Nothing to see here, move along

[Hax]

I am not saying that to diminish the stupidity of Muslims in the western world, my point is more that I want them out of the western world, and the ones we keep should be properly schooled and raised.

Bin Laden was an engineer and Sayyid Qotb worked as a teacher. Hassan al-Banna was a doctor.

These are not backwards peasants and witch doctors, these are people with a high level of education who have often lived and worked in the West as well. It has very little to do with their actual religion, but it's much more an answer to (perceived) imperialism. That's why Arab socialism and pan-Arabism was so popular in the 50's and 60's, and when that didn't work, people were drawn to another "safe haven": Islamic fundamentalism.
