We would not become what we loathe. I am still wondering about what that actually mean. If this is a just a attack on someone who is just different, maybe that is what you mean. We have a right to act preemptively from a biblical perspective. We also have a biblical right to self defense.

Agree. Did we become what we loath when we beat the Nazis? The Japanese?
Or did we show our true strength, determination and willingness to fight and die for what we love and know is right?

This is a complex issue for us to find a way to deal with Islam. There is possible change within Islam as I mentioned. I would suggest that you read and study the Qur'an, the Hadeths, understand Shariah law and then ask yourself,
1) How do I fit in, or what does Islam have in store for me?"
2) How can we help Islam change or deal with Islam and defend who and what we are?"
I see a combination of cures. One is the metamorphosis of Islam to a more tolerant 21st century religion, if possible. Like fighting any idea, it is not going to go away.

Sunni Islamic law prevents the change you suggest. I don’t have much hope for the Shias either.
Enclosed is the section on Scholarly Consensus and a couple highlighted areas for your consideration.
You’ll find that once a ruling becomes consensus, it cannot be changed later on by a succeeding era.
