What could possibly go wrong? Oh, yeah. Jihadists go through the motions and resume the jihad. That's all. "Indonesia tries rehabilitation to wipe out extremism," by Anuj Chopra for The National, January 30:
JAKARTA // Imagine, for a moment, a possible headline in the future: "Osama bin Laden denounces terrorism and renounces jihad."
What are the odds? Is it even possible to wean an extremist like bin Laden off his violent ideology? The likelihood is hard to envisage.
But the Obama administration is keen to attempt something very close to that. This week, it agreed to give US$11 million (Dh40m) to Yemen to build a militant rehabilitation centre in the Arab state within the next three months for released Guantanamo Bay detainees.
The centre would treat terrorists in much the same way as drug addicts: seeing Islamic radicalism as an anomalous behavioural pattern and treating it with a mix of psychotherapy, counselling and religious re-education, coupled with economic incentives to slowly steer them back into society.
This move, analysts say, underscores the realisation that punitive detention or torture in a dank prison does not necessarily reform extremists. Some militants continue to espouse a virulent hatred for the West even after serving time in prison. Killing them can be counterproductive - many of them seek martyrdom.
The future of fighting extremism around the world may lie in terrorism rehabilitation.
Or not:
[...] Rehabilitation counsellors say it is almost impossible to alter the mindset and entirely expunge the spirit of jihad....
"The future of fighting extremism around the world may lie in terrorism rehabilitation."
To MSM, for the Nth time, Muslim extremists are considerate, loving, and compassionate in direct violation of the Koran.
The TRUE Muslims, i.e., the pious ones, MUST kill us or be killed by us (Koran 9:111).
What other group of people besides Muslims could make Adolph Hitler and Nazis appear kind and benevolent?
The idiots we allow to run our various "representative" governments will go to any length, no matter how absurd, to act out their pretense that we are not in a war, and that the jihaddis are not enemy soldiers.
If we don't get rid of all those ice-hearted, soulless ass-hats we're done for.
Has anyone EVER seen a rehabillitated jihaddist?
By the way, Muslims who claim to have been jihaddists but have "reformed for convenience" and now have a lucrative TV/writing career as a "counsellor" or government adviser don't count.
BAN ISLAM IN INFIDEL COUNTRIES
Islam is a criminal religion and a totalitarian ideology.Islam encourages muslims to kill non-muslims.Islam encourages terrorism against non-muslims.In order to achieve peace we have to ban islam in our non-muslim countries.Muslims should not be allowed to enter non-muslim countries as it is an invitation to potential terrorists.Some verses of quran which teach warfare against non-muslims:
Fight those who do not believe in Allah...nor follow the religion of truth, out of those who have been given the Book, until they pay the tax in acknowledgment of superiority and they are in a state of subjection.
...make firm those who believe. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them.
...slay the idolaters wherever you find them...take them captives and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush...
...fight the polytheists all together as they fight you all together...
[2.190] ...fight in the way of Allah with those who fight with you...[2.191] And kill them wherever you find them, and drive them out from whence they drove you out, and persecution is severer than slaughter, and do not fight with them at the Sacred Mosque until they fight with you in it, but if they do fight you, then slay them; such is the recompense of the unbelievers.
Jihadism is a neurological disorder, you see. It can only be cured through cognitive psychology, lobotomy or imposed brain death.
Rehab is like trying to reform a pyromaniac to only light candles. Waste of time and money.
Over time, the architect and administrators of "government" and "public affairs", mainly the liberal leftists, have come up with radical ideas and unproven, unsuccessful ways to spend and steal our tax dollars, often with the help of an activist judiciary or a willing administration (Obama), without any real examination or even any real questions ever asked. They simply feel its their duty to write checks out on behalf of the American people for whatever moronic cause that may aid the Democratic Party's agenda and please their voter prospects.
Worse still, they have succeeded in the killing the sense of ownership, accountability and outrage in the American taxpayer, whose money is being diverted by the billions - no questions ever asked!
The American taxpayer is like a well trained baboon who goes to work eight to ten hours, eats his burger and fries and goes to sleep after watching mundane news reports about gridlock in D.C., while the the politicians rob us blind.
$11 million for Islamic terrorists who want us dead is tragic and simply unbelievable. Undoubtedly, some, if not all, of his money will be used to kill Americans in the future.
Who wants to rehabilitate terrorists...most of them have committed or conspired in capital crimes.
Turn them over to military authorities for trial. Let the military tribunal establish the facts in each case and penalize accordingly. Nobody's gonna miss them, except for someone like Osama bin Ladin with family members numbering in the thousands, and you're not gonna buy him off with any kind of monetary inducement, his wealth from about ten years ago amounted to $300 million dollars (and I imagine it's been growing all those years).
The quicker Jihadists get it into their heads that they will die either in battle with the infidel or swinging from an infidel noose, the quicker they might decide to get another hobby.
"U.S. pledges $11 million toward jihadist rehab in Yemen"
This is embarrassing!
Just how stupid are the people who make these decisions? (Rhetorical)

Now, of course, everyone and his brother -- including countries where there were no Muslims -- will want to encourage a Muslim group to spread, and then to encourage those who want to participate directly in Jihad through violence to do so or at least threaten to do so -- and then wait for the American aid to flow in.
It's merely an update of "The Mouse That Roared." This time you don't actually have to declare war on the United States as a state; you need only have a "problem with violent extremists" that requires more jobs and a lot less poverty, and send those checks please directly to Mr. Big and His Associates, The Palace With The Gold Dome, in Bigsville, and he will put his most trusted aides in charge of the whole jobs-and-fighting-poverty-to-lessen-the-Jihad problem. You'll see results in no time.
Imam's son: FBI was just inhumane..
http://www.freep.com/article/20100131/NEWS01/1310462/1318/Imams-son-FBI-was-inhumane
That clown got what he deserved..
This is nothing but R&R for the enemy, as the Saudi experience has shown. As to that, why aren't the Saudis footing the bill for this asininity instead of us? It isn't as though they couldn't find $11 million to spare.
Please tell me why the U.S. just wasted 11 million dollars?
I'd like a good reason.
Exactly so, Hugh. This could become just another liberal give-away program, costing more every year, and achieving fewer results. And every year, the liberal response will be to spend more money on it. Just like public education: the spending will go up and up, and the results down and down. What starts at $11 million/yr will soon become $111 million, and then $1.1 billion/yr, and so on. Or like the "War on Poverty's" Aid to Dependent Children: essentially the government decided to subsidize single motherhood; and lo and behold, in just one generation, single motherhood went from being an aberration to being the norm in some areas; and costs mushroomed to a hundred times the original "projections". Within ten years or so, the Office of Jihad Rehabilitation will be just another entrenched bureaucracy, with an annual budget of $3 or 4 billion.
Rasulullahhaha Obama recognizes the value of a dollar, your dollar...The 'gift' of this 11 million dollars is similar to the 'gifts' offered the Taliban in Afghanistan...Rasool thinks you can 'gift' a Mahoundian out of being a Mahoundian...It never worked for him...
The Saudi's found the only thing that works...art therapy...
Art therapy ends jihad...Maybe someone should send Rasool some crayons and a drawing pad...
If Muhams are not taught to leave Muhammadenism completely then this is a waste of time and resources that will cost the non-Muham world many times the $11 million applied.
Muhammadenism is terrorism. To leave one a rehabilitated Muhammaden terrorist is to leave one as they were; a muhammaden terrorist.
If a terrorist commits acts of terror with politeness or if they have hatred in their hearts it does not change the act of terror.
Simply suggesting that we must convert or die or pay is an act of terror to those who do not wish either upon themselves or their loved ones.
The idea that all the world must become Muhammaden is terroristic.
If these were simply ideas we might give some concessions to muhammadenism in general but they are not; they are Muhammad and Allah given commands that must be followed to avoid punishment in this life and the next.

Just what I was going to note, Hugh. It actually behooves a country looking for a flow of Jizya to become the "new" Yemen. Yemen never received so much "aid" before becoming the "latest front on the war on terror".
Are you listening, Chad? Mali? Mauritania? Surely, this is a way to put Burkina Faso on the map. Don't the Comoros deserve a little respect, or at least a big foreign aid package?
Because we have a narcissistic numbskull in the Oval Office, that's why.
Rehab Shmehab! Maybe if the money dried up, those shm*@ks would have to work for a living, like everyone else.
"Because we have a narcissistic numbskull in the Oval Office, that's why."
Make that a MUSLIM "narcissistic numbskull in the Oval Office."
His childhood exposure to and evident sympathy with Islam notwithstanding, B-Ho cannot be an adherent to that creed -- for such would require that he venerate something other than what he sees in the mirror.
WHAT IN THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THE UNITED STATES? Why, in the name of God did we waste 11 million dollars? Those fools are not going to get reformed. Any dumbass can see that.
What in the world is our government thinking of? Are they that dumb and blind in thinking that we can change those infidels?
They have beheaded our American citizens, but we are going to send the POGs (prisioners of Gitmo) back to their country? I strongly feel that we need to execute ALL of them and set an example for those pieces of garbage to see. Stop messing with the US. You keep this mess up, we will eliminate you from this earth.
