My only hope is Islam will eventually adapt more towards Western values and slowly become more civilized. That is happening to some extent.
Example:

Islamic terrorists attack on the west has little to
do with their backwardness. By western standard
the Islamic societies are backward by easily more than
two centuries. And yet the most devastating wars from
the last two centuries were almost all waged between
the more civilized non-Muslim nations. They could still
hate us and wage more destructive wars if they become
more civilized.
The disparity in living standard and political stability
between the developed word and the less developed
parts of the world most of which Islam may play a role
in the spread of terrorism. That should not distract us
from the true causes of it. Root causes of Islamic
terrorism can be traced to foreign policies of the
western world like the 1953 Iranian coup, support
of corrupted regimes such as the Saudi royalties
and Saddam Hussein, kissing Israeli ass, support
of Osama Bin Laden In the Afghanistan war,
sanctions against and later invasion of Iraq.
Hoping Islam societies to become as advanced as
us is no solution to the threat of terrorism. It
is outrageous that pornography and drugs
are illegal and women do not have the
freedom to wear bikini in the world of Muslims.
But who are we to judge their values?
