Dude I've lived in those countries as a Christian and they are nothing like what you've been brainwashed to think. Their infrastructure is newer, better, more developed and they spend their money on their countries and not waging wars on other countries. The governments totally suck and that is as a result of what the west creates and supports. Any uprising is shunned and suppressed. As is the most recent case for example in Egypt. Furthermore the fact that the US BOMBS these countries sets them back but they keep rebuilding, while the west spends money on more wars and ignores its failing infrastructure and old pile of crap roads and buildings.
Life is not crap in the rest of the world as you are made out to believe. Everything in the west from the day we are in school is thought about how we are 'first world countries' and the rest of the countries are 'third world countries'. Really, it's a plot to keep people ignorant and believing that we are the best in the world, we are not. I've travelled in between North America, Europe, Africa and the Middle-east. I haven't been to Australia, South America or East Asia however.
I am not in the US, nor want to live in the US. I am not born an Arab or born in Arab countries, I'm of European descent and a westerner but a Muslim. That being said I would enjoy living in Muslim countries but my family is here and I have a job.
That being said is life here great and that's the reason I'm here? Not at all, in comparison to the west, in Muslim countries (you shouldn't call them 'islamic countries' as they are secular dictatorship or kingdoms), life is more peaceful over there. Here we live day to day rush hour, bills, 40 hour+ work weeks, work, eat, sleep, work, eat, sleep and from all the 'anti-depressants' north Americans are on, to getting smashed on weekends at bars and clubs, life in the west is crap.
One thing you would notice in terms of difference to north america in arab muslim countries is life. People are more relaxed, more at peace with themselves, more humble, more family oriented, more community oriented, there is life on the street, people know each other, people are not closed off 'independent', children are free to play on the streets and parents dont have to worry as much about their kids getting involved with gangs, criminals and thugs. Your property being stolen is less likely, strangers you don't know will greet you with smiles while here someone will start cussing at you and looking at you strange.
It's just different, the west may appear 'rich' in material things, but in reality all here are poor. Credit, debt, even the US government itself its 17 trillion dollars in debt. That's the real reality.
Being Muslim is not being Arab. American and western Muslims are on the rise whether you like it or not, too bad and we're here to stay in our own countries. The same pile of crap could be said to the likes of Englishmen or Spaniards or Frenchmen or Dutchmen to go back to where they came from as they invaded native lands and enforced Christianity on them by the sword..
