No....(yes I voted Islam)....but this was the actual question:
"Where does the preponderence of responsibility lie?"
I do feel the underlying issue is the failure of Islamic States to evolve with world society, and thus gain the benefits (as well as the downsides) of entering a world culture. There is a certain inevitability to the way western thought and prosperity are spreading across the globe, Albeit over century timeframes, not decades. It just seems that in some ways, Islam hinders the ability to grasp technology and the realities of our likely future as a species, thus my stance that there needs to be a change in path.
