I don't think that you're going to be able to understand the problem of political islam until you can genuinely understand and allow for it being..well..islam. Not your islam, perhaps, but islam all the same. The real question, is why the worlds major monotheistic religions have turned out to be such raging dumpster fires, even when apprehended by the (admittedly secularized and contemporary) believers themselves, such as you.
Is it a coincidence? Or...Is it like gravity, it just happens that way in all places at all times? Or... is it volitional and intentional, such that the bullshit isn't a bug, but a feature, included for effect? I think, especially with political beliefs, it's a bit of 1 2 and 3, personally. Coincidence determines what general belief set any given actor feels the need to draw from in order to assert their political beliefs. Dominionists (and theocratic belief systems) anywhere would still be dominionists (and theocratic belief systems) anywhere else- all that changes is the local flavor to better exploit the sensibilities of it's demo for effect.
