Q: Why is military intervention considered an ineffective solution to radicalism?

Military force generates further conflict rather than resolving it, often resulting in widespread casualties and destruction. Historical outcomes in various regions demonstrate that such interventions fail to eliminate terror groups and often exacerbate local suffering.

Q: How can the intellectual struggle effectively combat extremism?

The struggle involves using education, books, websites, and media to present powerful evidences from the Qur'an and religious traditions that denounce terrorism. By distinguishing true belief from the false interpretations taught by radical imams, people can be convinced that violence is contrary to faith.

Q: What is the common foundation among the three divine religions?

Judaism, Christianity, and Islam all share fundamental values such as compassion, mercy, love, tolerance, and justice. They hold the shared belief that saving one human life is equivalent to saving all of humanity, providing a basis for a peaceful alliance.

Q: What role does media and technology play in promoting peace?

Media and internet platforms are powerful tools for disseminating information and reaching wide audiences with messages of peace. They facilitate the intellectual struggle by providing educational materials and countering false narratives that fuel radicalization.
