How can the West counter the cult-like control that Islamic State exerts over Muslims in the West and make it harder to recruit them?
First of all, Islamic State does not have "cult-like" control. A cult leader derives his control by convincing people who are neutrally disposed towards the cult leader that the cult leader can provide spiritual release for the cultists. Islamic State finds people who are predisposed to support their agenda by expressing interest in or defense of the policies of Islamic State. Then the "Islamic State Helpdesk" begins a relationship with the potential individual using social media or internet communications. When that relationship has been fomented, the Islamic State is ready to coordinate their travel to Syria.
As a result, there are two main ways to go after Islamic State: ideologically, by promoting Liberal Islam, and functionally, by creating a CyberArmy to track Islamic State communications and stop their ability to communicate.

How can the West counter Islamic State using its successes as a tool and make it harder to lure in Westerners?
Perspectives of Muslims need to change on this. Changing what people think of violence and carnage is not something that Western governments can easily impose. The West needs to support the Muslim voices condemning these things for rational reasons. As a a result, the West needs to support Liberal Islam and Liberal Muslims. It needs to provide them financial support, protection from violence, and make them more prominent in mainstream culture. Western countries have to support the reformers who are trying to make changes in Islamic Doctrines that support Islamism in order to promote a greater freedom for all Muslims and Non-Muslims.Another measure, which is more of a stopgap, is to prevent Islamic State from having successes, by supporting the militaries on the ground that oppose them.
Are the Muslims doing anything to counter the growing fear among non-Muslims?
Muslim leaders have realized that they need to educate the public more about their religion and culture. They have scheduled open houses and public meetings and conferences to dispel fear, confusion and misconceptions about Islam and what it represents. Interfaith "iftar" dinners have been held, with members of other faiths participating and learning more about the traditions of Ramadan and daily Islamic life.
How can the West counter the appeals of Islamic State to the religious duties of Muslims in the West and make it harder to lure in Westerners?
The West needs to support Liberal Islam and Liberal Muslims. It needs to provide them financial support, protection from violence, and make them more prominent in mainstream culture. Western countries have to support the reformers who are trying to make changes in Islamic Doctrines that support Islamism in order to promote a greater freedom for all Muslims and Non-Muslims.This is about promoting, within Islam, any reformers like Tawfik Hamid, Maajid Nawaz, Irshad Manji, Tarek Fatah, etc. who could create a viable non-politically oriented Islam so that there is another path for Muslims. Also support individuals like Mustafa Akyol who promote an Islamic defense of secularism. These voices need to be able to sway more people to the idea that true Islam does not promote Islamism.
