All of Christianity had to change in order to get along with the rest of the world. In order for that to happen, it had to be interpreted differently. All of Islam is regularly interpreted this way or that by various figures in the religion. At some point those figures will start interpreting it differently. Just like the Bible, there are plenty of contradictory teachings in the Koran, and eventually the religion will pick the bits that let us live on the same planet without killing each other.

Until that time, there will probably be violence.

As far as the original guy goes, he is part of the reinterpretation, and he is a garden variety troll who is able to purchase cheap radio time, and doesn't represent a common viewpoint. As his belief does not find a toehold it will slowly be abandoned.
