I agree. I wonder though, why this is happening. Does it have to do with the economical situation in most Islamic countries, are the reasons rather political (reaction of the Muslim community to the absolute world dominance of the "christian" West), is there a fear among Moslems of loosing their moral and religious values, or maybe a fear of the "modern" world (especially since the modern world is also mainly an invention of the West)?
I'm giving the question to the whole group
