To a worse degree? No. Though I do think PCness is retarded (er, mentally challenged).

I think we should give the Palestinians their land back (and cut off Israel completely, I've heard we give them millions in aid a DAY) but I doubt that would change how backwards much of the Islamic world is.
I can understand why they are so reactionary against the mecca of consumerism and arrogance that is America but that's still no reason for them to be as backward as they are. Look at the the treatment many of their women receive everyday. I suppose it doesn't help that their prophet (Mohammad) was a murdering pedophile.
