dax, the answer to the situation you describe is not to continue to behave toward Muslim countries as the governments of Western countries have been doing for decades. That approach accomplishes the opposite of what most people in the West say they think ought to happen. When people are constantly put in a position of insecurity and instability, as the people in the oil producing parts of the developing world have been, they become more backward and reactionary, not less.

Allowing the Muslim countries to determine their own fate and to work out their problems themselves, without the meddling of Western powers, is the only way that the natural inclination of societies to evolve and grow will be realized in those countries.
