The Daily Mail - Defenders of Youth Culture

I don't know, I go away for a few days and, all of a sudden, the Daily Mail becomes the defender of youth culture. My jaw nearly dropped to the floor when I read this paragraph in yesterday's Mail:

To the fundamentalist, the clubs with their sale of alcohol, often scantily dressed young women, loud music and decadent behaviour epitomise everything they abhor about the West.

Are they taking the piss?
