what to do about islamic extremists?

My contention would be with talking point simplification of an extremely complex issue. Granted I do indeed believe trying to turn the other cheek with Islamic Terrorists is naïve and ignorant granola crunching flowerchild stupidity. However, carpet bombing is an equally dumb idea and has proven detrimental in the past. The solution lies somewhere in between as far as I can tell but, I am certainly not the individual to figure out where.
Instead I can only deal with my local environment, avoid everyone and everything Muslim, wish them all the death they wish on me, and point out that there is no viable way to tell which are nasty and which are nice. Thus must ALL Muslims be considered nasty and dangerous.

You've must have had a really bad run of luck with Muslims... I've never met a Muslim (at least in person, can't say the same online) I didn't like. They've all been honest, hard working people, fair business owners/employers and all around patriotic Americans. At worse a few (truly few, most were accepting of reality) were Truthers to avoid admitting their coreligionists were assholes on 9/11.

I can say the same for Jews (except the Orthodox).

Christians? Mainline are mostly awesome. Evangelicals... I'd say hit or miss and favoring the bad.

Atheists are the worst but only if I acknowledge being a believer. If religion never comes up or they assume I'm 1 of them (a common occurrence due to my not being an Abrahamic) they're capacity for being awesome/assholes is proportional to the general population.

Such has been my personal experience.
