How can we DESTROY Islam?

As the west becomes more and more anti-Muslim, the Middle East becomes more and more anti-west. A large bulk of people now want Islam to be wiped off the face of the planet, and at the same time, a large bulk of people don't seem to understand this can't happen without extreme warfare, unnecessary bloodshed, and holocaust-like tactics.

So, if destroying Islam is out of the question, what CAN we do to stop Islam?

All we can really do is force gradual change, until most of them are liberal/moderate. There will always be extremists. Just like there are still christian extremists despite many christians not going around killing people for their god.

That's another one of these simplistic opinions and questions that are the core of the problem. On both sides.

Why would we stop Islam? That's again broadbrushing muslims into being a community of extremists. We don't stop christianity, Islam or Judaism. We just support the moderates. Islam isn't spreading. The sheer notion is idiotic. We're dealing with relatively small groups of extremists that attack their fellow muslims nearly on a daily basis. Yesterday it was Bagdad, 30 dead. Today it was Lahore, 38 dead, mainly women and children. These extremists are as opposed to muslims not towing their line as they are to the West. That alone should convey the message. But it doesn't with certain people. They still like to broadbrush.

Nothing, you can't really "stop" a major religion these days without the wholesale eradication of its adherents. Religions like those practiced in Ancient Egypt and Ancient Greece were extinguished at the same time as the states that fostered them, but most of the major religions of today no longer survive solely under the auspices of one major governing body. Increasing transference between cultures and the movements of people over the millenniums has provided fertile grounds for introduced beliefs to take root among the local traditions, and the rapid globalization and population booms of the past century have only further fast-tracked this process. Pew Research wrote a rather nicely detailed article on the world's projected religious landscape in 2050.

Furthermore, I'm not really sure thinking Islam should be stopped is the right way of going about things. It's certainly going to be the religion that struggles the most with maintaining pace with modernization in terms of technology, democratic principles, and the proliferation of liberalized and secular values, but is it really a good idea to determine that an entire ideology and its followers must be treated with blanket opposition tactics if not all its adherents are equally at odds with your own set of values? Is that really the type of adversarial approach you want to endorse as a self-proclaimed free thinker?

The final solution is the only solution.

That would make you a lot worse than any muslim.

Yes, in the sense that a global nuclear holocaust will stop Islam, absolutely.

Those attacks were done by Sunni Muslims either trying to kill Christians or Shia Muslims.  Sunni Muslims make up the majority of Muslims.  Hopefully this religion won't spread since as you've pointed out this is the kind of thing that happens in Islamic countries quite often.

That's what I'm gonna do.

Education and enlightenment would solve the problem the world is in. You have the worst regimes ever sitting on a large pile of oil, funding populations that can barely read and write and have no skills what so ever and are generally bored in life. Proper schooling and having to actually work for a living would have fixed them...
