Simple solution to Muslims complaining
Is anyone else becoming a little bit fed up with either opening a newspaper or turning on the radio to find Muslims moaning about something?
Are YOU complaining ?
There is one solution that many people use these days: Bury your head in the (desrt) sand.

shoot the messenger

Hmmm. The common denominator is the "messenger" of news to the populace. Maybe the old adage is wrong. Maybe we should shoot the messenger.
Whether it's the news media, an intelligence-gathering organization, or whatever, the people get riled up over what they hear from the messenger they perceive as telling them the truth.
The one exception here in your example might be the messenger to the Jewish people. I would not advocate shooting Him! OK, I am also not advocating shooting you for your other statements.
Disclaimer: OK, for those not familiar with sarcasm, I am NOT really advocating shooting anyone.
However, it raises the issue of what policy really will work when the messenger has an agenda of their own to spin things no matter what you do. In particular, if we fight, we rile them up. If we appease them, we embolden them. I think this is evident in the recent boldness of Chavez and Ahmadinejad. They are confident that America is not wanting to fight, and that the UN (or at least Russia and China) will be on their side against the superpower.

teach Islam Evolution
It is certain that religion will bring about the premature death of our planet.
Religion doesn't kill people. People kill people.
So, now. Will you let me keep my guns? (we may need them)
We atheists are innocent bystanders in a struggle between people who cannot prove a single thing about their faiths, we athiests are losing our world, and our children's world to people who are ending it because of a few fairytales.
Why be a bystander? Take some action to defuse the situation. You should start with those that most endangering us ... the radical Muslims. Teach them that they are worshiping a false god. Tach them Evolution and point out the flaws in their belief system. After that, you can challenge the Christians. But they are less the threat to end the world.
