We cannot hope to effectively counter extremism if we just focus on schools, universities and prisons: we need to take this online as well.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Let's not leave an educational vacuum to be filled by religious extremists who go to families who have no other option and offer meals, housing and some form of education. If we are going to combat extremism then we must educate those very same children.
The British and French governments have taken a strong stance against 'extremist content' online when addressing their approach to tackling extremism.
Violent extremism is going viral, but our response to it is moving at bureaucratic, sluggish speed.
Let me be very clear: We monitor the risks of violent extremism taking root here in the United States. We don't have the luxury of focusing our efforts on one group; we must protect the country from terrorism whether foreign or homegrown, and regardless of the ideology that motivates its violence.
We've got to look to our educational programs and focus on doing what we can to stem violence in the schools.
The Internet plays an ever more significant role in the sedulous promotion of terrorism. We know that in the U.K., groups gather to view the preaching of violent men located many thousands of miles away and that this does have a powerful effect on young minds.
Open debate is our strongest tool in standing up to extremism. The far more dangerous avenue is to force extremist ideas underground, where they can fester without competition.
I am looking for suggestions on what we can do about extremists within our own society. They cannot be ignored.
We have a rise of extremism because we need to give a sense that we are targeting some of the deeper problems in Greece, the injustices.
Well I've been crystal clear that we should not have schools which are set up by extremists whether they're Christian fundamentalists, Islamic fundamentalists or any other sort of outrageous and beyond the pale organization.
