Reporting a British citizen for radical behavior will only get a look under the law, how about his Iman stand up and denounce such rubbish as paradise and those 72 virgins promised are really 72 raisins? and again, they're rubbish as well.

I'm not sure you know what an Imam is, if your solution is for them to denounce Islam.
It sounds like from a common citizen point of view the people around him did what they could. It's difficult because as publicised as terrorist attacks are, authorities can't just arrest and detain someone for flying a flag or some other citizen claiming they're interested in extremist activities.
Solutions like what you're proposing are reminicient of McCarthyism, which history looks back pretty poorly on. As much as not knowing might feel scary, it's important to maintain freedom of speech and religion (this, coming from someone who felt the negatives of both quite often growing up).
