I think people also need to recognise that your Muslim neighbours supporting radical tenets of Islam, even if they're not violent people, is still connected to the same movement ISIS are part of.
With Islamism as a political movement, it's more than just people getting shot and blown up. As I've said before, this "offense taking" culture is also Islamism, trying to get anti-blasphemy laws under the guise of "hate crime laws". Any attempt to censor and Islamicise societies goes hand-in-hand with the violent terrorists, they're not distinct and exclusive from eachother. It's not enough just to oppose the terrorist wing of Islamism, you also have stop the relatively softer manifestations from creeping in too. Every inch you give this religion, it takes a mile.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
