The Islamic world has not undergone anything like the Enlightenment which changed Western Civilisation profoundly. People in Europe during enlightenment challenged the primacy of dogma with reason and rational thought as opposed to dogma.
Hence today's Christians in the west unlike their medieval and early modern counterparts don't advocate burning heretics, banning books by scientists whose discoveries challenged dogmas and those suspected of being witches like they used to. Indeed much the same nasty stuff being committed by the Taliban and Saudi religious authorities were committed by both Catholics and Protestants in Europe 400 or 500 years ago.
If you are not already familiar with European history, please read at least the period from say 1500 to 1700, you would find that enlightening.
