Imo, if one wants change, one has to look at the past at how a behaviour becoming a nuisance to humanity damaging societies/people unfolded...which are the key aspects that has to be changed. Mostly extremism gets born out of fear, anxieties, insecurity of livelyhood, oppression by power systems which leads to anger, hate, violence and counter movements.
If religions are involved, the ground principles of the religion get changed into more aggressive principles by those having a say in it (e.g. religious leaders) resulting in changing meanings/ interpretations of original religious scripts followed by implementing those principles by force, terror and mind/opinion-manipulation (own power plays).
So, first of all educate yourself about "how did Islamic extremism start?"
Although one can't undo the past, one can learn from it and try to find ways of change. The biggest problem is humankind itself, especially those among it who want/have political & financial power.
Neither the responsable forces in USA nor in Israel are interested in humanity-goals, btw, and they aren't the only nations which are ruled by selfish power-systems.
And media/social media have become a tool to further the interests of these selfish power systems.
I completely agree with you.
World politics isn’t something that we can just sit here and comment on.
It has very many dynamics at play and from a very long time.
Why the world has come to what it has, it has a lot of backstory to it.
