It is obvious that jihadists are “very likely” to re-offend. Attempts to deradicalize them have all proven to be an abject failure. The very premise of such programs shows no understanding of the Islamic religious zeal that governs jihadis. They are waging jihad war against the infidel because they believe this to be the highest calling in Islam, with promises of supreme rewards in paradise. So while 60% went on to actually commit terrorism offenses, the other 40% are threats as well:
While 40 per cent of the returning jihadists have not engaged in actual terrorism after getting to France, newspaper Le Figaro reports that many still have not given up on their radical Islamist ideology and even promote it to younger generations.
How many is “many”? That question is not addressed. In any case, what is crystal clear is that jihadis are jihadis. They are not the same as other criminals. They are trained and dedicated to a mission that involves killing and being killed (cf. Qur’an 9:111).
“French Study Finds Jihadist Terrorists Very Likely to Re-Offend,” by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, July 22, 2020:
A study released by the French Centre for Terrorism Analysis (CAT) has revealed that 60 per cent of Islamic radicals who left France to fight abroad between 1986 to 2006 have gone on to commit terrorist offences.
The study looked at French Muslims who had fought in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Bosnia-Herzegovina. The researchers found that the majority of those who returned to France later went on to engage in terrorism.
Jean-Charles Brisard, president of the CAT, commented on the findings, saying: “Until now, international studies of all identified jihadists around the world concluded with a re-engagement rate [with terrorism] of 11 per cent. French statistics are even more worrying.”
While 40 per cent of the returning jihadists have not engaged in actual terrorism after getting to France, newspaper Le Figaro reports that many still have not given up on their racial Islamist ideology and even promote it to younger generations.
Those who travelled to fight in Iraq during the early 2000s saw the largest rate of recidivism after returning to France, with 100 per cent of the 16 extremists continuing their terrorist actions, compared to just 39 per cent of those who travelled to Bosnia-Herzegovina.
The study comes as France is set to release 2,540 radical Islamists from prison by the year 2022, over 300 of them directly linked to terrorist convictions and many of them having returned from Iraq or Syria after fighting for groups like Islamic State.
Many of the Islamists set for release were radicalised while in prison, with the French Court of Auditors claiming at least 498 “detainees susceptible to radicalisation (DCSR)” will be released from 2020 to 2022….

Best to assume the 40% are just biding their time.

Reply: about 35% of Muslims worldwide declare they do NOT want Sharia or a caliphate. These are non-practicing Muslims or cultural Muslims. At least one Muslim out of three is no longer a real believer. Another group of former believers is the ‘Salafi-burnout’. They implement all of Sharia and attend the mosque fanatically and read the source texts before getting fatigued with it. They seldom go back. Most converts to Islam leave within about 20 months. A great exodus from Islam is coming in the next few years as Muslims discover the historical critique. Islam has no provenance or historical basis. This reveals Islam as a hoax of the caliphs used to enforce mind control.
Wellington says
You’re more optimistic than I am, mortimer, but I hope you’re correct.
On the specific claim by you that around 35% of Muslims worldwide don’t want Sharia or a caliphate, even assuming this is the case the problem is that such Muslims won’t do diddly to stop the more “enthusiastic” Muslims from implementing these two aspects of Islam. As I have written before, so-called moderate Muslims are just about the most useless, clueless and gutless group of people on the planet.

Agreed.
And how many of those “Salafi burnouts” actually become advocates of freedom and democracy? Very few…
B Dowe says
Islam has been waging war on the world for 1400 years. Their ideology hasn’t changed. They will do whatever it takes to convert or kill the infidel dogs!
In America, they are creppeping insidiously into local, state and federal govts.
They cannot be trusted!
Do not be fooled by the taqiyya!
mortimer says
France has the scholars who can deconstruct Islam. That is the only way to convince Muslims to leave Islam. Muslims must be convinced that the Koran is one of history’s greatest hoaxes. Then they will leave Islam and jihad will no longer exist.
Dude says
Let’s face it: if you are a sinner in the desert, your only hope for paradise is to die while trying to kill the infidels.
It’s not ontology, it’s just a scam to control the fools to get more booty. I know, you’re thinking, “How could anyone be so stupid?” Well it’s now known that in-breeding eventually produces a society of idiots – like the flick, “Deliverance”. And that’s who we got, pouring into the civilized West. Hell, yah, squeal like a pig!!!

Christians have been sinners in the desert, and somehow avoided wanting to slaughter non-Christians.
Being bored is not enough excuse for murdering innocent people.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
Reoffend? What they’re doing is keeping the continuum of Jihad warfare going whether in Dar al Islam or Dar al Harb, the Land of War, which in this case is France.
Fight until there is no God but Allah
– Allah
Fight who? For what reason, what objective? And is fighting just strongly worded letters and nasty arguments?

This article is a reminder that even before that vicious ISIS jihad attack and those brutal murderous Islamic terror attacks in Paris, France, on November 13, 2015 and then that Nice, France jihad murdering jihad attack on July 14, 2016 in an ISIS audio recording broadcasted on September 2014 declared “If you can kill a disbelieving American or European especially the spiteful and filthy French …kill him in any manner or way however it may be.” [1] This alone exposes the vicious and malicious way of thinking of the jihadist who composes ISIS. The result of this wicked mindset where those heinously malice – filled jihad mindset was carried out by those by those Islamic jihadist deadly attacks in Paris and Nice. Furthermore the jihadists of ISIS sure have some gall calling the French “spiteful” since it’s the jihadist ISIS thugs who are so very spiteful that they murder people in many extremely cruel ways. Likewise, the ISIS savages have some gall calling the French “filthy” Since it’s the ISIS jihadist villains who the ones who are so lawless and vile that the kidnap and rape both girls and women.

In the different nations of Europe as a whole 91% of the victims of Islamic violence ,as in many cases deadly Islamic violence .The jihadists use firearms as well as using bombs .Even using themselves as human bombs time bombs ,just waiting to go off in the many cities of Europe . It only takes a few out of many to inflect much murderous harm.
Those jihadists engaging in Islamic suicide/homicide bombings attacks is for a large part, the outcome the extreme brainwashing that is performed in Islamic mind programming centers which are mosques and madrasas. In those jihad mind control places students are thoroughly indoctrinated into the jihadist mindset of committing murderous bombing attacks in the jihad for the advancement of Islam. As Islam’s “holy book,” the Quran instructs in 9:111. , for example, “The believers fight in Allah’s Cause, they slay and are slain they kill and are killed.”
Therefore, those who come out of those Quran based mind programming centers .mosque and madrasas, are so terribly harmed and damaged that they are literally, as it has be rightfully called, “dangerous to self and others.” This results in jihad suicide /homicide attack in which those jihadists who commit such murderous actions are so very deluded that they think of that jihad mass murders as “martyrdom operations.” This is Islamic delusion of the most heinous and malicious kind.
This may be, somewhat, explained by the narrative from the fable of Aesop which is entitled THE SCORPION AND THE FROG So “Once upon a time there was a scorpion who really wanted to get to the other side of the river, but he could not swim. Therefore, the scorpion begged a frog to carry him on his back across the river. The kind but foolish frog agreed and then half-way across the river the scorpion stung the frog. In shock and horror the dying frog asks the scorpion “Why did you sting me since this means that we both are going to die” The scorpion replied “The reason that I stung you even though we both will now die is because that just what a scorpion, by nature, does.”
In conclusion, just as that scorpion in the fable had proven himself by the dangerous and deadly, to self and others, because of his nature. The violent and murderous jihadists of Islam are as that scorpion, dangerous so self and other because they is their nature because they have been thought programmed in the ways of the violent and murdering jihad of Islam. As always stated above ,this is the sad and tragic reality of Islamic terrorism in today’s world.

These figures are *just horrifying*. They should never be let back in.

Not much of a surprise there, the only good jihadis are dead ones.
