I generally agree. We should only keep the fun sacred cows, the ones that people would admit to being a matter of personal taste and don't mind being mocked about, like sports teams or musical preferences. We shouldn't get rid of those because it would make the world more boring.
Do you mean "The only way" literally ?
Or do you mean "the best way" ? Or maybe "worth the expected carnage ?"
I guess it could change from within Islam, but I basically don't see any other ways random outsiders can influence the behavior of fundamentalist Muslims.
I am not sure that my understanding of sacred cows includes things like this.
