Remember 9/11: Resolve to Remove Underlying Motives for Violence/Terrorism

Remember 9/11 with resolve to remove the underlying motivations for violence/terrorism:

"Remember, we are dealing with human beings, and as Gandhi says, "No one throws his life away without a motive behind." -- take away the motive and you take away the violence.

So, why do people join groups like the KKK or ISIS?

Former Captain in the US Army, Paul K. Chappell, says, "Extremist groups . . . offer to feed our human craving for purpose, meaning, belonging, and self-worth."

We can provide for these needs through peaceful, nonviolent organizations and social networks.

People who join extremist groups are often feeling outraged, humiliated, and powerless. They have a raging need to have their grievances addressed.

And, as JFK said, "Those who make nonviolent revolution impossible make violent revolution inevitable."
