Don’t colour Islam as a religion of hate. The strength to protect pluralism and peace must come from within. The factories of jehadi hate are madrassas. Another problem is the complete lack of liberal values in our schools in the name of a sham called secularism that helps fossilised ideas to take roots in young minds. Control madrassa education and make it relevant to our times. Yes, the Quran and the Hadith can’t be changed, but there can be liberal leaders who reinterpret them to expose dark forces like ISIS and the Taliban as the worst enemies of the Muslims and show the world that real Islam means peace and togetherness.
