Let’s hope they’re saying the right prayer

Either their governments control the mosques, or the mosques control the governments.

First, is there a pro-Christian reporter to be found in the MSM. I suspect I’ll need only both hands to count them.

Second, the problem of Islamic extremism won’t go away, ever. Egypt could most effectively reduce it via free markets, but the generals need their cut.

Even that isn’t a perfect cure. The most devout Muslims are the deadliest.

Civil society (and especially religion) outside the realm of politics and government, is a Western European invention. Its not the norm - it is the rare exception.

Muslim society is the exact opposite of that.

Their problem is that, accurately interpreted, Islam is a violent, tyrannical, and extremist political ideology. The good news is that there is an element of human nature at odds with those central tenets. Therefore, those who practice something more placid and spiritual will lose a debate with the extremists. Yet virtually the entire population is Islamic. The government cannot therefore press their issues with the "extremists" without repression.

It's the nature of the beast.
