Groups can be dangerous when their leader spreads a strong message of hate against any segment of society.

Thats certainly the truth. How about non-organised groups tho, crowds of people, or even societies as a whole?

Unorganized groups can be dangerous too. In NYC. people fellow each other across the street when the light is red. People think on a subliminal level the numbers of people make it safe. It creates chaos for the pedestrian and drivers.
The question is how do we help people do what is right?

I dont think all groups are stupid and dangerous. It depends on what their thinking is and their cause. Some though certainly are as we have seen in the past.
