> Being free of violent extremism completely is impossible. Someone will always choose violent extremism as their method of political action.

That's an assumption. Might be false. Especially given how rare violent political action is in modern societies and how common it used to be.

> Considering their demands

Nobody wants that. But we should consider causes that gave rise to the demands.

> Listening to them will not resolve their concerns and contains no teachings.

Nobody advocates for that. We should listen to them only in a way we listen to vocalisations of wolves to figure out how to keep them harmless.
