I think there is a fundamental problem with Islam itself, personally. It is, unlike other major religions fundamentally political in nature. Shar'ia is a goal that most probably aspire to. IMHO, the extant religion is incompatible with Western progressive democracy.
The trouble is that even were some true moderate sect to emerge, it's merely the ability to read Arabic away from fundamentalism because the very worst bits are right there in black and white.
