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

France announces deradicalization programs in schools and prisons

Feb 24, 2018 8:20 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

The French government has announced that “it would seal off extremists within prisons and open new centres to reintegrate returning extremists into society as part of a plan to halt the spread of radical Islam.”

France is lost and fumbling. While the government vows to “seal off extremists within prisons and schools,” French children are being taught that migration is a “human right” and “we are all Africans.” In addition, France has admitted in past that its “deradicalization” programs for jihadis have been a failure.

France is desperately trying to show its increasingly disgruntled public that it is doing something to curb its Islamic jihad problem in the face of its irresponsible immigration policy.

“France clamps down on radical Islam in prisons, schools,” AFP, February 23, 2018:

The French government said Friday (Feb 23) said it would seal off extremists within prisons and open new centres to reintegrate returning extremists into society as part of a plan to halt the spread of radical Islam.

France is experimenting with various ways of ending the drift towards extremism of young people growing up on the margins of society, in predominantly immigrant suburbs where organisations like the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) group or Al-Qaeda recruit.

The plan unveiled Friday is the third in four years and aims to draw lessons from past failures, after three years marked by a series of attacks that left over 240 people dead.

“No one has a magic formula for ‘deradicalisation’ as if you might de-install dangerous software,” Prime Minister Edouard Philippe said in the northern city of Lille where he presented his strategy, flanked by a dozen ministers.

“But in France and elsewhere there are good approaches to prevention and disengagement.”…

To prevent extremism spreading further, Philippe said he would create 1,500 places in separate prison wings “especially for radicalised inmates”.

He also announced plans for three new centres that will attempt to reintegrate radicals referred by French courts, including extremists returning from fallen ISIS strongholds in the Middle East.

A first de-radicalisation trial ended in failure last July, with a centre in western France that operated on a voluntary basis shutting after less than a year with no improvements to show.

Other measures announced by Philippe include:

– Investments in psychological care for returning children of extremists. So far 68 children have been repatriated, most of them under 13.

– Tighter controls on private Islamic schools which have grown rapidly in number in recent years.

– More training for teachers to help them detect early signs of radicalisation and to debunk conspiracy theories…..

    The French will soon have a saying that sounds familiar: “The more Islam changes, the more it stays the same.”

    The French government are clowns!

    This is Macron’s attempt to convince the French people that he is DOING SOMETHING about le probleme Islamique. I doubt that many will be fooled by it.

    Oh, and they plan a law to criminalise “whistling” and other forms of “sexual harassment”:

    A law for white men, of course. Muslim men are most likely excluded due to “cultural differences”.

    What is the French Government’s definition of “radicalisation”? The UK Government defines it as a

    “process by which a person comes to support terrorism and forms of extremism leading to terrorism”.

    That definition neatly matches the standard basic instructions given in mosques.
    See http://gatesofvienna.net/2018/01/instructing-radicalisation/

    This French “initiative” is a non-starter.

    There is some talk, in some countries more than others such as France, of “Rehabilitation centers” for Jihadist/Muslims to help them turn away from their violent and deadly ways of the jihad. In other words to turn them into peaceful men by straightening them out. The sad ad tragic reality is that they are so thoroughly indoctrinated in non-watered down hard core Quran based , Surah 2:191. 5:33. 47:4. 9:5,111. violent jihad for the cause of Islam that no amount of psychology with all is different kinds of therapy will make them peaceful, help them or straighten them out.
    As the ancient Greek playwright, Aristophanes, wrote “Even the wisest of the wise can never make a crab walk straight.” Likewise, the philosopher Immanuel Kant wrote “Out of the crooked timber of humanity no straight thing can ever be made.” Furthermore, the Bible informs its reader in Ecclesiastes 1:15. “That which is crooked cannot be made straight: and that which is wanting cannot be numbered.” [K.J.V.]

      Too bad an extremist wrote the immutable Qur’an and is the perfect model of conduct for all Muslims.
      Confront it or ignore it, “de-radicalization” teachers? A radicalized Muslim is just a true Muslim. “Aha!” moment, ever, monsieurs?

      There is always the Ludovico Technique. Those of us who now become nauseous immediately upon hearing anything about Islam know this is workable.

    Winston S.Macron rides again: “We shall not fight in France, we shall not fight on the beaches nor defend our borders – we shall surrender the streets and suburbs of Paris whatever the cost may be – and if France should last another thousand days, muslims shall say of us – THIS was their feeblest leader!

      Also completely true of the United Kingdom, or course – whose people don’t deserve the consequences of the wholesale abdication of duty by their “leaders” any more than the ordinary people of France, Sweden, Italy, Belgium, Holland, Germany etc.

        I somewhat agree with you Mr. Copson. I did not vote for Hussein Obama nor Bill Clinton, yet I was subject to their anti-American, pro-Islam policies as were those who did vote for these traitors. I voted for Donald Trump and I am enjoying the improvements he has so far been able to institute, despite being fought at every turn by leftist morons.

    Before starting experimenting with deradicalization they should start reading the Koran, Sira and Hadiths.

    “reintegrate returning extremists into society”

    Good Lord.

    When these countries eventually reach the inevitable conclusion of cultural suicide one way or another leftist extremists are going to pay for their actions. Leftist extremists will be stuck in the middle and sealed off from both sides. The islamist side will never accept them and at that point in time the side that values their culture and civilization will be boiling mad. There will be no reintegration for the leftist extremist cultural annihilators.

      If Infidel societies have to survive the Islamic onslaught in their lands, it is VITAL to cut off the Oxygen supply provided by the LEFT to this cancer. Even in real cancer, the most effective cure is to cut off the blood supply (read Oxygen and food supply) to the cancer..

      Yes I have been watching the goings on in India for a long time and you are right, it is not working, for the good people of India that is.

    This is a useless gesture. They would be better off deporting Muslims.
