Even if we keep this to the scope of a few decades. There is likely no way to just stop the cycle without a significant event causing a catalyst which could serve to either wipe out one side or the other, or mend the rift.
What could mend it? i mean we are talking about people who believe in Harry Potter stories so much they die for it. On both sides. Do they really deserve the right to decide what is best for all the rest of us, who do not need Star Wars type stories to know it is wrong to rape or kill?
Where we are at now is a place where it is time to choose a side. Then after that side has won, declare war on that ideology and get rid of it as well.
The best thing we could possibly do is bar any form of media in the war zone over there. Left to their own devices i am pretty sure the generals in charge could clean it up and quite possibly without wiping out everyone. They would do what is necessary to keep people in line. The Romans did a fine job for a long time. When they fell we get what we have now.
I just do not understand how any rational thinking person so willingly sticks up for people who think that Lord of the Rings is real, and preys to Gandalf, or invisible sky people.
They should be evaluated for mental deficiency.

you hit the point exactly - and i do not say "i have a solution" - i only say that this what they do now has been done for centuries and made it worth.
i also know that any kind of solution will take a long time. maybe not even our grandchildren will have resolved it.
but to choose between a "long way" and "no way" is quite easy, isnīt it?
education does not fall from the sky. I also donīt know if the possibility of worldwide communication is a curse or a blessing for mankind because it opens the doors for the truth and for the lies.
everyone who say he have the solution in his hand is an idiot and proves himself as undereducated. even the smartest person in the world canīt tell you what is right - but for shure he can see what goes wrong.
