The easier option has the benefit of being the only solution with historical precedent for stopping their expansion. As support for my contention I give you Tours, the Reconquista, Malta, Lepanto, Vienna, etc. The only times they've been deterred was when so many were slaughtered that they had to go home and spend generations breeding another army.
How long before Paris is a regular event throughout Europe? What do they have planned for us; i.e., how long before they figure out how to get an Islamabomb into the US? It's inevitable and while our security has to be perfect all the time, they only need to get lucky once.

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.
~ Marcus Tullius Cicero (42B.C)
