There are many ways to go about it but keep in mind that Education and Poverty have been a problem long before terrorism ever was. Eradicating terrorism will not reduce poverty or educate people automatically - on the other hand, decreasing poverty and educating people will automatically reduce terrorism too.Education and Poverty can ONLY be tackled if the ideology that breeds terror is eliminated on a state and institutional level.
That is not to say that we shouldn't focus on terrorism at all, we can implement a comprehensive framework for fighting terrorism while combating poverty and increasing education - we just need to get our sh!t and ourselves together.
People talking about finishing maddrassas are being the same thing they want to stop - extremists. Madrassas, first of all, are places for education, like schools. There is nothing wrong with them except that they're unregulated If you regulate maddrassas, you regulate the education they provide and thus turn them into a valuable and reasonably effective source of education.After all, we continue to blame the Madressa without acknowledging its very nature(and potential) as a free source of education.
Secondly, religious education is required too. If people know what Islam says, they won't be radicalized - instead, they'll be able to combat the radicals who twist it.
Agreed. Now how will we combat this cancerous ''interpretation''? No better way than through education.But if you keep hoping for free schools and jobs without looking into the idea of speaking out against a cancerous interpretation of the scripture, you'll end up with an ISIS like situation where your mid level executive operates their bank accounts whilst taking his family to KFC in the evening.
