Here's the problem with islam, the way I see it - it has actual totalitarian control over large populations, which differentiates it from most other religions. And religious zealots in charge of theocracies - as much, as we may perceive them as savages - have learned some history.
They know what happened to christianity, when western churches gave up most of their political powers and allowed for secularization of western society. They will do anything to hold on to power and from their perspective, that means not allowing for any kind of reformation.
Moderate muslims don't seem to have much say in their own countries and I doubt that will change any time soon, or perhaps ever, since executing political opponents in a totalitarian theocracy is easier than taking a sh*t.
