[quote]>> would it be more fruitful to punish the perpetrators right away, or to strike at the roots of everything and anything that gives them their evil powers, or to find an amalgam of the two?

In my opinion somethings are clearly condemnable. Honor Killing, child abuse, acid spiling are on the top. Any maulvi or anyone else for that matter indulging in it, must be punsihed severely. These things do not require education to know that they are wrong.

Other than that to curb bigotry, that is what I hope to do here as do most folks associated with Renaissance. The approach here, in my opinion, would be through education and critical evaluation. [You already know this :)

I suppose then an amalgam of the two approaches depending on the issue at hand.

PS: The government has banned Jihadi recruitment offices, a step in the right direction. They might want to consider outlawing preaching that incites violence as well against any faction, or religion.

No one should be allowed to tap at doors to listen to their religious spiels. We have had enough of those.
