I don't think you quite grasp the difference between Islam and other religions.

All religions are ****ing stupid imo. One religion currently is being taken more literally, and might be more violent at it's core to begin with.
There's no "might". This is what I mean about a total lack of honesty. In Islam, the holiest and final example of a well lived/admirable prophet is a guy who
- Had sex with a 9 year old
- Ordered killing for poets who insulted him
- Order mass executions, including beheadings, of people who slighted him
- Said people should be killed for leaving the religion (and in fact, nearly half of global Muslims support this - including for family members).
- LOTS of other horrible stuff.
Do you think ISIS does what it does randomly? Do you think 1/4 of Muslims support them
randomly? ISIS are incredibly religious. They even
pray before raping.
Imagine if Jesus was like this. How different (and worse) would the Christian world have been? It was bad enough with a peace and love preacher as its last prophet.

That is a bad situation. But I'm only interested in solutions that don't end in the genocide or conversion of every Muslim on earth - which seems to be the end game of constantly harping on Islam and the Koran as the core of the problem.
There is no
simple solution. Education and the social narrative certainly works to a large extent. Prosecuting of hate speech in mosques, which is currently allowed to go on unchecked while far less dangerous and less extensive right wing hate speech is marginalized, is another example. There's a lot that can be done via education and deliberate de-radical-Islamification programs (not dissimilar to the the less extreme elements de-Nazification program that Germany underwent).
But we won't do it - even though we do the same to right wing bigotry/fascism - because it's considered incredibly racist.
