Refering at single events and individuals exactly is what helps islam to claim the posture of being a victim of radicals hijacking it. Instead, stick to the ideology, describe it's content from it's "holy" scriptures", point finger at it's contradictions and how these help to mask the intolerance and brutality and discrimination islam has for all what is not itself. Confront Islam on its very own ideology, en detail, with all determination, and do not give it any room instead that to move back.

Radicals do not hijack it. while sometimes they are violating islamic laws when turning against other muslims, for the most they are representing the commands and orders of how they are given in islam, by muhammad's nice little book. If only Westerners would open their eyes and see that. But since that would mean to declare war and pick a weapon and fight, they prefer to deceive themselves. Weak stupid cowards make bad fighters. But that is what would be needed in the widest meaning of the word: fighters, in the political arena, in the medias, in society (civil courage), but we do not have fighters, and the rare exceptions we occasionally witness we turn our backs on, and relativise the dimension of the threat instead. We do not have fighters indeed. What we have instead is brainless hot-air merchants - but these stand at the ready line by line. And there seem to be no remedy for that.
