so its the Minority of people in Iran, Iraq or countless other Muslim nations? So then given the oppotunity to change that, why dont the majority vote people in who are...oh...less hardline? Is it because the hardline wont let them vote? I call BS on your theory.

Faulty analysis.
Fundamentalist groups in many democracies hold a disproportionate amount of power based on electoral systems and constitutional powers. You seem to indicate that it would be relatively easy for the majority to assert their will over the minority but this is laughably simplistic.
Take Israel for example. It has been under the rule of the hard lined fundamentalist Likud party because it has the ardent support of only about 20% of the fundamentalist Jews whereas the majority of Israelis are moderate. Are these moderates stupid? No, it's a very complicated problem that you pejoratively dissolve to something simple and assinine to support your argument.
