As for what to do with Terrorists?
Why not target the problem that helps to breed terrorism?
When someone has cancer, do you treat the disease or the symptoms?

Since the problem lies within their religous thinking/beliefs; just how do you propose targeting the problem?

No it doesnt. Thats the same as claiming its Christianity's fault that Anti-abortion extremists bomb abortion clinics. Or that Catholicism is responsible for paedophile clergy.

Your analogy is like comparing apples to oranges, I might add. There is a big difference between killing one or two people and thousands.
Also the bible does not say it is ok to kill people
nor does it state it is ok to have sex with kids.
"...whoever killed a single human being... it is as if he has killed all mankind and whoever saves the life of one it is as if he has saved all mankind" [Koran 5:32]
Jihad (in Arabic, "struggle") is a central duty of every Muslim. Modern Muslim theologians have spoken of many things as jihads: the struggle within the soul, defending the faith from critics, supporting its growth and defense financially, even migrating to non-Muslim lands for the purpose of spreading Islam. But violent jihad is a constant of Islamic history. Many passages of the Qur'an and sayings of the Prophet Muhammad are used by jihad warriors today to justify their actions and gain new recruits. No major Muslim group has ever repudiated the doctrines of armed jihad. The theology of jihad, which denies unbelievers equality of human rights and dignity, is available today for anyone with the will and means to bring it to life.

What do I propose? I propose that the individuals with warped beliefs be targeted instead of muslims et al.

I'll take a shot at this. You need to attack the belief system and make their actions seem odius. Make them look childish. You need to embarass them in the eyes of their supporters.
Heavy duty psyops and the support of the muslim community. If they don't look like heroes and martyrs, if instead they look like cowards and fools, then the tide will turn against them.

Dont attack their belief (Islam). Attack their interpretation of Islam i.e. violence, murder and destruction. Do the attacking through the courts by charging them with conspiracy to commit murder, treason or racial/religious hatred. You dont need a single muslim cleric to say a thing to do the above. You just need to utilize the single most under-used resource of the War on Terror - our courts.
Do you have a list of all muslim clerics which you check off as to who condemned the actions, in order for you to suggest the majority does not do so? Please offer it of you do.

LONDON (AFP) - Senior British Muslim, Christian and Jewish clerics pledged together to resist and overcome the "evil of terrorism" as they denounced the London terror bombings, suspected to have been carried out by Islamic militants.
Muslim leader Sheikh Zaki Badawi said the clerics united- "to express our shared commitment to resisting and overcoming the evil of terrorism" in the wake of bus and subway train bombings Thursday that killed about 50 people.
"It is an evil that cannot be justified and that we utterly condemn and reject," according to a joint statement, part of which was read out by Badawi who chairs the Council of Mosques/Imams... Yahoo News

MADRID, Spain (CNN) -- Muslim clerics in Spain have issued what they called the world's first fatwa, or Islamic edict, against Osama bin Laden as the country marked the first anniversary of the Madrid train bombings that killed 191 people.
They accused him of abandoning his religion and urged others of their faith to denounce the al Qaeda leader, who is believed to be hiding out near the Pakistan-Afghanistan border.
The ruling was issued by the Islamic Commission of Spain, the main body representing the country's 1 million-member Muslim community. The commission invited imams to condemn terrorism at Friday prayers…CNN
