There are plenty of extremely poor, extremely religious countries in the world that don't execute gay people, blasphemers or apostates, and some of them are Muslim. I don't believe that poverty and religion automatically and inevitably lead to religious extremism. Your points about Saudi Arabia, Iran and Iraq are completely valid but there are more than three Muslim countries in the world, if people in those countries want to take revenge on the west or support those that do i'm sympathetic towards that - this doesn't explain all the other Muslim countries that execute gays, apostates and blasphemers, unless they're just doing it to piss us off
“The larger the group, the more toxic, the more of your beauty as an individual you have to surrender for the sake of group thought. And when you suspend your individual beauty you also give up a lot of your humanity. You will do things in the name of a group that you would never do on your own. Injuring, hurting, killing, drinking are all part of it, because you've lost your identity, because you now owe your allegiance to this thing that's bigger than you are and that controls you.” - George Carlin
