Core Explorations: definition of tolerance, history of Muslim religion,
freedom of religion in America and Europe, benefits of critical thinking,

This is an exploration I have been on the past several years,
like a detective, a jungle explorer, a person who found that something
just did not make sense and started asking questions.

How to Stop Terrorism? And How to Stop Bad Thinking?
I am brimming with ideas, questions, thoughts.
And I'm not the only one.
How to stop terrorism. And how to stop bad thinking?
My hope: that as many people as possible act: to think clearly, to act as fully as possible against fear, and to feel with empathy - empathy for themselves as well as others, empathy for others as well as themselves.
Actions: so many are necessary - to foil as many attempts to do violence as possible, and at least as important, to understand and undo the roots of terrorism - such as the belief systems, the emotional make-up of those who do such acts.
There is much more than I attempt to do: I think of the slaughter in Rwanda - and the outside world largely letting it happen. That also counts enormously.
I am one person. This is, from where I come from, what I came up with.
My hope is that it helps as much as possible.
How to stop terrorism? I don't have a large part of the answers. This writing, this project is part of my effort to put a stop to religious violence and to poor thinking.

"It is a fact readily acknowledged,
that for humans,
an idea is much more powerful
than a fact."
WHEN I HEARD THAT,
I HAD A EUREKA MOMENT.
YES, I HAD SEEN THAT SO OFTEN.
SOME OF US ALREADY LOVE GOOD THINKING.
BUT GOOD THINKING IS POSSIBLE

JUST LIKE EVEN A COUCH POTATO
