Self-interest dictates that it is not a wise move to return to 11th century standards of living instead of remaining in the 21st. Much has been made in the MSM of the self-loathing jew stereotype (example: NY liberals who support the PLO in its quest to destroy Israel). I'd contend that TROP adherents actually have this issue to resolve. They want all the benefits of the modern world but hate the West for doing what they could not in their Third World cesspools.

I have talked to a Muslim coworker about this. He says that many would like nothing better than to assimilate & forget Islam altogether. That was possible 20 years ago. But now that there is a critical mass of mosques and fellow fundamentalists here, they are intimidated and threatened into supporting the Imams.
The irony is that they come here to get away from those cesspools, but ultimately end up trying to recreate them 'cause its whats familiar. In fairness, all immigrants try to do this to some degree. The difference is that past immigrants wanted to build up their new society, while many TROPers want to tear it down.
