I agree that western societies are the most progressive in the world. But that has come after centuries of socio-political evolution. Let's not forget, the maximum amount of genocide has also been by western societies. Germany became a progressive society after slaughtering millions. The UK became a progressive society after starving, slaughtering and robbing millions.

Islamic societies will evolve in their own pace. I have lived in 4 Muslim countries, and they are all different. The largest population of Muslims is in South and South East Asia, not the Middle East. There is a much stronger sense of culture and nationhood in South and South East Asia, as compared to the Middle East, where countries were artificially created by the UK and France.

Finally, let's not forget that civilization began in the Middle East - in Iraq and Egypt. They are civilized for thousands of years while the rest of the world was populated by barbarians.
