We need a culture of peace not just the absence of war, but a fully formed culture of peace, so that we can pull together as a single human family to meet our shared challenges & must talk not only of numbers, but of individual fates. When we fail to see men, women and children, but instead see larger constructs such as cultures, faiths and all the nations, we lose sight of the afflicted human beings, when we do not see the person and find only the proverbial “other”, we are an unfaithful & towards polarization, dehumanization and worse, we have been down this path before, we must stop any such descent from recurring; we see it in the efforts of the alliance of civilizations to counter extremism, with a special focus on young people.
