A "few" rotten apples

In today's discussion I rambled a bit. The basis of the ramble is the following thought experiment - If you have a basket of 100 apples and I tell you 5 of them will explode if touched, how can you live with this basket in your house?

The fact is no one will live in a house where there is even this small percent of imminent danger.

Post revolution, these people go back to the shadows.

Armin's poignant response highlighted that adherence to Islamic way of life will be seen as taboo, hypothetically asking out loud "Still, after all this, you still act this way?" (Thinking of seeing a woman wearing hijab in post revolution Iran). Armin adds that security will be tight and there will be monitoring in place etc.

Still though. These people won't be gone, their ideology may be emboldened. As Armin hinted, they claim some sort of armageddon event as part of their prophecy (Seems odd to even put in writing) so it's possible their belief will be emboldened by the fall of the regime. Another point by Armin was that the regime isn't extreme enough for the extra extremists (Read: The geniuses).

One major cause to having these people around is having smart people who know death is finite convince idiots that 'after death' given certain 'achievements' they will be 'rewarded'. It's possible these people played too many arcade games where you get a score of how well you did when after the "Game over" screen.

Another option is that these people and their rotten view of the world will migrate from Iran to their new home in the UK, or wherever else that is yet unmarred by the long term effects of Islam on society.

And, as if to prove my point, Armin analyzes a chant for hardcore believers in the joint stream with Goldie

Armin addresses the connection of the lyrics to the Quran. Armin also noted that this is an old video since the mention of the 'Crescent' of power included Syria which has theoretically fallen (Excuse me for not joining the bandwagon of "This new guy from ISIS is gonna be better").

Fact remains. The room is FULL of idiots chanting the monotone chant in what Goldie hinted seems like a gay savage nightclub. Full. Not a couple weirdos. Not AI-enhanced crowd. There are too many of these people. Even if I ascribe to some of them the benefit of the doubt that they come from nothing, have nothing to lose, were brainwashed, these are still unexploded grenades out there waiting for an opportune moment.

This might be a broader topic than something that can be discussed in a general Q&A. So I pose this hypothetical in general -

How to make sure the basket of apples is safe once again? How to reduce these 5% to an absolute 0? What set of circumstances is required in order to ensure no one is stupid enough to believe they require to die while taking out as many as they can with them? Is this a fool's hope?

Thanks in advance for a discussion and thanks to Armin for the Q&As.
