I was wondering what you all thought about this question.

Is it possible that with many forms of hate like terrorism and homophobic violence that we are not paying enough attention to the core reasons that these things exsist in society?

I know some of you will be dismissive and say 'they are just messed up'. While the resons are probably quite complex on both those subjects, to win the fight against hate in the long run seems to me that we also need to deal with the source.

I am no expert, but just like with drugs, treatment seems to be something we don't consider as a society, we just lock them up. The "War on drugs" is the most failed policy so far in that way.

Signed,
