The concept of peaceful resolution takes much more time and strength of character. People, in general, prefer the easy way out. It's easy to feel like you're fighting an uphill battle because the REST of the world wants to kill each other, but you're not alone. Frankly, most people want to resolve things peacefully, but they would rather allow a loud minorty control what happens than speak up.
Peace works, but it takes time and sacrifice. India gained it's independance from British rule by entirely peaceful means, but they probably could have done it decades sooner if they fought back against the soldiers that were beating them, hosing them down, and shooting them. Unarmed people only wanting freedom, and the soldiers felt the need to defend themselves with deadly force.
You need to educate, and that's all you can do. Force people into candid discussion about the issue, and you'll find that most people agree with you, but have allowed themselves to be taught that it doesn't work.

The first idea is based in logic.
The second is a form of mental illness.
It can change for you, if you finally understand this beyound any shadow of a doubt.
I suggest a book called the course in miracles.
It explains these ideas to you so well that the mentally ill people will never be able to shoot you down again. So well in fact that you will need to be careful how you treat then and their crazy ideas, so you don't end up looking like a bully your self.
Love and blessings

I think Peace is what we all pray for but if there are bullies out there we should defend the weak.

To those who are of this world, all sin is normal and all that is from God is strange and foreign.

I don't know Religion should be exposed for its hypocrisy and untruth wherever it is, and at every opportunity
