Whenever someone criticizes any civilization look in to every other civilization

Whenever someone criticizes any civilization look in to every other civilization’s equal crimes. Why is it that europeans speak truth before face, and no other people on earth does, and why is it that europeans invented rule of law, participatory government, (the republic), geometry, reason, empiricism, science, and why is it europeans maintained trifunctionalism: competing legal, martial, and religious elites, and never fell into the monopoly of stat(china) or religion (middle east) or the odd combination of religion and caste (India)?
There are no horrors in Europe the equivalent of those in china, the middle east in particular. The question is why? Why would confessing be so important to europeans that they would use the torture devices they did while others just executed with abandon?
