Secretary Kerry described this effort as the “the defining fight of our generation” and a task not just for governments but everyone, including civil society, the faith community, foundations and philanthropists, and the private sector. The Secretary urged the Summit participants to provide their ideas and suggestions on how we can counter violent extremism, and we ask you:<\/p>\n
What solutions do you think are most critical to countering violent extremism?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Personally, I think we should release all of the detainees from Guantanamo, that would cure most of the problem. We should also give weapons to everyone who tells us that they’re moderate rebels (because why would they lie to infidels?) I think that police and the lawyers can fight the war against terror better than the military – I’d rather have the legal system entrusted with our safety at home than having our military fight the extremists in their own countries. Also, we should stop arming countries like Syria and Egypt which are carrying the fight to the extremists in their backyards. Instead, we should arm moderate rebels in Syria who will eventually turn those weapons on our troops. Also, the Federal government should tell us which hash tag we can use to defeat extremism. There should be a Department of Hashtags in the President’s Cabinet.<\/p>\n
