You in particular don't have to. But we have to hope that someone running the "Struggle Against Global Extremism" or whatever it is is trying to understand them, or we will never win. You can't cure a disease without understanding it.

There's no need to understand the Klan. They're not a threat anymore. And the reason for that is that the level of understanding was raised enough to starve them of recruits.
