Some would argue that the Islam of Osama Bin Laden, Mullah Omar, and other so-called "Islamists" is a return to pure Islam, and the current form of Islam as practiced by the house of Saud and Musharref and the other so-called Muslim leaders is corrupted.
As an atheist, I do not single out Islam. All religions have their problems.
Perhaps the real problem is demographic, and Islam just happens to have a more poor uneducated young males than other religions.
I guess what I don't appreciate about Muslims, and religious people in general, is their total lack of doubt or uncertainty. It can come across as arrogance, and in the worst case can lead to religious strife such as can be found in Israel, Northern Ireland, Bosnia-Herzegovenia, Nigeria, Indonesia etc. I suppose this is the fault of the humans and not the religion, but it is difficult to separate the two.
