Regional forum - Skopje The Achievements charting the future paths in P/CVE and RRR process. Shared experiences and results of inter-institutional and cooperation with civil society on the field of countering violent extremism. @P/CVE

Please give this a listen! We discuss a lot, including my personal journey, the psychology of terrorism, what it feels like to be radicalised to the point of violence, theological differences between terror groups, and much else.

To dismantle any one of the forms of extremism, you need to dismantle the rest in tandem. Islamists fuel the far-right and vice versa. The extreme-left fuels the far-right and vice versa.The extreme-left supports the Islamists and vice versa. All of them need to go.

The fundamentalist religious extremists who lie at the core of the evil being perpetrated by Israel against Palestinians now threaten the demise of the Israeli government. Good. How poetic and ironic. It’s an evil government, driven by evil forces and it needs to fall. Perhaps then, maybe, right-minded Israelis can reclaim power, end the evil and start the process of negotiating a two-state solution with those who have rightful claim to peaceful and hope-filled lives in Palestine - a state.

In my opinion my Britain is a tolerant Britain. I consider myself British and I am from the British culture. I love my Punjabi sikh culture, but Britain has given me a lot and I intend to do everything I can to save our country and teach my children about our marvellous nation and it’s marvellous people. Anyone can make it here you just have to work hard. I have read history and I encourage all that hate to do the same thing hate leads nowhere. We have an amazing democracy which is envied from all around the world. I agree it’s not perfect but religion should be kept well away from politics. In the video, we have a service man who served our country to uphold our universal values, and he has articulated his feelings in a most noble way. You have to make a decision now in terms of you have to embrace British values. If you don’t embrace British values, then you perhaps need to think about leaving. We need a national discussion on being British and adhering to our values in Britain. That is live and let live and respect for one another. I am sad to say that some parts of society will not subscribe to those values. If we do not address this issue now in our society, then I’m afraid that radical politics will enter into our land. We cannot have people harassed on our streets for their beliefs. We cannot have a majority bullying the minority. You cannot blame a race of people for the governments actions. What about Tony Blair and Iraq? Many have chosen to forget this. Some people may choose to live in a war torn country with a dictatorship. I do not want to import that ideology over to our country and those who seek to enforce it upon us will fail. The fire of extremism needs to be extinguished by us all collectively and believe me many people from all faiths share my views.
