How to counter religious extremism
The government must pay monthly salary to the Imams of mosques and Priests from Mandirs and Churches, just like schoolteachers. The Imams and the Priests must speak every week against all sorts of extremism. In madrassahs and schools, the teachers must teach the children tolerance and speak against religious extremism. To implement these make a new law. No political activities in schools/madrassahs (any student/teacher who does politics in the school will be expelled from it).
Offer amnesty to the people who are involved in such acts and give them life security and practical training and jobs to survive.
Make a deal with our neighbouring countries that they do not interfere in our internal affairs. They should not support/ shelter/ hide any terrorist/ extremist/culprits from other neighbouring countries. If any neighbour does this, file a case in the International
Court of Justice and bring it to international attention.
Take an example like Europe. They never interfere in the internal affairs of their neighbours and they live peacefully side by side. Make a law with death penalty and confiscation of property for the people who instigate /incite /support any type of religious extremism.
Make a law with death penalty and confiscation of property for the people who shelter or provide help to the extremists. Make a law with death penalty and confiscation of property for the people who produce/hold/supply bomb making materials.
Hold regular regional seminars and training programmes for the Imams and Priests on democracy, international knowledge, religious tolerance, humanity, human rights and social problems in the family and community.
Reward people who help to catch religious extremists. Make massive advertisements on TV, radio and all newspapers regarding this.
