There's an article published by WSJ, on August 7, 2017 about how we must not focus so much on terrorism but how the Islam as religion and ideology can and must be reformed.
Before 622, this faith and or ideology was really peaceful but after this date, it turned militant to conquer the whole world.
It's a very informative and focus on how our world can achieve peace.
Question : as simple as her insight and powerful argument, why can't it be done?

Islam is regressing into conservative simpletonism like we are only they start from a much lower place. Both cultures need some time out alone for soul-searching purposes and basically we're getting in each others way. The more we mix together the less earnest our self-reflection. Alone we will stand and together we fall apart.

We have been killing each other for our differences since the dawn of time.
It's not Islam or Christianity that is the problem. It is the perverse twisting of their ideologies. And this is not Islamic or Christian
It's about territory, gold, land and the fact that 'I am better than you'.
Islam is STILL a religion of peace. These sphincters are NOT followers of Islam. Christian fundamentalists are NOT Christians.
Calling yourself something, doesn't make it real.
Terrorism, works on this. Out of fear, we suspect those that are different.
Big Beard? He's automatically a suicide bomber!
During the First World War, Britons were kicking Dachshunds - because they were German - and the German Shepherd Dog was 'officially' renamed.
"The direct translation of the name was adopted for use in the official breed registry; however, at the conclusion of World War I, it was believed that the inclusion of the word "German" would harm the breed's popularity, due to the anti-German sentiment of the era. The breed was officially renamed by the UK Kennel Club to "Alsatian Wolf Dog"
Today, the Muslims next-door are as scared as the Christian two doors down, the Jew on the corner of the street, the mixed-race family opposite or the Atheist who runs the chip-shop.
They are just people...
If we start painting groups with such a broad brush, demonising them based on the behaviour of a minority... then they have already won!

Nice speech Grumpy, but the reality is a bit more complex than that...

Are you suggesting that our humanity will always be divided and no unity to be achieved?

Because if that's the case then what a waste of energy for us to be fooled by such a promise. That's to understand her opinions as a positive route to reform.

It's not , its a whole way of life guide ,they that choose not to follow die .
Grumpywriter: A full and compelling argument. Thank you for your insight.
I will give you a more I sightful argument after I finish my work Grumpy. You seem to have plenty of time on your hands. Just one question before I go, have you read the Koran and have you lived in an Arab country? Ops, two questions. Have a lovely day!
