Tell me how!
I am not a Muslim. That is for Muslims to discuss and develop strategies.
1. Why are there elements within that religion who have a literal interpretation of the Holy Book? Both Jews and Christians have moved beyond this.
2. Why do Muslims allow Bedouin Arabs like the Saudis insert their primitive tribalism as fact, this especially in their intolerance for other religions, their harsh punishments even for Muslims who don't adhere to their primitive interpretation of the Quran, and their treatment of women. The Bedouinization of the religion has become apparent.
Long lost are the days when Islam was defined by Baghdad, Cairo, Timbuktu, and Andalusia (Spain).

This outline an era when the Christians were the terrorists with primitive interpretations of the Bible, while Islam represented knowledge and tolerance.
Muslims need to figure out how to remove the Wahhabis from their dominance of the religion. It is this conservative interpretation which leads to lunatics, then MISINTERPRETING the Quran. FACT. Al Qaeda got their money from some where, as did ISIS, before the latter conquered territory and so became able to create their economy.
This request was rhetorical. It was meant to highlight the irony of anyone calling on Muslims to do something, anything; as if they are the keepers of ISIL and Al Qaeda and it is no one else's business. It was meant to elicit babble from you and you gleefully obliged and in your usually indulgent way. Keep on trucking.......
