Here it is, in a nutshell:

China, Latin America, most of Asia, India, and much of Africa seek reforms and hard work to join in on Western-induced globalization. But the reactionary Arab World wants it three ways:
  1. not to give up tribalism, autocracy, controlled economies, gender apartheid, religious intolerance, or polygamy;

  2. still enjoy modern material benefits it cannot produce and cannot pay for, whether computers, advanced medical care, or jumbo jets; and

  3. blame the West for whetting its appetite and putting it in such an embarrassing dilemma.

And he is absolutely correct in continuing: "And their writ against us depends entirely on Western complacency and appeasement. Yet, their lament is a castle of sand: as soon as the West says, “Quit whining, change, and reform yourself or simply don’t emigrate, stay inside your own borders, and live in peace and isolation in the 8th century,” a real dialogue opens up."

The Western complacency and appeasement is one of the causes of the problems we face now. They were preprogrammed 30 years ago when Europe refused to confront terrorists and hijackers and by all our half-assed responses since. The West allowed them to get away with murder, literally.
