Takfirism
Since colonialism, the Muslim world has seen the erasure of widespread knowledge of fiqh of siyasa, hakimiyyah/sultaniyya (ie Islamic political philosophy). This ignorance allows ISIS to confuse ppl with its false claims and liberals/secular nationalists to avoid instant takfir
Muslims argue and bicker over Muslim history and over current events, unable to react except with extreme uncritical support to secular dictators who make the slightest of Islamic seeming gestures, or extreme cynicism to Islamically inclined regimes who make the slightest mistake
Well meaning peaceful Islamic groups are generalised and condemned as threats to the Ummah for the slightest error, and any slander against them believed, why the oppression of tyrannical murderous regimes, forgiven as mistakes, and the truth exposed about them is disbelieved.
The inability to understand complex geopolitics and ideology, has meant Muslims either clutch at esoteric conspiracy theories claiming to explain everything to them, or at shallow explanations of politics akin to a family drama.
True political analysis is rejected as "fantasy"

I wish all Muslims read the classical scholars discussions of Islamic political philosophy, studied the madinah model as the gold standard of state creation and ruling (by Islamic law) and the method used by the Prophet Muhammed SAAW to establish the Islamic State of Madinah.
