I liked this comment on Reddit which I think is relevant in a discussion about combatting this form of terrorism: "The problem is that we have forgotten the power of ideology and the way that you cultivate civilized discourse and expectations. In the Western world, we've spent the last 40 years shitting all over the best weapons we have to address ideology: philosophy, literature, poetry, art, music and religious discourse. We've marginalized the way to talk about the abstract elements of human experience, and now we find that we have nothing to say."
