Non-Western civilizations have been put in a really tough spot trying to exist in a world shaped and dictated by a foreign culture.
It's hard to imagine how the Islamic world would look if not for western style governments, European colonization and American influence. Probably a lot less technologically advanced but also far more stable. It's really a mixed bag. I wouldn't blame Islam honestly.
It was much more stable before the British Empire and WW1. They lie to us that this is the way the Islamic world has always been when really most of the issues started about a century ago.
