You've got no chance of changing these people. That doesn't mean we shouldn't try, but they have been told something since birth and all of the extreme views pushed on them. Hearing, from a guy in a different country, most likely of a different race, and telling them in their adult life, not to believe all that they've been fed forever is wrong, isn't going to change anything. It can only come from the teachings within and in their own communities.Having read a few bits I do think we need to challenge outright hate far far better
The freedom of speech argument can do one as can the laws on protest
It’s a really tricky balance but you need to deal with the low level shit to avoid it becoming the norm. I don’t know what that means in practice. Probably a kick in for whichever government first bans a protest for taking one side or the other
It’s all such a fuckin mess
Shooting a 10 year old for your prophet ffs
I might sound like a broken record, but until you get to 2nd and 3rd generation who have lived amongst western values and enjoyed the trappings of a different world to the one their ancestors have known, then you can't expect them to be more moderate. You only have to look at the raping rather than the murders where they in many cases don't even think they're doing anything wrong.
