Y'know, somehow I doubt most of the people who look at the Muslim world today, and try and place the blame on Islam would place the blame for how much most of Europe sucked during the Dark Ages on Christianity.
Not to say that the current varieties of religion in either case can't be part of the problem, but there's a lot more screwed up in the Middle East than religion. And there was a lot more screwed up in Dark Ages Europe besides the Catholic church.
