Decommissioning Terror 5
In this fifth and last item in the series of DoubleQuotes on decommissioning terror, I'm returning to the recent news item which triggered my interest in developing the series -- recounting the Yemeni judge's apparently successful approach to "turning" terrorists by means of theological dialogue.
Dialogue is a term that can have many meanings, but the distinguished British physicist David Bohm spent a considerable amount of his time and understanding formulating the rules and practices of a type of dialogue which would, to the extent possieble, avoid some of the pitfalls of human communications, and enable understanding across those chasms of differing assumptions which so often plague us.
What interests me here is the degree to which Judge Hitar's method correlates with that of Bohm.
I would be very interested to learn more of Judge Hitar's methods, and perhaps even to attempt a mapping of the theological debate as he deploys it.
