I'm no expert, but my basic understanding is that Islam is actually a peaceful and loving religion. So the violence commonly associated with Muslims is actually just a radical fringe, not the primary group.
So in that sense, there is no Muslim-violence problem any more than there is a Christian-violence problem, or a Hebrew-violence problem. So I don't think the solutions to this problem would be in any way specific to Islam. We, generally (the US included) have a serious mass-violence problem. We're all aware of the school shootings, and army base shootings, and theater shootings, and other kinds of violence domestically. I'm hoping that there is a solution to address all of these types of violence.
So far, the only thing I can think of is: better mental health care. But I'm sure there are many reasons that's not a real solution.
- theheck 11y agoI encourage you to read the actual text of the Quran, there are ample quotes that advocate violence against infidels and martyrdom, even if there are some quotes that contradict them.
- fuj 11y agoRead the Quran, then comment. There's nothing about being peaceful there, Sometimes ignorance is a bliss, but definitely not in this case.
