A Success Story: The Way Back From Extremism
Abstract
Within the animosity and brutality of extremist’s activities, several success stories of change and reconciliation are being enclosed. In this paper, we focus on the needs of the extremist targets and the gaps that may be filled out by adopting an extremist view. From here, one can notice that extremist groups might emerge either from weak, marginalized groups or from powerful and dominating groups. In either ways, extremism was based on creating a false image of the other and then attacking it. From this point, several leaders made the step of change and chose to move the way back toward reconciliation. Success stories are described in this paper and the reasons behind this decision. Finally, change is a journey of life; it requires motivation tools from exterior stimuli and faith from within the individual.
