UN chief: Fight extremism with education, social media
Associated Press ^ | Jul 1, 2016 7:30 PM EDT | Dave Bryan

The nature of terrorism, including the increased radicalization of individuals through social media, has changed over the last decade and violent extremism can only be eradicated by including preventive measures, the United Nations chief said in a report to the 193-member General Assembly.

Ban Ki-moon’s study calls on member states to employ conflict resolution, empower youth, develop educational opportunities and embrace human rights in the battle against terrorism. The report is part of the General Assembly’s two-year review that ends Friday of the U.N.’s 10-year-old global counter-terrorism strategy.

“We need to pay more attention to why individuals are attracted to violent extremist groups,” Ban wrote. …

Translation: spend a lot of money on useless government programs and get worthless results.

Whenever liberals can't find any real solutions to a problem, they fall back on "education." As though teaching some camel-plugging desert rat the ABCs is going to stop him from blowing people up.

The savages aren't stupid or ignorant. They're EVIL. You can't "educate" them out of that.

I think Ban Ki-moon should trot his globalist ass back to the Korean peninsula where he came from, and seek an audience with Kim Jong Un, and tell HIM about how he needs to ‘embrace human rights’ (without smothering them and killing them).

Let us know how that works out for ya, ok Banki?

"De-Nazification" worked in Germany at the end of WW II.

We are way past time to "De-moslemize" the entire world.

The UN says we need "conflict resolution, empower youth, develop educational opportunities and embrace human rights" to get them to stop murdering people by the tens of thousands.

I'm shocked the UN authors didn't suggest drum circles, crystals, cosmic convergence and joining hands to sing:

I'd like to teach the world to sing
In perfect harmony
I'd like to hold it in my arms
And keep it company

No; denazification only occurred for two years under US efforts, and then the US government told Germany to denazify itself; they declared it “over” three years afterwards. Adenauer was urged several times to restart the process, but refused.

There is a reason the EU was set up the way it was, take note. Adenauer and many others saw it as the potential to set up a “third power” between the USA and USSR.

The future must not belong to those who deny the true nature of Islam

John Quincy Adams on Islam

In the seventh century of the Christian era, a wandering Arab of the lineage of Hagar, the Egyptian, combining the powers of transcendent genius, with the preternatural energy of a fanatic, and the fraudulent spirit of an impostor, proclaimed himself as a messenger from Heaven, and spread desolation and delusion over an extensive portion of the earth. Adopting from the sublime conception of the Mosaic law, the doctrine of one omnipotent God; he connected indissolubly with it, the audacious falsehood, that he was himself his prophet and apostle. Adopting from the new Revelation of Jesus, the faith and hope of immortal life, and of future retribution, he humbled it to the dust, by adapting all the rewards and sanctions of his religion to the gratification of the sexual passion. He poisoned the sources of human felicity at the fountain, by degrading the condition of the female sex, and the allowance of polygamy; and he declared undistinguishing and exterminating war, as a part of his religion, against all the rest of mankind. THE ESSENCE OF HIS DOCTRINE WAS VIOLENCE AND LUST: TO EXALT THE BRUTAL OVER THE SPIRITUAL PART OF HUMAN NATURE.

Between these two religions, thus contrasted in their characters, a war of twelve hundred years has already raged. That war is yet flagrant; nor can it cease but by the extinction of that imposture, which has been permitted by Providence to prolong the degeneracy of man. While the merciless and dissolute dogmas of the false prophet shall furnish motives to human action, there can never be peace upon earth, and good will towards men. The hand of Ishmael will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him. It is, indeed, amongst the mysterious dealings of God, that this delusion should have been suffered for so many ages, and during so many generations of human kind, to prevail over the doctrines of the meek and peaceful and benevolent Jesus (Blunt, 1830, 29:269, capitals in orig.).

I’m more in favor of ending Islamic terrorism/extremism by turning the ground to black f***ing glass in countries that support it-that would be far more effective than education-and filming it to show on social media would certainly be an education for any surviving terrorists...

WHAT? But wasn't our ferocious battle against Global Warming supposed to win the day?

Can we at least give Sweden's solution a chance? ("DO NOT MOLEST ME!" bracelets.)

UN Chief:

“We need to pay more attention to why individuals are attracted to violent extremist groups.”

The official shills for planetary suicide still won't publicly acknowledge the rampaging elephant in the hut.
