Italian mafias don’t strong-arm others based on religion.Let's say I believe what you say (and I do) that barbaric things done in the name of Islam are not representative of Islam.
What is the solution? As long as people accept that making laws based on scripture is acceptable, you will have men who will twist scripture to support laws they want to see passed.
I would think the first step is to implement secular government that is in no way beholding to religious hierarchy.
There are things that will go on until the ends of time. Just as the Italian mafia will never be eradicated. The best to do is what is being done in most cases: hold these groups accountable for their violence, before the competent authorities.
When you kill all these people, then you go to church on sundays; you are using a religion to suit your ends.
