Hi,
The Greeks gave them a lot of lip service, observed them somewhat.
The 'West' gives them a lot of lip service. Observes them somewhat more in some places and somewhat less in others than did the Greeks. They are part of our culture in principle if not in practice.
Islam neither gives them lip service as ideals nor embraces them in practice.
