Action that Should be Taken by Christians

"Action should be taken by Muslims...." and that's what the Islamic fundamentalists are doing, taking action, just not like the way you are recommending.

Followers of Yeshua HaMashiach are prescribed to respond in love and not by any means against the commandments of love. When Christians fail, they have to account for their actions. That's why hatred that leads to killing was never condoned by Yeshua.

We do not see that being addressed in similar fashion by the Muslim community when hatred for Christians is carried out without apparent concern for the souls of the Muslim offenders.

Actions of murder for a human cause cannot be elevated to a higher moral standard except that morality is redefined by human means. A just God will not let that happen in any eternal circumstance.
