There was a LOT of bad things about traditional German and Japanese culture. The reason it is not relevant today is that the Americans forced them to change after 1945.

Cultures can also change under the pressure of internal forces. Hopefully this will happen to the Muslim world. I suppose anybody who takes humanistic and democratic values seriously would find it hard to respect Mohammed. Do modern Germans respect the Teutonic Knights?

How many Imperialist Japanese and Nazi Germans were alive after 1945?
