Yes we went through the Age of Enlightenment in the West. Science and reason became the prevailing way to truth, humanism and democracy and liberty became the law of the land.
Christianity was reconciled with this. It was quite easy, when you consider Jesus's New Testament message of tolerance, love, and forgiveness. Because of widespread modern interpetation of Jesus (or reform Judaism in the case of Jews), it's quite possible to live in our scientific, humanistic world and still be a Christian or Jew.
This is not possible in conservative Islam. The text is clear, and it all deals with the barbarian desert religious tribalism that was applicable at the time. There's no New Testament to wipe the slate clean, and the clarity of Muhammad's message (as opposed to the ambiguity of the Bible or Torah) makes modern reform unacceptable to many.

Long story short - Islam in its strict interpretation, is inherently violent, fascist, and oppressive in ways that other religions including Christianity are not.
And we need to recognize that - we need to make the modern Muslim leaders admit that - and stop worrying about it being perceived as bigotry
