Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Saudi Arabia’s plush rehab facility for jihadists a spectacular failure

Nov 24, 2014 1:52 pm By Robert Spencer

Saudi terror rehab“When Saudi police arrested 88 suspected Al-Qaeda operatives in September, they discovered that 59 of them had been through reform programs and were then released.” And yet the British are staking their nation’s future on a similar program, which will only ensure that Britain’s future will feature blood in the streets.

“Passages Saudi Arabia: Plum Rehab Facility for Terrorists Producing Poor Results,” Washington Free Beacon, November 19, 2014 9:06 am

While Saudi Arabia remains a close ally of the United States, the Kingdom still “is a fertile recruiting ground for Al-Qaeda and ISIS,” Holly Williams of CBS said.

Williams recently investigated Saudi Arabia’s terrorist rehab program, located in Jeddah.

Saudi Arabia spared no expense on former terrorists, pointing out the reform center’s “recreation facilities, comfortable living quarters, and special apartments for conjugal visits.”

The center “looks more like a hotel than a prison,” Williams said.

The three-month program includes various amenities such as healthcare, food, laundry, and education.

“All free, all free,” one rehab worker said.

Saudi officials have boasted of a rehabilitation rate of over 80 percent. They attribute their “success” to financial incentives and by providing jobs for those who pass through the rehab center.

“Saudi Arabian officials admit rehabilitation doesn’t always work,” Williams said. “But they’ve had some spectacular failures. When Saudi police arrested 88 suspected Al-Qaeda operatives in September, they discovered that 59 of them had been through reform programs and were then released.”

    Shooting a little pool while shooting the breeze about their next mass-murdering for Allah plot! Don’t they appreciate what these tables cost? That’s a really dark, black humour photo above — though it’s lost on those in it, and the person who took it, no doubt.

      You *do* know, I hope, that the billiards table was invented by a Moslem waaay back in the 11th century, and right there in Arabia. Being every bit as inventive a people as Prez Barack Hussein boasted in his famous Cairo apology speech, another Moslem invented Nine Ball. And then another invented 8 Ball.

      They couldn’t invent the chair yet, but they somehow leaped beyond that and went for the pool table.

      I wonder how our scientists at NASA are doing with that Moslem Affirmation program they were ordered to do by our Commander In Chief. I hear the Supreme Leader over in Tehran is looking for aerial intelligence capability, so the door’s wide open to the Moslem Entrepreneurs of whom Prez Hussein boasted..

    “Saudi Arabian officials admit rehabilitation doesn’t always work,”

    Wrong. These programs NEVER work.
    You’re either a True Muslim or a Nominal Muslim. The only way to deal with True Muslims is FORCE, then, Nominal Muslims will have a chance to safely leave Islam.
    Once the Muslim Brotherhood thugs have been crushed by the Egyptian people, Nominal Muslims slowly but surely started to turn away from Islam.
    This is the real long term victory over jihad.

    Then, they become ex-Muslims, fully “rehabilitated”…and they urinate on the “holy” Qur’an!!!

    So they are simultaneously running extremist Wahabbi schools within SA, funding mosques around the world AND paying for rehabilitation of terrorists (that doesn’t work)?

    These guys have way too much money. I guess its all part of the wacky and demented Muslim world.

    No doubt while in rehab you can watch rerun beheading videos sort of like watching reruns of the Beverly Hillbillies, but with guns, or perhaps they get entertained with 10 steps to be a successful suicide bomber…give them money ? pfft ! why didn’t Comoron think of giving repentant Jihadists money ?……..Oh wait……..he did

    No actual mind reform can by done. No matter how money may be invested in a “rehab program.” This is because those 95 al Qaeda operatives who are militant jihadists have been thoroughly contaminated by having their cognition warp by the non–watered down hardcore Islam with all of its militant and deadly violence of its jihad. As the Koran teaches,as in 9:111. 47:4 Just to site two of the many place in Islam “holy book” as places that instruct violence and killing. Moreover to further explain this the ancient Greek poet, Aristophanes, had a good and valid point then he taught “The wisest of wise will never make a crab walk straight.” Last but not least the Bible teaches “That which is crooked cannot be made straight: and that which is wanting cannot be numbered.” Ecclesiastes 1:15. [K.J.V.]

    King Abdullah’s name is too long to publish here, but it stacks right up there with Abu al-Qasim Muhammad Ibn Abd Allah Ibn Abd al-Muttalib Ibn Hashim, the Big Guy himself. Unlike Prez Barack Hussein, our pretend King, King Abdullah is the real thing, coming from a royal lineage going all the way back to the 1920s over 3 or 4 generations, when the British made the unbelievably stupid mistake of inventing the House of Saud.

    Everybody knows that several, maybe dozens, of the thousands of Saudi princes contributed directly to the Sept 11 mass murder. No rehab program for them. Those princes were quietly investigated, prosecuted and executed, no muss no fuss. Prez Dubya insisted on justice and he got it… ok, I’m making this up. Sorry. Guess I’ll go back into my Rehab group session now, I her them calling “Hey APF, get your ass back in here!.” You know, to get better.

    So a NHS doctor who nipped off to do a bit of jihad on his summer break will get rehabilitated by being taught laundry?
    Mr CaMoron, can you please call me so I can tell you this is not going to work and get my six figure consultancy fee?

    it’s that nasty anti-tawāghīt sentiment raising its ugly head.

    What makes you think the Saudi program is a failure? It was never more than a plush safe house for Wahabists, anyway. The Saudis know exactly what they are doing.

    Only Yahweh can change the heart, otherwise lobotomy works well.
