No, it doesn't. It's the way those who think of themselves as Muslims think of what they call Islam. The issues of Islam holding Muslims back in terms of freedom, prosperity and progress just currently seem to be more problematic in that religion compared to others. I believe these things can and will change. For one thing, many, if not most Muslims will cease to believe/practice as strongly as they do now, and for another, I do believe that devout Muslims are able to modernize their interpretations.
