The thing to remember about Islam is that unlike the other religions, it never underwent anything close to a reformation or a modernizing process.
What this means is that Islam is more than a religion - it is a social and political ideology, a total way of viewing the world, fused with law. Islam does not make a distinction between itself and the state. Contrast this with majority Christian countries, where the people may be Christian, but often see their nations as separate.
Other than their oil wealth, most Muslims never entered the modern world during the past centuries.
This is why Islam is such a threat. Even if you believe the modern world is decadent, as I do, it is no reason to abandon everything to Islam.
