Not a chance those jihadists will reach out in peace and love to the judges, prosecutors and police who put them in prison. Islam has a doctrine of REVENGE:
-K.11.173 “Believers, retaliation is decreed for you in bloodshed.”
-K.2.178 “O you who believe! Retaliation is prescribed for you in the matter of the slain.”
-K.5:33 “The reprisal against those who wage war on Allah and His Messenger, and go about the earth corrupting it, is that they should be killed or crucified, or have their alternate hands and feet cut off, or be banished from the land.” Waging war against Allah is rejecting Him.”–Tafsir of Imam al-Bukhari
-Imam AbdulLatif ibn AbdurRahman rahimullah said, “It is not possible for someone to realize Tawheed and act upon it, and yet not be hostile against the mushrikeen. So anyone who isn’t hostile against the mushrikeen, then it can’t be said that he acts upon Tawheed, nor that he realizes it.” [ad-Durar as-Saniyyah 8/167]
The jihadists will redouble their jihadic efforts by identifying everyone who resisted their jihad and they will hunt them down!

Idiots!
Unfortunately, it will be the general population that will suffer as a result of this naivety.

Cluelessness or sympathy? Or does it even much matter? Niger is 98% Muslim.
