Of course it would help. Who would go around killing innocent people in the name of Islam if there were nobody in the West who'd give a crap about Mohammad or the so-called "caliph" of ISIS? If there are no Muslims to be "radicalized", you can rest easy knowing that your drawings of some fictional character won't get you a bowl of lead for breakfast.
Send them all home, let them deal with their own bad breed, and once they are ready to accept that living in a foreign country means accepting the norms of that country and not forcing your own values on your hosts, then maybe let them visit every once in a while.
The probability of this happening is 0, I know. This incident will probably be forgotten when the next sensation comes around, and we'll all go back to living carefree while our enemies are living right next door.
You may have gone over it and decided in your head that it's stupid, but that doesn't make it stupid.
It's straightforward. It's never going to happen, but I'd sell a liver to see it done.
Did you know that there are political parties all over Europe going by this idea? And each time stuff like this happens, they'll have more voters. Maybe do it enough times and they'll go ahead and go through with it.
Actually, it's pretty mild compared to those who'd just re-open Auschwitz for our lovely guests. Radicalization goes both ways.

Until you tell me how deporting all arabs won't result in what I said, then it's a stupid idea.

It's ridiculous, juvenile and myopic.

Okay, I'll try to go over it for you.
We, the EU, aren't as dependent on Arab oil imports as the US is, with only around 15% of our imports coming from the Middle East. Unemployment of nationals is growing due to immigrants taking up unskilled jobs, which is quite notable in Britain which is considering leaving the EU so it could introduce harsher immigration laws.
Yes, it might piss some people off, but we could cooperate more with Russia and it's satellite states to make up for our economical hit, or perhaps look for alternate sources of power like you said yourself.
We don't need the Middle East. Even if we did, we have the military capacity to carve out a piece if needed.
But then again, we are too liberal to do this. If someone blew up the Reichstag or the Eiffel Tower, we'd probably hold a minute of silence and blame the individual attackers, not what they represent.
