Sometimes I look back at our histhory and wonder how men could turn even a peacful religion like Christianity into the blind, fanatical cult it was till the end of the 18th century. And then I realize it was all lust for power.

Same case here, different religion. Excpet that most of those who practice Islam still live in a intellectual "middle age", so no wonder their mindset is so different from ours and can be exploited by clever individuals.

Unfortunately, there's little that can be done. Big social changes must happens from within. Everything we will do, good or bad, will only radicalize their beliefs. Until theb, it's better not to let Islam spread to those countries which already broke free of religion because it will only damage our tenue social tissue based on human rights and respect for everyone. We're facing a culture that is not playing by our own rules.
