Convincing jihadists of alternative values would be a long process, he admits. But "I have seen groups of mujahedeens" transformed from fighters to community helpers. If that conversion works in physical space, he says, "I do not see any reasons why we cannot do that in cyberspace."
Perhaps if we could just get all the jehadis into a small room -- get them to sit down, and hold hands, and learn the words to Kumbaya, it just might happen.

The internet might help, but lets call a spade a spade. The "Religion of Peace" is and has been the ideal recruiting tool for over a generation.
Me too...it's usually called fertilizer.
What evil can be taught and learned online can also be counter-acted by the good and virtuous offerings of others.
Those that pursue evil do so because of their own reasons; we can't hold their hands and show them what is right. But we must ensure that the right thing to do is forever available to these sociopathic terrorist wannabees.
The way to counter-act an idea is with another idea.
