Maybe these guys need some Mountain Dew, Doritos, Gang Bang Porn and Sliptknot.
The problem is that religion creates an immense feeling of guilt in indugling in these things. That's part of the MI6 report. Giving them worldly pleasures only doubles their fundamentalism because it's a cycle of sinning and repentance (by being even more fundamental).

The Soviet Union was completely different. That was an atheist culture where people aspired to have nicer things but couldn't because of the economy. It wasn't against their religion to have blue jeans or look at nudies so it was easy to sway the younger generation.
