They made their choice, Min. They decided they wanted to be ignorant savages sticking their asses in the air and putting their foreheads on the ground praying to some invisible bearded dude in the sky. They did that for a thousand years while the rest of the world progressed. Their culture reaps the rewards their ignorance has sewn. It's not like they're innocent of it, either; they're just as ignorant, intolerant, and bigoted as their ancestors.
Those that want out of it, well, they can find a way to move to a country that isn't as violent and is progressing. Those that genuinely believe in all that shit, well...they can stay put, then.
Maybe if they'd continued being the paragons of science and learning, the arab world might've been where the rest of the world is, even sooner than the rest of the world, even. But they chose dogma and superstition and decided to keep going with that.
Sucks to be them. They're incapable of taking responsibility for themselves. Their religion means "submission." They don't know how to govern themselves, and that's their own damn fault. Maybe if they think about it really hard they might realize what the root of the problem is instead of simply just being envious of the rest of the world's success and prosperity and trying to mimic it for themselves. Maybe they'll throw off the shackles of their religion and think for themselves, the first step to being able to decide for oneself.
But I doubt it.
