There is a parallel of sorts in the USA that might be used as a template for action. The Ku klux Klan.

Good example. The way the KKK was taken down was by being made fun of... it became an embarrassment to be associated with such a lame organization.

A radio show was involved - they got the Klan buzzwords and mocked them as idiots.

That's the answer. Radical Muslims need to be marginalized. Not feared, not taken directly on, but laughed at... Like the Klan, Radical Muslims use the same macho honor, chip on the shoulder, control freak approach to life. Laughing at them hits them in their weak spot... They love a fight - it's why they recruit in prisons. They love the battle and death. Taking them straight on is feeding the sickness...

Cartoons, mocking the more idiotic ways, and plain laughter will drive the radicals out...

I think you are absolutely correct. Remember the two quotes that C.S. Lewis put at the front of The Screwtape Letters...

"The best way to drive out the devil, if he will not yield to texts of Scripture, is to jeer and flout him, for he cannot bear scorn." ...Luther

"The devil...the prowde spirite...cannot endure to be mocked." ...Thomas More

I think that was the real energy behind the cartoon uproar.
