You want to ask them to commit apostacy in the name of world participation (a world they claim in its entirity) and material prosperity? To abandon the word of Allah for the sake of shared prosperity with the Kafirs, and lose the eternal heaven and be consigned to hell!
Your suggestion does confirm that that you do not understand Islam or the psychology of a Muslim.
Here is Sayyid Qutb in response to your question: "material prosperity and scientific progress are encouraged by the teachings of Islam, as they pretain to man's role as the representative of God on earth."
Here is Quran's response:
"You will not find any people who believe in God and the Last Day loving those who fight God and His Messenger, even though they be their fathers, or their sons, or their brothers, or their kindred. These are the people on whose hearts God has imprinted faith and strengthened them with a spirit from Himself. And He will admit them to Gardens beneath which rivers flow, to dwell therein. God will be well-pleased with them and they with Him. They are the party of God; truly the party of God will prosper.' (58:22)
