Antidotes:
1) Education
2) Critical thinking
3) Oppose all attempts in secular countries to set up religious laws above secular ones, even in small areas
4) Stop pretending religion isn't causing problems
Here are the problems:
1 - Muslims seem to be fond of having their own Islamic schools even in western countries where it's authorized, and thus they teach some things right according to science but others are according to the Quran, so they create a mentality of US V THEM
2 - Without the former this is not possible, not to mention muslims like to claim they are scientific critical thinkers by pointing out obvious evidence in the Quran
3 - This is already happening however it doesn't make anything better, it just creates more conflict between Muslims and other people
4 - NAILED IT
