Many muslims nowadays have allowed more inserted modern thoughts into their ideology, allowing them to live peacefully with non-muslims without any issues. Unfortunately, there are still muslims who have a backwards way of thinking.
Solution? Stop telling people it isn't "real islam" and let the reformation finally begin. I see people who criticize those who want to reform, saying "that's not true islam", but they'll criticize people who preach "true islam". I mean, no offense, but don't expect to see Islam die for a long time. It also is tied with culture for many people. You can't expect Islam to magically disappear. We're slowly going to a point where the 'extremists' are considered nuts and are shunned by most people. If we continue on this path and wipe out the dangerous ideas, then we'll be closer to less problems from religion. Christianity has done it, there's no reason Islam can't

Completely agree. Islam need a reformation like what Christianity went through, and it can only happen within Islam, not by outside forces pushing their ideas on people. Many primarily Muslim countries have taken great strides towards democracy and basic human rights, and those are the countries that need support, if they wish to have it.
