We are breaking up their central nervous system, ie., financials, intel network, and training camps.
By educating the young now, they eventual become lone wolves.
They will splinter back off to the isolated cells they were before the finances and training came in.
It won't be easy, but the favorability of the SHAHADA eventual won't be supported by leaders. Well that is the goal. Having 'jihad' being translated to 'a struggle for change' vs. 'blow oneself up for Allah'.
