Stop Killing Muslims. Just stop! For starters.

Johan Galtung: Do something very practical: defensive defense can be started tomorrow. No problem about it. You need a number of parachutes for soldiers and arms, and encircle the threatened places. They haven’t done it and many of those places that have been destroyed. Instead they have increased a number of Islamic soldiers by killing. They are counting the fallen, the dead… But they are not counting the recruits they are making.

        Loin d’être d’accord avec sa thérapie, qui est foncièrement belligène, nous partageons son diagnostique. Du moins ce qui transpire dans cet extrait. Certes, plus de guerre ne resoudra rien, bien au contraire. Mais nier la complexité et l’implication de nos gouvernements dans l’escalation de l’embrasement au moyen orient ne nous menera point á des solutions éfficaces.

  1. I agree with your assessment of the situation, your perception of the problem. The remedy to the obtaining terrorism is with the West itself. Not elsewhere.

      Prof. Galtung probably means that the problem is in the relation more than in one particular actor’s attributes. The solution to the violent interaction is to transform the interests that underlie the interaction. Telling the west, that it is responsible for the escalation into a war, is not part of the solution. It is part of the diagnosis. For a solution, his peace formula would have to be tried at the macro level:

    Dette narrativet begynner å bli utdatert, Johan.
