The head of the Department of Christian Religious Sciences at the University of Rojava, Hanna Somi said that the possible solutions to reduce the phenomenon of hate speech in society are to change the religious curriculum and replace it with an ethical class, to rehabilitate the preaching people who preach here and there with dark ideas in the pulpits, and to establish media channels for all religions and sects to combat exclusionary penitential thought and to convey ideas of love and peace to all peoples.
A speech came during the third dialogue session held by Ezdina Organization, yesterday, Thursday, entitled "Discussing hate speech and combating extremism", within the "Hope" project, in the presence of Muslim, Christian and Yazidi clerics, and representatives of religious institutions, at Ezdina's office in the city Qamishlo/Qamishli.
Somi explained that a generation must be built that is not contaminated with dark ideas, one that believes in humanity and accepts a different other.
Somi added that many dialogue sessions and seminars must be held to spread the positive and correct ideas and convey them to the largest possible number of members of society and support spiritual Islam that does not accept killing and its concept of love and spreading peace to keep the region safe.
