I've found the best way to talk to people like this is to come more from a place of caring than from rebuke of the content itself.
"Dude, you seem really bothered by this stuff. What's it like living in fear everyday? Assuming all this stuff is true, what can you do about it? If you can't do anything about it, then why worry all the time? You sure there's not something else going on that's causing this upset?"
A lot of these people who subscribe to extreme views are hurting in ways that are completely unrelated to the extreme content they consume. Most likely some type of trauma or experience or relationship that is resonating with the consumption of this content.
