The true radicals in Islam are the EXTREMELY rare ones who believe Islam can co-exist peacefully with Western values. More power to them, but realistically you have to admit that they are irrelavent in this global war. They aren’t making a dent.

The jihadists are following over 1000 years of written Islamic theology, and jurisprudence. Read their texts. It may be unpleasant to accept, but they are following the established teachings of their religion. We as a society need to grow up and accept that. Most of us are unwilling to do so because once you do there is no choice but to resist. Resistance is hard. We don’t like hard stuff.
