Well put G, so far though it seems like we haven't done much to eliminate those ideals. Religion isn't the problem, its the weapon being used by the few to spread their twisted ideas to the many. People flock to them out of desperation and lack of education. If we put the hundreds of billions we've put into blowing shit up in Iraq into actually helping to provide for a better quality of life for these people, we'd be seeing much better results...instead of...the negative ones we're seeing now. Ultimately though its not that easy, theres the massively corrupt middle eastern governments to deal with that also inhibit change and modernization, how we deal with them is another story that I honestly have no ideas/answers for.
