should be added: Mesopotamia, Greece, Rome, and the Teuton.
