If this is the case why is Saudi Arabia the way it is? They have plenty of money, a good standard of living by anyone's standards, but they are governed by, if not a country of, what we think of Muslim extremists.
Part of the problem, and I don't know what the solution is, is the attitude you show in your post. You seem to think the American way is the best way. You have massive social inequality, and you have your own religious fundamentalists in Christian groups. Also your society has a history of shooting people for no reason. Remember the shooting in the cinema because someone was throwing pop corn, not that different from being offended at a cartoon.
