Regular people need to stop making excuses for the radicals on 'their side'.

Contain and challenge the crazies. Don't give them a pass because it may seem temporarily expedient.

Different perspectives create different opinions, and that’s okay. Focus on discussion and enlightenment not attacking and discrediting.
