It is no longer difficult for the world of jihadis (stealth and violent) to see the gullibility of Westerners, and their (cultivated) fear of being branded “Islamophobic.” And now “convicted terrorists are ‘deliberately’ pretending to sleep, wear headphones or take long toilet breaks to avoid taking part in deradicalisation programmes. In his annual report, Jonathon Hall QC, the UK’s independent reviewer of terrorism legislation, warns there are ‘significant’ issues with the effectiveness of disengagement schemes.”
What exactly is new about that? Deceit is encouraged in normative Islam.
In addition, for any reform program to work in prisons, the prisoners must be interested in change. Jihadis are on a mission of conquest and believe that Allah has commanded them to wage jihad warfare against unbelievers, so they think they are on a divine mission and don’t want to change. This is why deradicalization programs have been a colossal failure, as prisons increasingly become jihadi training camps.
“Terrorists ‘pretend to sleep and wear headphones’ to avoid UK deradicalisation schemes,” by Nicky Harley, The National, March 24, 2021:
Convicted terrorists are “deliberately” pretending to sleep, wear headphones or take long toilet breaks to avoid taking part in deradicalisation programmes.
In his annual report, Jonathon Hall QC, the UK’s independent reviewer of terrorism legislation, warns there are “significant” issues with the effectiveness of disengagement schemes.
In November 2019, Usman Khan, 28, killed two people near London Bridge after attending a Desistance and Disengagement Programme (DDP). He had been released early from his jail sentence after a conviction for plotting to bomb London’s Stock Exchange.
“Compulsory attendance does not necessarily lead to beneficial engagement,” Mr Hall said.
“Disruptive behaviour or deliberate disengagement during mentoring (both practical and theological) is, I am informed, a significant problem.
“The more extreme examples include pretending to sleep, wearing headphones or taking long toilet breaks. Preventing such behaviour may be easier for offenders on licence, who have a general obligation to ‘be of good behaviour’.”
The DDP schemes were launched in 2016 to focus on rehabilitating those who have been involved in terrorism and related activity to reduce the risk they pose. It was initially aimed at released prisoners but was extended to serving prisoners in 2018…..

Very grim.

Further evidence that so-called forced (within the confines of Western standards) de-radicalization programs do not work…
Michael Copeland says
The reviewer also found:
“there is no “systematic evaluation” of the … Desistance and Disengagement Programmes (DDP)”

The DDP is wrong-headed and unproductive. It serves, though, to make it appear that something is being tried.

If one actually studies and understands Islam, the stupidity and ineffectuality of efforts to “deradicalize” believing and pious Muslims who commit violence in accordance with Islam’s foundational texts borders on insanity.
tgusa says
Who ever thought up this de-radicalization program is beyond brainless. They are not radical they are strict adherents. It would be like trying to train Christians to disavow the ten commandments. What a complete waste of money this program is.
James Lincoln says
Yes, tgusa.
Money that could be spent on actual anti-Jihadi projects…

UK: Convicted jihadis ‘deliberately’ pretend to sleep, take long toilet breaks to avoid deradicalization programs
……………
D’oh! Yes, I’m sure this will be effective…sarc/off
And why are UK prisons allowing Jihadist to sport Islamic beards and garb? This would be like their setting up tattoo parlors so that felons could get Nazi tattoos.

BBC once even defending terrorist Jihadi by write an article where arrested Jihadi was allegedly persecuted by a police because he’s beaten and the police says, “Where’s your god (Allah SWT) now?”
Jihadists had too much rights and protection, they enjoy the “Islamophobia” card a lot…
Walter Sieruk says
They ,the jihadists, can’t be reformed they don’t want to change.

Centuries before the philosopher Kant the ancient Greek playwright Aristophanes had written
“Even the wisest of the Wise can never make a crab walk straight.”

I’m pretty sure the authorities are well aware these deradicalization-programmes don’t work. In Danish we have an ideom, “spil for galleriet”, which basically means the authorities are putting on a show to make the public think something is being done about it and that the problems will be fixed. They won’t, they will only increase exponentially with the growth of Islam. Actually, if the Islamists ever get to a point where they believe they can begin to dominate society, we may even see a rapid increase in attacks and so on in order to create a lot of fear and make the infidels even more submissive than they are today. That’s how Jihad works, basically..
Andrew Blackadder says
Tommy Robinson told the British public all about the radicalization of young muslims in Prisons and he told us this years ago and the BBC etc denigrating everything he said, even though he had seen and heard it with his own eyes and ears while in these prisons and not one of those BBC talking heads has ever been inside any prisons…. Tommy is being proven correct every day for things he told the British public decades ago.
The British public are being played for fools, by muslims and the Elite of the country.
Rarely says
It’s much the same with non-muslim inmates. Rehab programs just don’t work since recidivism rates hover around 80%. You don’t find many inmates jumping for joy and shouting: “Oh boy!! I get to be fixed!!”
Rob R (Brit stuck in Britainistan) says
It’s 2021, and terrorists are allowed to have long toilet breaks but not Amazon warehouse workers.
OLD GUY says
De-radical islamic terrorist is a total waste of time and money. The only thing these islamic killers recognize is pain and death, so give it to them. You can’t change them.
Stanley says
Here’s my two pence worth, to deradicalise these people do the following:
1. Lock them in a solitary room
2. Play 12 hrs a day ‘God is not great’ by the late C Hitcens,
Give them all the source material should they request it. I’m sure it would be better than trying to convince them there made up ideology is peaceful when it clearly isn’t.
