The ‘4M Way’ to Promoting Alternative Narratives to Violent Islamist Extremism in Muslim Mindanao
This Insight attempts to suggest one such counter-ideological approach: what can be termed a ‘4M Way’ to employ Alternative Narratives against violent extremist ideology. The basic thrust of the ‘4M Way’ would be to gradually steer vulnerable constituencies of Mindanao Muslims—the Bangsamoro—away from ‘rigid and fixed’ violent Islamist extremism toward ‘flexible and tolerant’ Islamic values and beliefs that are both theologically authentic and compatible with the lived realities of the Bangsamoro.
