Nah, you have to improve the conditions first as the only way to eliminate radical elements is to pacify them. Anyother way just creates more radical elements.
But what about those 'toxic radical elements in their society' who live in the UK? They have the benefit of improved social and economic conditions, yet they are still burning flags and calling for murder to be commited in the name of islam, over some daft cartoons.
How exactly is giving an extreemist a disposable income and a bill of rights going to change his desire to cut off the heads of the infidel defillers?

I can see where you're going with the whole 'educate the ignorant' thing; indeed I'm a proponent of such and ideal myself, however, it will only change those who want to change. I think it's a bit naive to think that better living conditions and economic security will do much to change the true beleiver and his intent to do you and me harm.
