Who can understand the sources of Islam? Only Imams that have followers?

I read in the news that the terrorist who committed a crime in London over the weekend had just been released from prison.
Governments have to rehabilitate terrorists from their mythology. The governments must ensure that the reformed minds know that God doesn't speak to them through their Imams. They currently believe so.

It is on us to tell the people how nature works. God doesn't move pieces of the universe like in a video game. He doesn't ask his followers to kill others in his name.

This is the same for all religions.
Terrorists shouldn't have the freedom of their religion because their religion tells them to kill others.
They believe they will go to Heaven and get virgins if they die in a battle. As long as they believe in Heaven, God, and Muhammad, it will always lead them back to terrorism.

We need help from experts from Islam who also understand nature.

Moderate imams can't work on rehabilitation, because they share the same sources with the terrorists. Those are the Qur'an and the hadith.

Moderate Imams are different only because they don't like killing, and they don't like war. But they read the same sources as terrorists do.

The sources are wrong about nature and sociology, and that's the problem. Both sides have different conclusions. If moderate imams work on rehabilitating the terrorists, it only becomes a debate if Muhammad meant this or that. But it is questionable whether Muhammad ever said that at all.

So what to focus on?

It is very important to see a common denominator of the terrorist: they love the hadith.

In rehabilitation from terrorism, we must explain that hadiths are history, and history is prone to human error.

Authors like Reza Aslan provide historical context in his books. There are also many cultural Christians who write about the history of Jesus. Since the Muslims believe in Jesus, they can read about him from culturally Christian authors.

We can teach the jailed terrorists how history works and how religion fabricates it.

We should support people who do know how to understand the hadith and the Qur'an, such as Maajid Nawaz. He is doing a great job in challenging the narratives of Islamist extremists.

The Muslims believe in their imams too much

To reform a Muslim terrorist, we must tell them that their Imams get inspiration from sources based on a false premise.

Muslims tend to accuse anybody who speaks against Islam of being ignorant.

They tell it to anybody who points out an error in their sources.

I get a lot of these. As soon as I point out the error, they tell me to read Qur'an and that I need to understand hadith.

When I ask them to explain, they don't know, but they also claim that I don't know it either.

They take for a fact that only an Imam knows.

This is because they don't understand nature.

They believe their imams too much and they don't think for themselves. It takes time to work with prisoners and potential terrorists. It takes time for a person to settle in the new information and to develop a new perspective.
