Abstract
Prevention of extremism is not
something we will achieve overnight, in a
year or within an election cycle. If we are
to prevent people from being persuaded
by extremist ideology, we must match
the commitment that jihadis have
shown to their cause. We have to build a
strategy that reaches across generations.
We must develop within young people
the understanding, skills and support to
resist and rebut extremism. We have to
build citizenship based on the values that
challenge the mind-set of the extremists,
such as the rule of law, justice, openmindedness,
respect for diversity,
equality of genders and basic human
rights.
