When has extremism ever been defeated by tolerance? Genuine question.
Human history is blood red and I haven't read an account of tolerance of barbarianism defeating barbarianism.
I suppose you could argue over the long haul, enlightenment and all that, but that includes a lot of unnecessary death of completely innocent people.
So I suppose you are saying we should all just watch our backs and hope for the best until this all blows over. Bad luck to the many who will be murdered?
I think this is a great article, I just don't believe radical religion is going to go away without some kind of pushback.
