The problem is not with Islamic fundamentalists, it's with the fundamentals of Islam.
Muhammad was a sex slave owning conquering warlord who conducted a violent and successful insurgency and received all of his Sura (the quran) while conducting this violent insurgency. He received his sura on an "as needed" basis as he was conquering Arabia. Much of Islam is therefore concerned with rules handed from god to Muhammad about how to conduct a violent insurgency.
Violent insurgency is hardwired into Islam and there's no changing that. Ever!
Yes, Muhammed spoke of other things, but the violent insurgent ideology doesn't go away just because moderate muslims and liberal westerners reject that part of it or pretend it's not there. In fact, fundamentalists will simply treat this group of scholars as infidels since they are clearly going against much of what Muhammad said and did.
Don't be surprised to find some of these scholars turning up dead.

If god was real he wouldn't need middle men to explain his wants or do his bidding.
