Terrorists as in 9/11 scored a major blow and increased National Paranoia without the use of WMD. How much terror has been generated globally by the use of a sharp knife and beheading?
The nuclear option fantasy wouldn't solve the problem. Other countries have Muslim populations. England for example. Nukes would just provide more recruits for the Jihad.

We don't have to use nukes to win. But, we do have to WANT to win and set that as the objective. You sound defeatist to me ... but maybe I'm woring.
We CAN immolate (carpet bomb with B-52s etc) major cites like Raqqa and such. Sorry, the mosques and some civilians go up in smoke with it but to win the war you have to terrorize the enemy into giving up.
Also, we can DEPORT the Muslims in UK and elsewhere. I suggest we give them free one way tickets to any Muslim country of their choice, and encourage them to choose Syria.
We will eventually do this, but only after we have enough dead Americans on US soil to shake the haze from everyone's eyes and we feel the fear of what happens if we don't win.
This is pretty simple actually ... look at the history of wars for example in the Roman Republic and later Empire. Lesson is ... you either fight to win, or you ... lose.
