The only thing dumber than bringing a knife to a gun fight is bringing a gun to a God fight. We are at war with magical thinking and no amount of violence will change that fact.
I'm no fan of Islam, as an atheist. I realize, though, that they aren't the only source of ignorant, entitled, ass wipes on this planet, though. If we're going to exterminate them, let's include anyone who adheres to a magical worldview, whether they subscribe to spiritual or political or whatever dogma. Any ignorant belief to which people feel entitled to murder others over is a time bomb that reasonable people shouldn't have to risk killing them. But, the conservatives, here and abroad, lobby CONSTANTLY in favor of magic and, as such, they pose the greatest risk to everything that rational thinking has earned our species. I wish that all of the religious people, the fanatics of all stripes, had a separate planet where they could murder each other without it risking the secular society that the rest of us rely upon to provide rational governance. But, there isn't one.
The truth is, crazy religious zealots will always have an advantage over the rational. Crazy religious people have NO standards, as gods can require absolutely anything in defense of their one "true" faith. It's much harder for the rational to excuse mass murder. It is that inherent disadvantage that makes us feel so insecure.
Humanity isn't ready for any lasting peace as long as we prefer to indulge our fantasies at the expense of lives, liberty and rational society. I know you're not the only one who thinks like you do. However, if greater minds than yours (there must be very many) can find no traction in this false reality the religious and political fanatics have created, we are doomed to live in perpetual fear that their gods may demand they do the unthinkable. We are lost unless this planet gets blessed with a virus that attacks dumb ****s.
Let's pray for that.
