I apologize, you are right Islam may not be always a danger to the western civilization, but for that to be true:

Schools in Islamic countries should not be run by Mullahs ,
A reduction in Madras's and a dramatic increase in public and private modern schools
A 90 % literacy,
Reeducation of poverty ,
Reduction in Natality rate
Secular and Democratic Governments
Separation of powers
Reduction in the endemic Corruption, the Feudal system, mentality and the cult of the LEADER
A TV Cable and vhs in every house hold with access to most international channels
Good Hospitals and public Services
Good Housing accessibility
In two words, Have a good living and something to lose.
Change the Koran mandate to convert by force the World, accept tolerance , accept others proselitism
The Feudal lords ( Kings, Rulers, Mullahs) should stop feeding the poor with hatred as a steam valve
Do you think is it possible in the next century?

Regarding the Muslim Tolerance to Jews and Christians you are partially right, In the Golden Ages of Islam, Islam flourished in Art, Arquitecture, Mathematics, Literature, Arquitecture, Medicine and others, Jews were the considered
" People of the Book" and had to be protected, they had big names in medicine, mathematics and others like Maimonides, but Jews were to be always subjects and 2nd class citizens, Christians were 3rd class citizens, the tolerance was as long Islam Ruled, it happened in Iberia, Beriberi land, Mugrab ( North Africa) and some other places . I n the Ottoman Turkish empire was the same and even more Because the turks protected the Jews and hated the Arabs whom they considered inferiors ( I personally don't consider them or any one inferior, just different idiosyncrasy) Muslims didn't hate jews until the end of the Ottoman empire and the beggining of the British Empire. in the Middle East.
