Excellent point. You don't see an awful lot of introspection, do you? I would wonder, though, if this was something that might have happened during Islam's golden age, before the 13th century. "Muslim" society was much more moderate and secular then, but it went through a change that is eerily similar to what it seems a good portion of American Christians would like to see Christianity go through - a shift towards greater subjugation of women, absolute control over adherents' sexuality, and emphasis on tradition over innovation. Makes me wonder who, exactly, is behind this curve?
