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

Austria: Vienna jihad murderer had gone to deradicalization program, was not considered a terror threat

Nov 3, 2020 2:45 pm By Robert Spencer 20 Comments

I’ve been pointing out for years that deradicalization programs are an abysmal failure everywhere they have been implemented. From the Jihad Watch archives:

UK: London jihadi stabbed man at deradicalization event, victim’s father hopes killing won’t be used as a “pretext”

Gitmo prisoner reveals: Saudi “deradicalization program” is really a jihad training program

11 ex-Gitmo prisoners flee the Saudi “rehabilitation program” and join up with terrorist groups

Jaw-dropper: 25 former Gitmo detainees “return to militancy” despite Saudi rehab program!

Graduate from Saudi jihadi rehab program killed in Syrian jihad: “killed a large number of Christians before his acceptance by God”

Flight 253 jihadist wasn’t cured by Saudi anti-jihad art therapy

Former Guantanamo detainee now top al-Qaeda ideologue — “He was transferred to Saudi Arabia in 2006 where he was placed in a national rehabilitation project.”

Indonesian government admits that its jihadist rehab program is a failure

Malaysia: Muslim cleric active in deradicalization program promotes hatred of non-Muslims

France’s only jihadi “deradicalization” center is closing — it was voluntary, and it was empty

Australia: Multi-million-dollar taxpayer-funded “deradicalization” helpline “failing to gain traction”

The whole premise of “deradicalization” is that Islam is a religion of peace that jihadis misunderstand, twist, and hijack. Since that is a false premise, and warfare against unbelievers is actually taught in the Qur’an and Sunnah, “deradicalization” focuses on other issues, such as “anger issues” that the jihadi may have, his feelings of “alienation,” and the like.

But since none of that changes what the Qur’an and Sunnah say about warfare against unbelievers, it doesn’t “deradicalize” the jihadi at all. A British psychologist behind a “deradicalization” scheme has admitted that there’s no guarantee that jihadis can ever be “cured.”

“CALL TO ARMS Vienna shooting: ISIS gunman ‘sent Charlie Hebdo massacre vid to accomplices’ hours before slaughtering 4,” by Henry Holloway, The Sun, November 3, 2020:

…At least 14 people have been arrested in 18 raids as more than 1,000 cops were deployed to probe the case….

Interior minister Karl Nehammer confirmed Fejzulai was an “ISIS sympathiser” and he had been released early from prison due to his young age.

The minister said Fejzulai had attended a de-radicalisation programme, but that “despite all the outward signs that he was integrating into society, the assailant apparently did exactly the opposite”

Nehammer added the fact he managed “deceive the judicial system’s deradicalization program to secure his release” should the system needs to be re-evaluated….

Falter reported he was in prison for just seven and a half months – less than half of his 22 month sentence – after being caught trying to join ISIS in 2019.

It reported he became radicalised as a teenager as he dealt with problems at school and at home, with his family not being strictly religious.

He is reported to have become a member of a mosque which was already being monitored by security services.

Fejzulai is reported to have admitted he had “got into the wrong mosque” when he appeared before a judge in 2019….

Fejzulai was being monitored by the security services, but was not deemed to be a domestic terror threat….

    The deradicalization programs are as much a sham as is the term Islamophobia. Both are designed to gloss over the overriding need for Islam to foment violence.

    The only good deradicalization program is one that proves to them: that the Koran is Not the Word of God,that it has Errors and Contradictions.

    Muslims lie to us non-Muslims all the time, so I would never believe that some Muslim scumbag, who has gone through some bullshit deradicalisation course, is telling the truth if he said he was now a supporter of our western way of life. With all these terrorist attacks, all over the world, the thing I keep thinking is when will the majority of our populations, in all non-Muslim countries, finally wake up and see the big picture and say, no, no more Muslim in our countries. Ban any more Muslim migrants and kick the ones in our countries out. One day, maybe years and years away, this will have to happen. Do what Burma did (not a country I would normally admire but on their Muslims they got it right) and, no doubt sick of the endless trouble from Muslims, kick them out. It will probably take a civil war in some western countries, because there are so many Muslims already there, but it is surely going to have to happen some day. Islam is totally incompatible with our values and 1400 years of warfare shows this very clearly.

      The dhimmi leaders of Eu have done such a thankless number on their own hapless populace that CIVIL WAR IN THE EU has become INEVITABLE… the other option is surrender and being conquered by this pestilence.

        I agree with your comment, infidel. To me, the annoying thing is how long it seems to be taking the majority of our populations (I live in Australia which hasn’t gone as far down the path to ruin as Europe seems to have done) to wake up to what a threat islam is. Yeah, I see civil war coming up in the future unless all our countries stop letting Muslims in. Too many people just don’t yet see what a menace Islam is.

    The Fishmongers’ Hall killer, Usman Khan, gave out the impression that he was “rehabilitated”.
    Al Ghazali (1059-1111), set out the position a long time ago:

    “Understand that lying is not wrong in itself. If a lie is the only way to achieve a good result [for Islam], it is permitted.”

    Authorities need to begin the Learning Curve. They need to be alerted to these features of Islam.

    There are 1 MILLION UYGHURS in reeducation camps in Sinkiang ,China: from what I have heard the stupid Chinese Communist Party has NOT had the idea of having as part of the reeducation:

    the best arguments that prove the Koran is not divine,and that Mohamed was not a saint,etc.

    The Chinese communists,being ATHEISTS, are Too Stupid to see that that is the best way to solve the problem.

    “This is a common myth. In reality, study after study has shown that poverty doesn’t cause terrorism, and therefore social services will not end terrorism. But the money will, of course, not be refused.”

    People still today believe that poverty causes terrorism. Amazing!

    Professor Ann Aly ( now Australia’s first Muslim female Federal MP ) was so so good with her deradicalization programs that she was only Australian invited by President Obama to the White House. to speak at a countering-violent-extremism summit in 2015,

    Dr Aly, was a deradicalisation expert whose work has focused on young Muslims, and she ran programs on radicalisation, violent extremism and counter terrorism.

    When will they ever learn ? For such a “deradicalization program” will not work.Nor will any “deradicalization program”work. The reason this because the devolt Muslim who is totally committed to the practice of all parts of his religion including the violent jihad will sooner or later engage in the jihad violence for his religion, The only way which is not included in the”programs is for to loses all faith in Islam which is highly unlikely

    In addition ,,a better term than a “deradicalization” would be a “de-mind programming therapy system” or simply a “deprograming system” Still it’s best to be realistic and not to really feel that violent jihadist can be straightened out into being peaceful man.

    This is because a Muslim who are jihadist are so thoroughly ingrained infected into Qu ‘ran based theology that is the foundation for jihad ideology that the charges of changing for the better is slim to done.

    This shows the terrible harm that non-watered down ,hard core Islam can to. It make man and women literally become dangerous to self and others.

    To sum this up, it’s unrealistic to think that any “deradicalization program’ would be effective in strengthening out a violent jihad-minded Muslim into becoming non violent peaceful Muslim .

    It might be a good idea to remember the wisdom written by the philosopher Immanuel Kant ,who wrote “Out of the crooked timber of humanity no straight thing can ever be made.”

    LIkewise ,the ancient Greek playwright ,Aristophanes ,wrote “Even the wisest of the wise can never make a crab walk straight.’

    If I was an American citizen, my vote would go, for 100%, for Donald Trump. He is the only political leader in the west who chose obviously for his country and his people. Think of Make America Great Again, and AMERICA FIRST. He was not ashamed to say, he is against immigration from shit hole countries of useless and dangerous people. He has no problem to say; they contribute nothing to American society except of heavy criminality and Islamic terror. In his election rally he clearly mentioned the Islamic terror attacks in France, and said he doesn’t want that to happen in American streets. There was no hypocritical politic-correctness in his speeches. I wish political leaders of western- and northern European countries will take Donald Trump as an example for leadership. If they had done that, and had chosen obviously for the safety of their countries and THEIR PEOPLE instead of dangerous multicultural society and radicalization programs, a lot of people all over Europe had a fair chance to stay alive. The last terror attack in Vienna shows, in real time, the hazard of Islamic immigration into Europe. The wall Trump is building in Texas must be build in Europe. ISLAM must be kicked out of Europe. The sooner the better. Recep Tayyip Erdogan had already warned us: There is no thing such as moderate Islam. Islam is Islam.

    The Lone Ranger form of ”deradicalization” is the only effective solution. A lead version, however, would be more cost-effective. We should not feel guilty if they beat us to the punch by self-destruction, self-immolation, etc.

    What you see here are the beauties of brainwashing and indoctrination, pure indoctrinated fanaticism
    How can you deradicalize fanaticism? Only death can give that certainty of such conditioned minds.
    This is not the type of people which can be let in to Europe, we must follow the leads of Japan and Hungary etc. All those clever caring nations who decided that the safety of their people should come before the other fanaticism the Marxist (Politically Correct) anti-European fanaticism.
    Those members of this cult who speak/ publish such bad things about us the infidels in their books, and what they should do to us and what should become of us and how to treat us, are offended by cartoons from us of the one who wrote all those aggressive insulting things about US!
    Whose Sovereignty?
    Whose Law?
    Whose Freedom of Speech?
    Who do they think that they are?
    So who protects those who don’t want any more to do with Islam from Islam?
    Who protects those who don’t believe in Islam from Islam?
    Who protects those who speak against Islam from Islam?
