britexpat,
Acknowledging the problem objectively and its root causes without fear, is what is missing in both sides: the non-muslim world and the muslim world.
The first one is afraid the second one is on denial.
Both sides have to change their positions.
The non-muslim world need to act fearless as Douglas Murray did in the above linked debate: "Neither is it an accident, or a small detail that the largest Sunni state, Saudi Arabia, the most important in the world, is a closed prison of a society."
And the muslim world need to free themselves from the stagnation they trapped themselves and acknowledge that the quran contains a lot of text that inspire hate, violence and murder and needs to be tackled in public accordingly (sadly, its today a mission impossible)without the usual hypocrisy so characteristic and needed to be able not to see what is so crystal clear for 75% of the world population and many ex-muslims, like Ayaan Hirsi Ali ("she believes the reason the motion for the debate is not ‘Is Christianity a religion of peace?’ or ‘Is Judaism a religion of peace?’ is because those would be academic questions. Unfortunately, placing Islam under the microscope is not an academic exercise: it is a pressing and timely issue, precisely because religion continues to inspire Muslims around the world to commit violent deeds.").
I hope you are right, that this Islamism phase will dissipate soon, before the extreme right wings will slowly take over and will start cleaning the mess their own way!
