How about making sure the government talks with the Muslim minority in many countries. Help them with their community like you would any other. Foster inter-community bonds and be harsh towards any form of discrimination.

You'll go a long way. Oh, and maybe stop bombing the Middle-East while you're at it. It's not really nice seeing western-made weapons causing scenes of spilled guts in the streets and cities reduced to rubble. Can't really fault their media for showing that. It leaves a terrible imprint on ones mind and it doesn't help in fostering a sense of respect for each other.

 

Seeing the violent riots are horrible. Much worse compared to television.

 

The ones in Gazs are especially horrible. Once I've seen the riots in hand, I've now gained a sense of distrust for the Israeli army.

I know, Belgium TV has been very mild with the images. Even the "shocking images" are relatively mild. But I do watch Al Jazeera and stop to watch a Turkish or Arab TV station from time to time when I walk past a local café just to get a different perspective. What you see on these kind of TV stations is a lot more gruesome and disturbing. When you see images of what happens in Yemen for example, and then you know that Belgium is one of the largest weapon exporters to Saudi-Arabia, it makes you feel ashamed and angry.
