If you want to get rid of Muslim radicals, not dropping bombs on their heads is a good place to start.

Before you talk about "negative impact" of Islam, I suggest you read a little bit about Islamic civilisation. I'm not being an advocate for Muslims neither am I trying to justify the actions of radical extremeists but the history of Islam is over 1400 years old and you are focusing on something that is not even a century old.
