“One thing that I noticed is having met some former Taliban is even they, as children, grew up being indoctrinated. They grew up in violence. They grew up in war. They were taught to hate. They were, they grew up in very ignorant cultures where they didn't learn about the outside world.” WorldChildrenWarHateCultureViolenceOne ThingTaughtGrewMetsGrew UpIgnorantFormerTalibanOutside World Author:Greg Mortenson
“One thing, however, is sure: unless Christians fulfill their prophetic role, unless they become the advocates and defenders of the truly poor, witness to their misery, then, infallibly, violence will suddenly break out. In one way or another 'their blood cries to heaven,' and violence will seem the only way out. It will be too late to try to calm them and create harmony.” WayTryingSeemsChristianHeavenPoorRolesBreakViolenceOne ThingBloodCryLateHarmonyMiseryCalmWitnessOne WayToo LateDefendersBreak OutProphetic Author:Jacques Ellul

“There are times when I wouldn't rule violence out. I personally don't like violence at all. But it wasn't until we had the Trafalgar Square riots that the Poll Tax went out in Britain. When people take to the streets and fight the police, it's the one thing the government can't control. You can march round in circles for the rest of your life and they can ignore it, but once you start damaging property and fighting with the police, they can't. Even though they tar you with a brush and say you're a set of bastards, they have to actually tone down what they are doing.” PeopleGovernmentFightingViolenceOne ThingStreetsTaxesPolicePropertyRoundsCirclesToneBritainMarchSquaresBrushesPollsRest Of Your LifeRiot Author:Alice Nutter
“One of the unspoken themes that I'm grappling with in Day of Honey is the relationship between violence and cosmopolitanism. It's one thing to comprehend violence as an outgrowth of ignorance, poverty, and backwardness. It's another matter entirely to confront incredible atrocities in a country with a rich civic and intellectual life.” CountryMatterPovertyRichViolenceOne ThingIgnoranceIntellectualIncrediblesThemeHoneyCivicsAtrocitiesUnspokenGrapplingIntellectual LifeCosmopolitanism Author:Annia Ciezadlo
