Not having read the book, I'd answer it this way:
The way I see it, terrorism is more of an ideological problem... I think, it will persist irrespective of education and amenities.
Well-educated people can be indoctrinated, and it is practically impossible to raise the standard of life in backward regions to the same level as the developed world (where terrorism, in its current stereotype of suicide bombers, etc. is not visible). And, actually it all depends on what is classed as terrorism. There are fundamentalists and hard-liners in every society...

We often hear that terrorists are made because of disparities meted out to them by society/destiny/whatever... If this is true, then terrorism can never be completely eradicated. I think, disparity is the nature of human existence. There will always be winners and losers; there will always be people in every rank and scale who have been wronged and are vulnerable to violent ideologies.

So, what needs to be done is for education to adopt an ideological dimension. Killing the virtuous/sinners should be thoroughly discouraged, especially as an act of retribution or for political statements. Education is a suitable way of achieving it, but teaching children how to read, write or count probably doesn't sensitise them to the benefits of peace.
And, then again, on the other hand... if children are taught the doctrine of non-violence, this might be considered propaganda; and we'll again be wondering whether that is ethical or not... (It'll be the opposite of Krishna telling Arjun to fight...)

I have heard this debate many times before. My two history teachers always discuss whether or not terrorism is a political problem rather than a education one. One teacher believes that ignorance leads to these ideas about how violence will solve everything while my other teacher believes that the people who choose to be terrorists get an education so they can accomplish their goals better.

I personally feel that it's a problem of ignorance. I think people who are uneducated get brainwashed by others, thus end up feeling a strong emotion towards the subject and want to do what's "right" as their leader says.

Hmm sorry if my answer is confusing 😕

Terrorism can be partially solved through a better education and amenities. I agree, but it can't be fully solved. It's a problem that can't be solved.

Most terrorists are depressed people who want to kill themselves and everyone else and so they do these violent acts and sometimes end up dying themselves. They don't care about their life. If they were educated they would probably understand that it would be pointless to kill others and themselves for no reason and that life is valuable. If they had better lives and better amenities they wouldn't think of doing all these acts:)

Like I said I can't understand terrorism at all. It's illogical to me.

Axeion ji I like him as much as u like him..... I was just being diplomatic when u told about him.

Wow, y do I always stumble upon people who happen to be a relative or friend of Allu Arjun family! ... Last time I met a guy from Hyd in some convention and while talking he asked me whether I liked Arjun's movie Arya... I said that Arjun is a pathetic actor and bla bla bla... none of the comments were good. He gave an evil look and said that he was a close friend of Arjun's elder brother... 😕. Axeion ji I was just trying to be diplomatic when u spoke about him. I agree he is a good dancer but that's just it.... I wouldn't have bothered to watch that movie if u had not misguided me 😡

And stumbling upon his relatives 😆 we can't help it...for one it's all very complicated and he is not the only one I am related to..there are many more in the industry it's a bad influence for the younger kids in the family, u see😉

I told u that the movie was funny, but u din't listen to me..I even told u tell me if u liked it or not, and based on that i'll tell u... I gave u ample hints to stop u from going for the movie, but u had already said u will be watching it...So I was like, well, OK

Ok I am going to post the First question relevant to our Book.

From what I have heard..Three Cups of Teas is required reading for anyone visiting the AF-PAK region.
Doesn't that give in to the assumption that terrorism is a socio-economic problem rather than a political one and can be solved by better education and amenities.
Doesn't Bin laden and his ideology blow a hole through that theory..

I think terrorism is affected by social, economic, political and Environmental issues. Terrorists need manpower to spread their terror and the people under poverty line are likely the easy targets to influence and manipulate. In countries Afghanistan the governments are very unstable and weak, so the situation is favorable for the rise of terrorism. Mountain ranges provide a perfect cover along with the weather conditions and also being elusive and land-locked. So even the geographic factors also provide a platform for the terrorism activities, like camping and weapon handling classes.

We have white collared people as much involved as blue collared people in spreading terror. So I feel that terrorism is not caused just by poverty, but also having superiority/inferiority complex, hatred and the feeling of being ignored. When they take arms in their hands, they sense the power it gives them and think they have no other option to fight the inequality other than terrorizing the nation. They think that their voice has to reach us, unaware of the fact that the forces that gave them arms are manipulating them and driving them with other ulterior motives.

Education alone cannot solve the problem, teaching us how to empathize with other human beings and also educating us how to respect other cultures. This does not apply only to people terror prone areas but everyone. So I feel, working on erasing ignorance from minds is the first step to attack terrorism.
