The "thinking" Muslim community can do a great deal to tackle the scourge of extremism! They can admit that parts of their scripture, the Quran, lead to extremism and do not belong in the 21st century. Regardless of who authored these passages, in another era, they should be removed. Steps should be taken to begin a "reformed Muslim religion" that is based on the positive and relative passages of the Quran. Individual Muslim adherents should be offered a choice of adhering to an "outdated" Quran or practicing a religion that reflects 21st century values.
