We should answer terror with terror. [Wir sollten Terror mit Terror beantworten.]

Nein

All respondents to the German questionnaire fully disagreed with the statement. In the Turkish questionnaire, three out of five test persons do so, in the Arabic questionnaire one in four. These people justify their response by saying that terror is never a solution, but rather reinforces the cycle of violence:

• „Terror plus terror equals terror again.“ (AR13)
• „Leads to a vicious circle.“ (DE02)

Two Arabic test persons state "rather not agree". One test person explains: "Only if no other solution can be found, is that the case" (AR11). The other explains that she thinks war is bad, and that she knows war from her own experience (AR12).
Only two test subjects argued that it is difficult to talk rationally with terrorists. In these cases too, the justification fits the answer given:

• „You can't talk to people like that.“ (AR14, „medium approval“)
• „If you tried to talk to terrorists, you would hardly or not at all reach them. You can only com- municate with them through violence.“ (TR06, „rather agree“)

No changes recommended.
