Not sure if this is true about Judeo-Christian ethics . We had a lot of extremely serious problems with our own democracy like slavery, the treatment of the Indians, monopolies by many different business, lack of voting for women, racial discrimination of all kinds against blacks, native americans, Irish, German, Chinese, Catholics, etc. Most of these wrongs were done while the Judeo-Christian ethics were in place.
Islam does have a very strong ethical current of its own which is based on the Judeo-Christian religion to a very strong extent. Of course, the same kinds of problems with slavery, discrimination, genocide show up in their countries' histories as with those of the Western heritage countries.
