What is it about my questions that can't comprehend? Are you simply plain incoherent to the actual questions I'm posing?
Why is it that you seem think that I'm the one who should solve an issue that you seem to have? I'm not the one stating that the teachings of the Quran are violent if they are followed 'correctly' (in your opinion).

Radical Muslim conflicts account for more than half the world's wars at this moment WITHOUT counting terrorism? PROVE IT OR DON'T SAY IT. You can't prove it because it's not true.

Again, you're totally missing the point and failing to answer my question. I never stated that violent extremists didn't exist, now did I, Muaddib? However you implied this violence is due to the writings of the Quran - when it is 'correctly' read and followed. Yet again, (what is this - the 5th time now?), in light of this opinion of yours. What is your point and what is it that you propose?
Effort, Muaddib. Effort.

And by the same token, this leap of logic would mean that all the "false" Muslims, those who are peaceful, should be shown that they are following a fallacy and, if possible, converted.

Second, perhaps something could be accomplished if every Muslim cleric denounces to terrorism and makes public that Islam is a peaceful religion, condemming all suicide bombings or any and all terrorist attacks,

What actual answers to my inqueries haven't I 'accepted'? You do realize that you come off as if you're actually implying quite a bit, while you really don't want to actually say anything? Well if this is the problem, keep quiet. Because at this point, you're doing nothing to actually move this discussion forward.

Pfft...who the heck are you to tell me to keep quiet?....you keep insulting me as if that is a response.... if all you can do is insult, you should be the one keeping your mouth shut...
Keep the topic at hand if you want to discuss anything, and do anwser the questions i raised, which you just keep avoiding...
