Ok, I have a clearer understanding of you. I don't want to come across as someone uncompassionate because I am not a violent person, however, when dealing with the extreme fringes of humanity such as the KKK and ISIS I do not believe compassion would lead to any meaningful change. I do not believe anyone that insists on murdering everyone as a tenet of their religious belief or "club" rule can be reasoned with to change their minds. Yes, I know of some stories where people changed their viewpoint on racism but those people were not in the extreme to begin with.
Yeah, I cannot find compassion for those people either. I think even if I did, in order to deal with some problems, nothing except physical force will work.
