Whether we are at war or not is irrelevant. They are, and will be for the forseeable future.
Personally, I am not sure that there is anything we can do about it, other than to try and stop them where we can.
Maybe a muslim Martin Luther will emerge. Unfortunately, he will be considered an apostate by the true believers.

What I liked in the Pew Research report is that it breaks down by age, by country, by type, etc... so that the sorting function is more controllable. The idea is not to further alienate and challenge 1.6B people, but use vocabulary and focus on where the best leverage points exist. They vary by region and demographic. Isolating a smaller set seems a better approach to me. 800 million are illiterate, so expecting any nuanced understanding from that segment is probably not going to pan out. It is not a solution, but rather places to chip away and plant new ideas.
I admit, it may be no more than an attempt to drive around a blocked road on the wrong one, but it also may be a decent shortcut as well. And the road is blocked...
