While intelligence services and police forces must be engaged to prevent attacks, devising an effective strategy to counteract extremist movements requires, first and foremost, understanding what drives them. Western countries must go beyond defending freedom of speech and improving police coordination to develop lasting solutions that address adherents’ economic and social marginalization, while avoiding cultural confrontation and reliance on repression alone.
虽然情报部门和警察部队必须出力防止袭击，但制定有效策略对抗极端主义首先要理解背后的驱动力量。西方国家必须在捍卫言论自由及加强警方协调以外制定长期方案化解恐怖追随者的经济和社会边缘化，同时避免文化冲突和单纯依靠镇压。
