Hmm...I don't know if there is a correlation. I believe it to be more corruption and manipulation by bad leadership. Perhaps a corruption of Islam for nefarious purposes is more the point. I don't feel like the leaders of many of those countries represent Islam anymore than I feel George Bush represents Christianity. I think the Taleban are about as unIslamic as you can get with their hypocrisy. Allowing the opium crops, etc. I can't remember but didn't they ban music and dancing but were caught listening to Britney Spears?
I also think Islam is used as a political tool further twisting the religion and blurring the lines. So in my view, it's not Islam that is to blame but rather the people who corrupt it, much like any religion.
Sharia law might be a good debate for another thread so it can be more focused.
