Eradicating the causes behind radicalized anything would be the ultimate panacea... and far better than killing the people who become radicalized.
Unfortunately, it would seem that is tilting at windmills...
I really don't see it as a religious issue as much as a power issue.
People who want power will drape themselves with whatever banner makes them palatable to their supporters, and will claim allegiance to any dogma or belief structure they can in order to garner support.
I believe that we need to let places and peoples sort out their own affairs, and quit supplying them weapons.
Any system which is imposed upon a society, regardless of how beneficial, will still be artificial and therefore weak. Egypt comes immediately to mind.
Societies need to develop on their own as a mandate from the people, or they will be destined to failure.
