i think it's not so much the western world vs. islam,
as advanced society pushing a global seperation of church and state.
as for islamic extremists, it's very hard for those in power to relinquish that power.
western civilization had a hard time getting rid of it, for 1000+ years the head of any king was ruled by the pope.
despite the very first seperation of church and state argument put forth by the very person they worshipped as the messiah when jesus said "that which is caesar's give unto caesar, that which is god's give unto god."
