Sadly, there are those committed by theology , ideology and just plain human nature to the utter destruction of things "Western".
This is primarily because the basic philosophical underpinnings of Western thought, namely Judeo-Christian theology, promote the concepts of self-determination, independence and one-on-one personal responsibility to God. This is in direct contrast to the requirement of the "true" Faithful of Islam to work and war for the complete and total subjugation of the physical world to Allah; jihad with the heart, the word, and as necessary with the sword. Unbelievers are to be converted, subjugated and taxed, or destroyed.
The modern Islamic Fascists are today merely actually and vigorously acting upon achieving that goal - subjugation of the world to Allah. The fact that many Islamic belivers do not support them does not change the fact that the Fascists are operating, and their less militant brethren are, for the most part silent. Silent from fear? Silent from indecision? Who can say? Does it matter, in the end? I do not think so. The bulk of the German populace was not a member of the National Socialist Party, but the Nazis did control the operation, and we still speak about, and warred against "Nazi" Germany. So it is now with Islamic Fascism.
Followers of other strains of Islam are silent, or at best make muted comments as their co-religionists, in the name of their common god Allah, and their common scripture Quran, make war on women, children and the innocent and non-combatant.
A man stands outside of my house with a gun, a bucket of gasoline and a lighter, loudly declaring his intent to kill me and burn my house down. What liklihood of success will meet my passionate assurances to him of my goodwill? What can I expect to result from my giving him continued entreaties of peace and brotherhood? His stated aim is to leave my children homeless, destitute and orphan. How long can I, in good conscience, temporize? I cannot wait very long. At some rapidly arrived at point, I must take him seriously, and act, vigorously and violently, or it is too late. Failure to act is a gross expression of cowardice as well - placing my children at risk because I will not commit to a necessary course of action, and depending on words to accomplish what must be done with steel.
As sad as it is, some evil people will only be stopped by death.
This is not about education or money. Many of the Islamic Fascists are university educated, have professional degrees and come from well-off back grounds. This is literally about world domination. They will stone your sister or daughter to death for "immodesty" too.
I close with a line that no doubt many have heard, but it is appropriate here:
"...Underneath the starry flag, civilize 'em with a Krag,
And return us to our own beloved homes. "
