I mean engagement politically/culturally/economically/socially/idealogically. I mean listening to Them, not automatically dismissing their complaints. I mean not demonizing them, not treating them as if they were two-legged devils disguised as humans (which is the way most Americans think of terrorists).


Thanks for the clarifaction, I thought I was confused.

The problem is that a large number of them hate you. Hate the fact of you. Hate is not the same as anger. Hate is a committment to destroy. You cannot engage the way you suggest with hate.

Although, as an overall direction, your approach is the correct one. However, if all you offer is carrot, the people who hate you will take your carrot and then try to kill you.
