Such a large minority must be heard!

If the language of choice is bombs, well, a lot of people speak that language.

I pray we put our finger on the "turn of phrase" that will "dissuade" them from their mayhem. We must muster the stomach for whatever it takes to stop them, lest we be forced to pay with not only greater taxation, but loss of blood and our otherwise pleasant, free culture. We then need to send that message and carry through with the action(s) to stop them, as the situation may be called for to protect our country's people.

Thereafter, maybe they'll live more as the Amish, in secluded groups that keep almost entirely to themselves.

Pre-emption is no longer an operative term for what we must do, even without further provocation, given the number of attacks the world has seen in the last several hundred years, with the ever-greater bent to maximal damage and death via WMD.
