Teach everybody the Koran
I think the way forward is in influencing interpretation rather than Bowdlerising. The Bible has parts that should also make us squirm, e.g. Exodus 22:
“18 Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live” – King James I had a merry time on that – and among the 613 Mitzvot commandments:
“611.Always to remember what Amalek did (Deut. 25:17) (CCA76).
612.That the evil done to us by Amalek shall not be forgotten (Deut. 25:19) (CCN194).
613.To destroy the seed of Amalek (Deut. 25:19) (CCA77).”
Some say the Amalekites were indeed exterminated and so these injunctions are now redundant; others say the Armenians are Amalek-descended (see http://www.schechter.edu/AskTheRabbi.aspx?ID=530)
Fact is, most people are selective about their religious practices and if society in general is running smoothly they don’t concern themselves with the bloody bits. Education and open (liberal in the best sense) discussion are needed – evil festers where the like-minded gather and develop their groupthink and ideological drift. That goes for our homegrown WBRI-classified soi-disant-patriotic Jew-and-Muslim-haters, too.
