Isn't this social influencing, suggestive influencing and subtle brainwashing? It's been tried but has failed but the bottom line is everyone has a line which when crossed they use violence to settle their emotional issues. Once they are detached from emotional attachment from family ore friends or society values and affection ,the balance is tilted towards inflicting pain on the focus of their anger. Islamic upbringing is the best and creates the strongest bonding. It's only when Islamic upbringing is diluted or tainted that issues occur. But the presenter should be thoughtful of the fact there are times when defense of family and friends and society are reasonable. I believe the main focus of research should be how Adolf Hitler, George Bush, Narendra Modi, Tony Blair, Benjamin Netanyahu, Donald Rumsfield, Sadam Hussain etc became what they are in history and why people who had so much power prevented them from committing war crimes.

Exactly, everyone has a trigger point (red line) they don’t want people to cross its normal. Interestingly, they interview foreigners and forget their own home grown war criminals like Bush & Co.
