For example, in response to attacks last year on a church in Peshawar, Pakistan, local Muslims formed human chains around churches, allowing them to hold services. Such visible demonstrations of defiance in the face of violence strengthen ties between communities and can prevent the division that extremists try to generate.
最坏情况下往往会自发地开展上述长期持续性工作。比方说，为了应对去年在巴基斯坦白沙瓦发生的教堂袭击，当地穆斯林在教堂周围排起人墙，让教堂能够正常提供服务。面对暴力活动的这类显而易见的反抗行动强化了团体之间的联系，同时能够挫败极端分子的分裂企图。
