primitive savages into civilized society as a wonderful diverse utopian society where every culture is treated as if they are equal. This act of savagery

Good Muslims, doing their duty as commanded by the Holy Quran are not necessarily primitive or savages, or even terrorists.

They can be highly educated and otherwise civilized.

It's nothing personal. Their duty is to convert us or kill us.

Actually, Islam (or at least an orthodox Asharite version which prevailed) is incompatible with being civilized. Orthodox Islam asserts that Allah is the direct cause of everything that happens. In Islam there is no room for the laws of nature that can be discovered by human reason becaue such laws would diminish Allah’s greatness. Any scientist automatically commits blasphemy. There are two lectures about this topic by Robert Reilly: this one, and this one. He also wrote a book.
