There are also a lot of people who think we can "transform" them or "educate" the terrorists. There is no such thing as compromise with terrorists. Terrorist leaders are also highly educated people. So essentially what is being done here is trying to get every single last one of them, but obviously that is next to impossible considering the fact that new leaders and groups are born constantly. |
Also, it's just not much of a threat.
Car accidents, cancer, and 10896 other things harm more people every day. If people just ignored it, treated it like the stats of people killed by falling coconuts, it would all be fine. But the public, media and government each work to blow it up into a big external threat of war each for their own agenda or just out of ignorance.
Such that there is a way to prevent terrorism, it is better education of young people BEFORE they become ideologically compromised.
In particular:
- Paying attention to children with mental illness. The school shootings are always done by that one quiet kid who everyone ignored or mistreated throughout their life. There needs to be early and regular intervention
- Having a functional secular school system in Islamic countries, instead of letting it all be run by the mosques and emphasising the Quran over arithmetic, science and literacy.
So yeah I propose ignoring terrorism 100% (never speak of it again) and fix society's other problems in terms of education and social support in their own right.
