Cécile Rousseau, who is described as “a pediatric psychiatrist at McGill University and an expert on violent radicalization and extremism,” advises that women and children who are being detained in Islamic State (ISIS) camps should be brought back to Canada “quickly.” She “does not believe that a handful of women returning with young children, who will be monitored and given support, will represent a danger to Canadian society,” yet she is touted as an “expert” in “radicalization and extremism.” Islamic State brides and their children are often not innocent people. Many ISIS brides are jihad fighters themselves. Some have gravely harmed and even murdered innocent people. Rousseau demonstrates no concern for their victims or the danger these women may still pose. ISIS brides and their children could pose a grave danger to Western countries, which many of these mothers view as enemy territories to be conquered for Islam. Some Islamic State brides are active on social media about their commitment to raise their their children as jihad fighters. Known as “Cubs of the Caliphate,” some Islamic State children have been trained to “use weapons and sent out in combat. Counter-terror experts (excluding Rousseau) “are concerned about the risks posed by such vulnerable children.”
The toddler in this video, which you can view at your own risk HERE, could possibly be the child of a Western convert. “The little boy is handed a gun, and he proceeds to pump five rounds into the victim while shrieking, ‘Allahu akbar!’ The last child killer in the video cuts his victim’s throat next to a kiddie train track and then leaves his knife planted in the victim’s back.”
In Rousseau’s view, such children still belong in Western classrooms with infidel children.
For years, the Islamic State has been brainwashing children — from toddlers to teenagers – to become executioners, soldiers and suicide bombers. They are also conditioned and trained in the jihad ideology and raised to proselytize for Islam and preach it. Newsweek reported back in 2015 that hundreds of children in Syria had been recruited into Islamic State ranks. There were even offices set up for “Ashbal al-Khilafah” (“Cubs of the Caliphate”). Minors were “indoctrinated through sharia courses and prepared for combat in military training camps,” and “children were encouraged to attend public executions and were offered weapons and cash to join the organisation.” In Raqqa, child training camps were set up, in which kids were given blond, blue-eyed dolls. They were then instructed on how to decapitate the dolls. According to the Daily Mail in 2021, “a 13-year-old boy” was “taught to use a gun by ISIS fighters” at age eight. He was at the time the article was written “locked up at a prison for ‘Caliphate Cubs’” and said he wanted to come “home” to Britain. But what would he do when there?
Says Rousseau:
So waiting is not a good idea, especially with young children. They are Canadian citizens, let’s have them back home — that’s the best outcome for them and for us.
Rousseau will not likely be willing to open her own doors to these ISIS brides and their children, but she has no problem with them being at large in Canada, despite their histories and the record of ISIS indoctrination.
In a country such as Canada, with Justin Trudeau as Prime Minister — the man who set out a welcome mat for ISIS returnees — Rousseau may well be thought credible.
“Women, kids detained in ISIS camps should be repatriated to Canada quickly: expert,” by Sidhartha Banerjee, Canadian Press, October 30, 2022:
A psychiatrist involved in efforts to support children of Canadian women detained in Syria after travelling to join the Islamic State is urging Ottawa to speed up repatriation efforts.
Dr. Cécile Rousseau, a pediatric psychiatrist at McGill University and an expert on violent radicalization and extremism, was part of a committee of local health officials and child welfare experts brought together by the RCMP’s Quebec detachment after the caliphate fell in 2017.
She said she does not believe that a handful of women returning with young children, who will be monitored and given support, will represent a danger to Canadian society.
“I think we should move forward because the more we wait, the more it will be difficult for Canada and for the people coming back to reintegrate into society,” Rousseau said.
“So waiting is not a good idea, especially with young children. They are Canadian citizens, let’s have them back home — that’s the best outcome for them and for us.”
On Wednesday, Oumaima Chouay, 27, returned to Canada with her two children and another Canadian adult, Kimberly Polman of B.C.
Chouay faces charges of leaving Canada to participate in the activity of a terrorist group, participation in the activity of a terrorist group, providing property or services for terrorism purposes and conspiracy to participate in the activity of a terrorist group. Her case returns to court Nov. 8……

Rousseau and her ilk get a kick out of violence – all the chat is just so much fore-play: It’s that simple.

A halfway house should be set up next door from where this “pediatric psychiatrist” lives for the ISIS brides and their families .If this expect in the field of pediatric psychiatrist can if she has any kids have the ISIS offspring attend the same school as her kids.
Keith O says
Hell yeah, or maybe have them move in next door to Jihad Justine!
mg says
Anyone have a list of the issis brides and their children and what has become of them in all these nations that have taken them back?
Fitna says
By her retarded logic we should bring all members of ISIS into Canada so they can be “reintegrated,” oh and do it quickly too!! We can’t get enough of these terrorists here fast enough! Ignoring the fact that so-called deradicalization and integration have all failed miserably, ask the Lefties in Europe who are slowly learning that Islam is incompatible with the West.
This idiot’s face should be used as fodder for all the late night comedy shows, reminding everyone how stupid and deranged some Islam-loving Leftists tend to be. I’ll bet this so-called “expert” lives alone and talks to her walls at night.
Sadly, her views are not on the fringes but the mainstream for the Left, so Canada is in serious danger of Islamic terrorist attacks in the future because they refuse to see this danger objective and deal with it firmly.
Unfortunately most humans are linear/concrete thinkers. If it doesn’t happen to them it isn’t a problem. What’s needed is abstract thinking, smart people who are able to generalize from the particular examples.
Leftists keep telling us to give Muslims the benefit of the doubt, over and over, that’s their only answer. The idea that Muslims don’t belong here, or that they’re dangerous as a group, or that we’re in a state of war against them never enters their tiny little minds. Until they see large piles of dead bodies and maybe after millions are dead they might reconsider their views.
The problem with Leftists is that they project their ideology onto others. They see “brown people” (Muslims) and automatically assume they victims of western imperialism. They don’t bother to examine the views that these brown people hold, like their attitude towards gays, women and other minorities.
They also don’t understand the power of religious brainwashing and how strongly Muslims adhere to their beliefs. This is why Christians are clearly able to see Muslims are a threat, because they understand what religious fervor/devotion means. It’s really up to the center-Right to take the lead when it comes to Islam.
Keith O says
If my memory serves me correctly, these ISIS brood mares willingly joined this terror organisation, renounced their citizenship of the civilized nations they were from, pledged allegiance to a terrorist group, reaped the “benefits” of said murderous group and swore on a stack of Korans to destroy western civilisation.
Now, fair enough, the kids are to a large extent innocent in all this and deserve to be taken to safety and then deprogramed. But their incubators?? NO WAY IN HELL WOULD I WANT THEM IN MY COUNTRY.

This expert, no doubt, will not be held to account in any way if one of these returning ISIS women commits some terrorist atrocity in Canada. I’d say that her opinion is no better than the opinions of ordinary people, most of whom probably think that the women should be left to rot away where they are. In Australia, we have just had 13 ISIS women and their children returned so this is big news. I think that most people don’t think that it is worth the risk to the community, but when you have a left wing Labor government, as we do, then naturally they bring these women back and bugger the danger to the ordinary people who might be harmed by these ISIS scum. IT has been interesting because these returning women and children are being settled back in south west suburbs of Sydney and there are many victims of the ISIS scum living there , including Yezidis, and they have expressed alarm and so local Labor politicians, mayors in those suburbs, have spoken up against bringing the ISIS scum back.
Keith O says

Thanks for that, Keith O. I had not heard about that case at all. That’s more like the way to treat these scum of the earth. What an evil monster she obviously is. I haven’t heard too many people saying that our government should have brought these creatures back although I suppose you have to have some sympathy for the children who were dragged off to join ISIS by their evil parents. But i suspect the children are now already completely fucked up for life as they have been turned into monsters. I was impressed by a couple of those local mayors, one is Carbone, from Fairfield, and the other Christou (I think) from around parramatta who spoke out well against bringing these ISIS scum back because that is where they think these ISIS vermin will be living. Also Dai Le spoke up well against bringing them back to an area where she is the MP. Imagine how much money the taxpayers are going to have spend keeping these ISIS creatures under control.
Keith O says
Oh yeah, always sickens me at the amount of $$ the gumbyment is willing to waste on vermin and stupid ideas.
tim gallagher says
Yes, I agree, Keith O. The taxpayers will end up spending millions of dollars trying to keep an eye on these scum. They should have been left over in the crappy Muslim countries which they chose to go to in order to join in all that ISIS murdering and torturing people. They don’t belong in any civilised, non-Muslim country.
James Lincoln says
Dr. Cécile Rousseau needs a LOT of time on the couch with a conservative “Canada First” psychiatrist.
tim gallagher says
Spot on, James. She obviously is out of touch with harsh reality and needs to be woken up. I recall that there was that poster boy for “deradicalisation” programs in the UK who then turned around and murdered some people. I’m sure that this Rousseau character will not be held to account if something similar happens in Canada when they bring these ISIS scum back.
Scotsman48 says
I wonder how many Cats this Dr, this radicalization expert, has in her home…
James Lincoln says
Is it just me or is that picture of Dr. Cécile Rousseau the spitting image of a leftist?
Alkflaeda says
Dr Rousseau should do a case study on Samantha Lewthwaite, the wife of Germaine Lindsay, who was involved in London’s 7/7 bombing. Lewthwaite claimed at the time that, although she had converted to Islam and had met Lindsay at the mosque where he too was a convert, she simply had no idea that he was radicalised, much less that he would get on public transport with some very interesting stuff in his backpack. Since then, she has become one of the West’s most wanted terror suspects in her own right. Being as she hadn’t been radicalised herself and, as a moderate Muslim, was suitably horrified at her husband’s behaviour, you understand.
