We should promote the seperation between non-muslims and thousands of muslims who have **** all to do with the terrorism being committed in their names.

How do we do this as a country, however? (I agree with what you're saying, I'm just curious how we can implement this thought into our society)
Its almost impossible to, but I'd suggest having more armed police at crowded events such as marches, and have more active security patrolling streets. Also crack down on black markets for selling firearms, while also encouraging people to watch out for signs of radicalisation and to report it. And if someone is on a terrorist watchlist of any kind, they should have their property searched and monitored closely, instead of following Europe's past strategy of knowing they're there but ignoring the threat.
Stop bombing other countries?
Get rid of religion.
Youre not going to find that answer here. People on this forum are so full of hate that they would rather bash islam as opposed to finding a pragmatic solution.

Standard response you'll get:

"What's wrong with bashing a violent ideology?"
- Nothing, its just overused now and shows youve got nothing original to say. Neither is it helping. And i think everyone is well aware that its linked to islam so no, you're not raising awareness.

And how's that going to work?
The first responsibility lies with the Islamic preachers and clerics. These guys have done tremendous harm to us as a community and by extension western AND eastern society.
Most of them are very quick to denounce terrorism but the one thing they won't do is to address the root cause which is reject the doctrine of armed Jihad and declare that in the modern era of a nation-state with a rule of law, armed Jihad has no place.

It's not, obviously. The point being that religious ideologies are behind the current wave of terrorist activity happening across Europe.

In practical terms in the UK we have the 4P's which make up the CONTEST strategy.
You wont - that is until you stop believing in what you read in the news and the media. Get rid of the bankers and the media. They are the ones who rule this world and people are too ignorant to read and listen to anything other than what is forced through to them via mainstream news. The media (who are owned by the bankers) love the blind sheep who follow their shepherd. The sheep in this case are the general population and the shepherd is the media.

I agree that, in the long run, this is the issue

as long as ("minor", i.e. violent) jihad is considered a duty for Muslims, you will have people declaring their own jihad or following the craziest leaders and improvised "scholars" and amirs. So, religious reform is the actual solution - however, this is a development that Muslims will have to do on their own

in the short term, there is little that can be done, beyond improving exchange of information, increasing precautions at collective events and settings, and better monitoring of radicalisation processes

however, since part of the social media are beyond monitoring possibilities, this will not be so easy...

true

we should also get back to living in caves and to sacrificing our first-borns to arcane divinities

some anthropophagy would also be appropriate
-Anyone ever convicted of a terror-related charge is deported if they're a foreign citizen
-British citizens with terror convictions are thrown to a special prison where they'll never be seen again

-Much greater surveillance of those suspected of terrorism and their communities

-Informants within communities likely to produce terrorists

-Seizure of all property/assets any caught/killed terrorists have.
-Including that of the immediate family when there is reason to believe they were aware of extremism but didn't report

-Allow for licensed concealed-carry firearms with citizens, after stringent training and background checks

-Checkpoints in areas at-risk of terrorism
Certainly by not letting in millions of migrants that hold almost no western values.

Increased surveillance and policing powers.

stop encouraging it with nuclear weapons and silly war-provoking policies and being trump and being rude to immigrants and people of different races/religions/orientations

Spoiler

US breaking alliance with Saudi will help.
Stop caring about terrorism, get over the fact that you might be killed by a random Muslim, just as you can be run over by a car or electrocuted by a lightning. The only thing these attacks accomplish is causing terror (that why we call them "terrorist attacks"). If we stop caring there will be no reason to continue.
