Let us remember history, they did reject fundamentalism. The US in cahoots with various other nations systematically dismantled many progressive middle-eastern governments over the past 80 years or so but supporting terrorism and despots. We supported the Taliban and look what it did to Afghanistan. We supported Saddam back in the day as well and turned a blind eye to his atrocities. We still support the Saudis.

When you are afraid and focused on living day to day you can't see the bigger picture It's hard to find solutions to problems that you don't understand especially when assholes are constantly arming homicidal extremist and bombing your country back to the stone age on a regular basis.
