Have open days
Televise these prey events and side events
Become more integrated
Put notices outside mosques , visually condemning radicals,march as so .
State publically everywhere , outside mosques , Muslim schools that these radicals " are not one of us or represent our religion "
Give up those they suspect are showing tendency radical views/ways or those who show show anger towards their new openness and solidarity against these type of ideology .

For me there is not enough evidence that the above happens .
I am not one to usually get involved in these type of debates/discussions. But IMO, the answers and solutions lay within their own communities. I agree with 'Life on Mars' - not enough is being done within the muslim community, either by parents or religious leaders. It seems the latter have in many cases been the orchestrators of radicalisation.
