It still ignores my second part.

Had Islam experienced a revolution as significant as Christianity's reformation, we would have never seen today's issues exist. 

Heck, we may have been in a better situation had the Golden Ages of Islam been left in tack. The Mongolian invasion changed the course of history as we know it. 

If the Middle East stayed as a place of knowledge and enlightment, then we could have easily been much more advanced as well.

If you mean by 'revolution' the fact that religion got less important, and that society in general got better, then I agree.

If you're referring to the protestant revolution, then I must disagree. The only violence that the church had comitted in the late middle ages were the inquisition and witch burnings - but protestants started doing both of these as well.

The reformation prioritized improvement in society as you said. I think pushing for changes in the middle east is impossible as this point, meaning we'll be stuck with this for quite some time. Only hope is to accept the Muslims in western nations and hope the younger generation continues the trend of being less conservative/traditional
