What would be good would be an accepted representative body of Islam declaring immorality wrong. But like I said above, Islam promotes immorality as you outlined in this thread.
Another weakness is like with the Catholic church, Muslims consider themselves such by birth as much as anything else. It makes for a more inclusive membership, with accompanying mass; but also a membership ignorant of the actual meaning of the religion. Hence in reality the struggle of people seeking justice leading to terrorism latching onto an easy cause which buys you political power - Islam.
