Maybe your comprehension skills are not as developed as you think they are and maybe you need to get over yourself.

It's less to do with Islam and more to do with Dictators using it to enforce their reign. The same thing could happen to any religion, you could get a Jewish, Christian, Hindu ETC group that gains some power and enforces it through the darkest parts of their religious text. You could take religion out of the Middle east and the same problems would still exist because it's less about religion and more about power and the means those who have it use to keep it.
