Let's hear your theory, but only if you can accept the risks of doing so.
Muslims in general had seen their Pinnacle of Power somewhere in medieval times for e.g. Ottoman,Mughals,Arabs etc.From 11th to 16th century ,they were global powers if not superpower and west were in dark ages.However after enlightenment and industrial revolution,West has dominated the world since then.
Now Muslims as a society are in confused state and every one has his theory of what went wrong.Some says we have to follow modernism like Christian did and some are saying we have strictly follow religious books to acheive lost glory. ISIS and Talibans are the highest manifestation of latter thinking.ISIS is just a medieval Muslim group transported into 21st century.
Muslims need to see why they were global power in more rational way. In 10th century, Kuran has some radical ideas for its time e.g. Equality for all,monotheism,widow remarriage etc. In addition to philosophical base , Arabs had assimilated all the knowledge which was existed in that time of world.There was nothing called western knowledge.Knowledge was just knowledge.Islam became religion of masses and of oppressed.
Similar thing was done by West from 16th centuary.They created new radical philosophies like Darwinism,free will and protestantism(enlightenment) and acquired knowledge by themselves or otherwise.These ideas were more radical than what was enshrined in Kuran.
Communism was even more radical than western Capitalism, that is why it has challenged later for a half a century but has its flaws.
Thanks.
