Explanation of Solution

Suggested response:

Radicalization is a response way beyond attempting to make change in a positive manner. It is vital to reach a person before he or she becomes radicalized. The person may want to keep his or her extreme ideas, but it is important to explain that violence is not necessary to achieve his or her goals. Consider how you have learned that this activity usually occurs when people find those with similar thoughts and they work as a group to devise a plan. Now think about how productive they could be if they put that effort toward a nonviolent action to make change. It is important that teachings such as those found in the Koran are not misinterpreted. Educating people on the idea that, as a group, they can be agents of change but that it must be done in a positive way without violence, has to occur at the very early stages of group formation.
