While terrorism can cause distress to the society, it also will destroy the terrorists themselves.

As most of the terrorist groups are victims of the society or the government, a general amnesty can help them get back to their normal lives. Finding the root cause of terrorism in particular region and eliminating the sorrows of the community will help in fighting terrorism with out force. A guarantee for the lives of terrorists and their livelihood will encourage them to lay down arms.
Correcting flaws and amending laws
While the world has been changing in every aspect, most of the governments still follow the outdated laws, inconsistent policies, inefficient methods of delivering justice to the oppressed, and so on. This is what angers the depressed souls and encourages them to find their own way of obtaining justice through violence. All the flaws in the system should be given due attention and corrected immediately and the law should be amended to suit the current trends of the society.
Education
Educating people that terrorism is the worst means of getting the public attention toward issues. Teaching patriotic and peaceful co-existence right at the school level will pattern the mindsets of young ones from averting terrorism in the latter years. Educating people of their rights in society and the means of obtaining them through legal means in the even of deprivation will help in eliminating terrorism. As all religions preach peaceful co-existence of human beings, encouraging religious leaders to educate the true principles of religion would also help in eliminating terrorism.
