Rather than editing the Koran, it needs scholarly and open interpretation for what it is: the work of "holy" men over a period of time, and not something to be taken verbatim as written by the hand of God, and thus not open to interpretation by mere mortals.

There's simply no viable candidates for this approach; therefore it's not any sort of real world solution to the problem.

I didn't point out, but I should add here, that we should give Muslim clerics the first opportunity to excise the hateful and inciting texts in any amended Quran to be used for religious instruction. But, one way or other, out it goes. Not in a millennium or a century or probably even a decade. Now.
