Who needs capitalism, the greatest engine of human progress in history, when you have faith, which the head-chopping terrorists don't seem to have a shortage of? Your thesis is absurd on its face, mozaffar.
As "Miss" Rand might've pointed out -- had she not been so disastrously closeted about her own Jewishness -- whether you blame the Jews or blame the capitalists, the underlying pathology is: ~E~N~V~Y~.
Dear Franco CBI and solus rex: Thanks for your comments. Not quite sure what you're saying.
Very respectfully,

Uh...you must lead a very sheltered life. You need to get out more.
Dear Aridog: Thanks for your comment. Suffice it to say that you'd be surprised that we are indeed talking about many people.
Indeed? What? The 80,000 who live around me in my neighborhood came here as missionaries? Most I know were fleeing something...what do you suppose that was? Not to mention that most of them are pretty good capitalists themselves. Virtually all of them seem to like their ultimate capitalist product, the automobile, the women in particular. And guess what, not a burqua in sight anywhere. Some keep Hajib, multicolored at that, but skip the veil 99.9% of the time.

Mozaffar, that is a photo (altered) of Ayn Rand. I am not going to explain the joke, but before you rush to fix the problems of America (ostensibly, because Islam is so gloroiusly free of them), perhaps you should familiarize yourself with one of its prominent philosophers.
But, I do know that many people are hoping that the Muslims will fix the problems of America
Nobody I know thinks that "the Muslims" have any greater insight regarding solutions to America's problems than anyone else.
Many people I know look at the problems of the Muslim world, and think that they've got a lot of work to do there fixing their own problems before they should even start to think about fixing anybody else's.

He's joking, right?
Hmmm. I'd sure like to know who these many people are, if not the Muslims themselves assigning themselves a mission.
She was both.
Dear Maine's Michael: Thanks for your comment. No I'm not joking.

Anyway, good luck telling people they want to have beards and thobes, not cars and jeans. You'll need it!

Erykah Badu has a great lyric:
My eyes are green/'Cause I eats a lot of vegetables/It don't have nothing/To do/With your new friend!
LOL!! I was just listening to that!
LOL!!
