Many misunderstand what it means to be conservative. It does not imply opposition to social transformations, but rather a preference for a slower pace that allows for careful evaluation of potential mistakes.

What I really wanted to say was imagine if a Hellenic Greece where Hellenism never died rebuilt the Parthenon after taking it from the Ottomans and reconsecrated it for the worship of Athena. However, Christianity vs Islam is the only context Europeans understand.
