I understand it entirely, if not condone it. Let's look at it from a different perspective: Evolution. It is the cosmology of choice for those who believe they are above believing in deities, from certain respected scientists to the teen that just wants to rebel against "authority". Most people that believe it have not actually studied it that much. They really couldn't tell you much beyond the $100-$300 range of questions on Jeopardy. And yet, as I have asserted before, people get downright dogmatic about it.
They believe it to be the ultimate truth and reality for everyone. And so they inflict their belief on others by ensuring that it is the only one that gets a hearing in taxpayer-funded schools. They have no respect for certain other beliefs, and try to ban them from the public view. Non-believers are considered unintelligent heathens. Respected scientists who have the audacity to point to legitimate failures of their beliefs are called infidels and drummed out of their jobs. This treatment is sometimes not unlike that of other faiths in Muslim-run countries *hint* *hint*.

Why should Muslims care what any non-Muslims do?

It's human nature. Everyone has these inclinations to make everyone else agree with them. The degree to which you can control these urges and present your side diplomatically, without resorting to force of the violent or judicial variety, is an indicator of how civilized you are.
Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm; for love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame. -- Song 8:6
