Continuing Question - Do True Adherents of Quran Really Want Change?

Looking at the premise here and reviewing the plethora of Quranic scholarship, AND the rancor imposed upon Israel for defending itself against the assaults of Quranically inspired hatred by both 'Palestinian' Hamas and the rest of the Iranian Islamic Regime's cohorts, are we to assume that even if the Quran could be moderated (and the evidence does not really support that contention), would negotiations of peace would follow? Hudna does not count.
To Dr. Pipes' long held argument, victory appears only if there are no concessions to a lesser goal of subjugation under force and not achieving a sense of common welfare and brotherhood - a brother by another mother.
The problem is that incitement from outside the immediate sphere of antipathies rages on in pride of empires (this observer uses that phrase more for reasons of such envy from external sources like Turkey, Iran, Syria and even Russia) from whence we see agitations and no solutions. Add to that the internal struggles of societal enmities that are destroying even the very fabric of Jewish life. This is why the Tanakh, and not the Talmud, should be the guide to assuring the outcome of peace; for the Quran does not have the answer to achieve a peaceful outcome.
