What history are you referring to? It was unfucked up for over 600 years. All the way until WWI when the Ottoman Empire collapsed. Matter of fact, most Arab countries were "modern" up until the late 1960's and 70's. Iran got fucked up in 1979 when Ayatollah Khomeini overthrew the Shah, becoming the "Supreme Leader". Most of that area was developing well until Muslims took power and established Shariah Law.
