Note that WWII caused the Germans and Japanese to become Pacifist and Kumbaya singers. They had to go through the obliteration phase in order to calm down and stop making war on the world. After losing badly, they become ambassadors for peace. This is what will have to happen to Islam as well. Total fanaticism must be dealt a death blow, then they too will hug everybody and call for world peace.

Unlike Germany and Japan Islam isn’t really open to change. The violence and intolerance of any rival is inherent in the Koran and waiting there for any group that starts taking the Koran seriously.

Nazism was something of a pagan aberration that has no deep roots in German culture. Japan is unlikely to become a problem for its neighbors unless they start claiming once again that their Emperor is divine, which they sort of abandoned in 1946. At any rate Japan won’t get any support from the outside, unlike Muslim countries do.
