And how do you propose we do that?  Through diplomacy?  Say please tell us where you are getting your money?  Cut off the recruits by teaching them that growing carrots is more moral than fighting for their religion?  These for the most part are people who are uneducated or have only been educated in the madrassa.  They have no freaking idea about the United States or it's people except what has been drummed into their heads.  Sometimes I think that Americans fail to realize that Islam is a way of life for these people. Very different than the U.S.  They don't go out for a beer with their pals and talk sports. They go to coffee houses and talk about how the U.S. is responsible for every bad thing that has ever happened. 

I once spent a dinner with a Pakistani who was literally convinced that Muslims and Hindus could never live in the same country together.  He believed this to his core.  And he wouldn't be reasoned with.  These people are true believers, and nothing will change their mind.

I do not say nuke them.  But if you drop conventional bombs on their population centers it will get their attention.  They have already attacked us and make attacks on Western targets, killing innocent people.  They do this because they know we don't have the stomach to return the favor.  Instead peole put on their white hats and say "we don't do that.  That's not who we are".  But in fact they only laugh at us and think we are weak.
