I think the only hope of eradicating groups like this effectively and long term, is if the global Islaamic community as as whole, or those who identify as muslim (sunni muslim I think?), start to openly and aggressively challenge the fringe lunatics in their own ranks. The extremist ideology needs to be shunned and shamed at every turn. Until that happens its just going to be a matter of the outsiders putting out fires here and there. I think most level headed people know that this isn't a representation of all followers of Islam. But until the people that lead and prescribe to that religion start actively policing their own, their religion has been hijacked by lunatics and will be able to recruit other followers.
