Violent extremism is going viral, but our response to it is moving at bureaucratic, sluggish speed.
Extremism thrives amid ignorance and anger, intimidation and cowardice.
It's not mere extremism that makes folks at the fringes so troubling; it's extremism wedded to false beliefs. Humans have long been dupes, easily gulled by rumors and flat-out lies.
