I don't think its oversimplification at all, a significant number of people who follow the faith have ideas that are to liberals quite disturbing and certainly do not conform to western ideals.

This video is from Norway, they are not extremists in this video nor is the audience, but do watch it to get the point Harris makes that a lot of "moderates" in Islam hold deeply troubling ideas.

Certainly agree the west has helped make things worse and many of these nations are impoverished, suffering through long periods of war, loss of hope, etc.. But there is a longer term thing going on here which Bernard Lewis covers nicely about the decline of the old Islamic empire.

Bernard Lewis on what went wrong covers all this in this video>
