To begin with drawing conclusions on that part of world based on "countries" rather than ethnic and/or religious groups is ignorant.

Then "classifying" these people as retarded or barbaric in terms of civilization when you're coming from the country of Guantanamo, who's army ran the prison of Abu Ghraib, of the great wall to be built on the border with Mexico, who threw the first and last two nuclear bombs in history on civilians,... is arrogant.
