I rubbed out the word “war”,
I got my sky blue crayon and I wrote “peace” with it.

The worst outcome of Paris attacks would be the growing anti-Islam/ anti-Muslims/ anti-migrants/anti-asylums movement. A safer world does not entail fostering a stronger sense of hatred for each other. Not all claims are to be taken as true. There is a fair distinction between reality and falsehood. Of course, extreme acts that are claimed to be under a religion are not necessarily supported by all believers of that religion. We should not build a path that does not lead to a free and safe ending. Terrorists should be isolated in order to be deprived from success. Using knowledge, respect and tolerance, instead of blind extremist nationalism and hatred, we can find a solution together.
