Thing for me is, how do we stop this???

As always, Maajid Nawaz is the man to be reading/listening to on this subject.  As an ex-Islamist who's spent the last decade or so fighting his erstwhile comrades and their ideology, he knows the problem inside out.

The long and short of it is, liberal Muslims in the West need to be given support and solidarity in tackling Islamists within their communities rather than being ignored/smeared/betrayed by all sides of the political spectrum, and in the Middle East, the Kurds need to be given a shitload of support in tackling ISIS militarily.

And as none of this will be solved in a matter of days, months or years (even decades might be overly optimistic), the rest of us need to crack on with our lives, not be bullied by hate-spewing dickheads of any stripe, and keep pushing the spread of secular democracy worldwide
