Dear President,
Religious extremism is fueled by convoluted philosophical views; it can and must be UNRAVELED by a subtle “philosophical” and soulful counter measure.
America is an epitome of democracy not as a cliche but for its plurality and ideas of religious tolerance. Religion in any form is good. And a soulful trust of common good is stronger than individual self obsessed ideas. Our handling of fundamentalism should reflect that.
Everywhere in the world few extremists hijack emotions and flare issues. Inadvertently we glorify them with "terrorists" where we should call them "the convoluted" or such.
We should shine our noble view of religion, that it is fundamentally peaceful. Any person using it for any tiny inch of violence should grouped as bare "convoluted".
