One of two things is going to happen. Either the average muslim is going to attack these extremeists and stop their fanatical behavior, or, there will truely be another war between christians and muslims. There is no other possible outcome.

I for one am ready to obliterate them if it comes down to either them or us. I hope it never comes to that.

I agree except with one point. It will not be Christian versus Muslim. It is Islam against everyone not Muslim. That includes Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus, and whatever other religions one might want to add, and includes atheists and agnostics too whether they like it or not. All are in the line of fire of Islam.

Another FReeper, Steel Wolf, was kind enough to help me understand why Muslims do not rise to the occasion and stop Muslim violence toward non-Muslims. Here's what he wrote:

"Under Islam, apostates may be killed, even if they are nominally Muslim. Good Muslims are not supposed to kill other good Muslims under any circumstance.

That said,

What we would call a 'moderate Muslim' is an apostate. Rejecting jihad, living peacefully with your infidel neighbors and friends, pretty much anything that's not fundamentalist Islam, can be construed to be apostasy. That means that under Islam, it's more permissable for Bin Laden to kill American Muslims than it would be for them to kill him."

Something that should be used is conversion of Muslims in western nations. The Koran is loaded with accurate timelines and genealogical records taken from the Torah and Bible. Showing the Koran as a work of plagiarism must be strongly emphasized. The truth may hurt, but it doesn't hurt anywhere near as much as what I envision for those that remain Muslim.
