A homework assignment, asking kids to write a response to the
point of view that 'all terrorists should be forgiven', has caused
an uprising by their parents and social media! Indeed, the first
reaction is to be appalled at the very idea of forgiveness in
light of the countless terror attacks that have been causing
death, destruction and despair worldwide.
But, is the answer so black and white? There are instances of
people becoming vulnerable to terrorists’ influence because of
traumatic personal experiences they’ve had-does this justify
forgiveness? Can we forgive them if they’ve only donated a little
money to a terrorist cause, but not if they actually hurt someone?
Dr. Carole delves into these gray areas by comparing a lovelorn
beauty queen who supported her terrorist love interest by
sending him money over the internet with the London Bridge
terrorist who pretended to be de-radicalized until he went on a
lethal attack.
