In many regards, she is correct. But I must say that such a backward philosophy much like that which is held by Muslim extremists isn't exclusive the Islam only; and Islam certainly isn't exclusive to militant dogmatism as the lady in the video is rather indirectly implying.

When the Bush administration proclaims the universal superiority of western-style democracy (and western capitalism) and imposes such a dogmatism militantly, we are committing the same err that militant Muslims are committing. When the west does not respect the self-determination and independence of other nations, we are committing the same err. It's just that one side has all the ships, planes, and nukes while the other is left with the tactics of the poor (guerrilla warfare and terrorism). And then 'former Muslim' ladies like the one above can sound all special and civilized by rather superficially citing the barbarity of terrorism and the civility of the west by merely citing the differences in tactics and wealth as her evidence.

When in actuality the mentality is much the same on both sides. The truth of the matter is that it's so easy to point and criticize the appearance of the poor man when he is in rags, while ignoring the fact that the Jihadists are from the old (yes, undoubtedly rather backward) strata of the colonized and oppressed while the west is the also backward ruling strata of imperialism and forced McGlobalization. Both of these opposing forces of rather similar mentality reinforce each other, and if you attempt to support either side and fight fire with fire: you're only going to make the situation exacerbate. I mean it's quite obvious; terrorist organizations grew in size and force exponentially ever since 'the war on terrorism' was declared. And likewise, when radical Muslim extremists decide to ram planes into towers as opposition to western involvement in the Middle East; what they got is more western involvement in the Middle East.
