Sorry sil, that proposal is a non starter. Neither side would be willing to agree to that.
More to the point, why should we sacrifice free speech for peace anyway? Do you honestly think they are attacking the west because of the smut on tv? Give me a break. If they did, they wouldn't be found in strip clubs so much.
No. What they want is power. They want to rule over us because they think they have the right to govern us...
No, all violence is born from fear. And these young men (and now women) are afraid of what the West represents. They've even said this is the case. They call us "infidels" because to them we are the epitome of insanity. So, the more manifestly insane we appear, the easier it is for them to recruit people so extreme that they would blow themselves up to save their fellows from their (now) common fear. That fear boiled down to a didactic epitome: Bruce/Caitlyn Jenner moving in next door.
Russia has banned Americans from adopting children when the gay marriage thing looked solid. Other countries have joined them. We act like helter-skelter is the same thing as "freedom". It isn't. There has never been true freedom in the US since its inception. For instance, you are not free to commit treason...though today those laws are so lax that you might as well be free to. Citizen's United was a law created to embody treason: a back door to other countries influencing our elections in a very real and potent way. ie: other countries essentially governing us from without. This is the embodiment of how relaxing laws around freedoms can become fatal to a nation.

Other laws curb wanton freedoms; and rightfully they should. The harm gay marriage does to others is that it institutionalizes the final destruction of the nuclear family. It institutionalizes perpetually fatherless or motherless children. This is seen as abhorrent to all but the most perverse minds.
Exacerbating the problem is that the LGBT machine has a stronghold on the media through their iron fist in Hollywood. So islamic extremists, also plugged into the expanding media (internet) where their membership is more difficult to keep true to their fold, would FEAR the spread of Western culture to such an extreme that it would feel to them like impending annihilation. Because that's exactly what it is. Given enough time and a generation or two influenced by this rainbow iron fist, gay marriage would come to their shores as a challenge. That is the death of all they believe in at its core.
Now, I'm not apologizing for these islamic extremists as a whole. Their justification of torturing and beating down their own citizens is equally as crazy. A soul cannot be properly tested without freedoms, or if it is constantly being tortured or beaten down. God would not want this. This testing ground has different cultures though for different reasons. So I feel certain that islam, reined in, could exist just perfectly next to Western values, reined in. The problem is that suicide bombers and gay marriage are the manifestations of effect and cause, creating polarized extremes that almost seem like they are in competition to outdo each other. The end result will be nothing but global destruction. And I feel certain that the destruction of God/Allah's sacred creation would not be approved by God/Allah.
As I said before, religions are around to keep the troop in check, not to spur it on to total destruction of the whole world. Any edicts that report to do that are Satan's clever insertions through It's very human surrogates posing as sublime prophets. There is only one entity of the two Beings who would thrive, get off on and urge global destruction. If you think you're going to Heaven for destroying God's creation (the family or the earth) "as you read in Revelations" or wherever, you have been sold a raw bill of goods. And, you are unfortunately and eternally wrong.
Perhaps though you are right, that "neither side would be willing" to come to the table, even the gray-haireds...certainly the youth wouldn't. But they will come to the table eventually, as the insanity escalates. My point is that it's always best to rein in a runaway horse before you're right to the edge of a precipice, not after..
Long story short, gay marriage and Islam cannot exist in the same world without total destruction. I didn't create this reality; it is a reality that simply exists. Denying it is a fool's errand.
