probably the best way of breaking out of this vicious cycle is to prevent the media from reporting on terrorist attacks as the goal of these attacks was always attention
Any parent would be pissed off at a teacher showing hateful imagery to their kids classmates.
Exactly, and that's what happened with the parents in this case - they were mad and complained publicly, just like any regular annoying parent - that's all they did. But that drew enough attention of some misfit fundie immigrant who saw it as the last straw to feeling ostracized by French society.
The misfit fundie is the bigger asshole. But misfit fundies exist. The long-term solution is resolving issues in places like Chechnya so that people don't become refugees, overthrowing the Saudis so they stop spreading Wahhabism, ending anti-Muslim discrimination in France, creating better economic and social conditions for all, etc. In the mean time - don't go out of your way to antagonize the misfit fundies. Quit looking for a fight.
This isn't the KKK lynching a Black guy. This isn't an ISIS wannabe shooting up a synagogue. This is the French waving torches in front of a powder keg and then complaining they got burnt.
Pissed off is one thing. Any parent would be pissed off at a teacher showing hateful imagery to their kids classmates.
But murderous? That’s fucked up.
Then again people snap.
And the French are being frighteningly awful in their response.
