I read this and realized it is still a good idea 10 years later. Basically, if you empower women by educating them and giving them micro loans they will tend to educate their children not to kill. They will also start businesses and take better care of their children than the men would by themselves. So, you change the dynamic and you end terrorism. Through microloans to women you empower them and the next generations not to be terrorists.
Begin quote from a site of mine that no longer exists and hasn't since the end of 2007.
Epiphany
May 10th 2007
I
just realized a way to end Islamic terrorism. It might take 20 to 50
years but I have no doubt it could be successful. If you look at the
problem it is caused by 12th century tribal patriarchal thought. In
other words men want to be able to abuse women in all the traditional
ways i.e. keep them pregnant without their permission, take all their
money and spend it without their permission. If they complain beat them
up or kill them and then tell people they went somewhere else. In other
words life as usual in tribal life for thousands of years in patriarchy.
So the long term solution is equally interesting. Educate these women.
when they grow up and have families give them micro-banking loans to
start businesses. In other words empower women in terrorist countries
with education and then business loans. When women are empowered in this
way it will begin the end of terrorism because they will begin to teach
their children both boys and girls to become empowered with an
education and then to start their own businesses. Within 100 years 90%
of all terrorism would end.
Chaos is the friend to Islamic terrorism. The education and empowerment of women ends terrorism permanently.
