Its why we have to stop forgiving all these wrong doings in the name of Islam, because these people are using it to hide behind.
So many writers like Hitchens, Harris and of course people like Rushdie are deeply worried about such backwards theocracy's becoming nuclear powers or of course Pakistan being taken over by extremists.
I've little doubt the next 100 years will only see more troubling times, our only hope is that secularism in Arab lands begins to happen as it has in places like Turkey. Mind you Turkey has lots of problems, but at least there's some modern ideals at work there.
Sadly even in North America there are so many apologetics for Islam and the Arab countries, so we don't just have to work to deal with the Arab countries but the apologetics here.
