Think Peace: Create a Counter-Narrative Movement
Reader comment on item: The Missed Signal on American Muslim Radicalization

Military containment and humanitarian efforts are not enough in the Muslim world to promote peace. The third wave of peacemaking must include the power of "counter narratives" that challenge world-views, bias and fear. It's vital that new media (Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, blogging, literature and short films) fill the gap and create a counter narrative movement that communicates across all political and religious lines in ways that inspire peace.

Think Peace,
