Prime Minister David Cameron has announced that if British jihadists want to return they should be forced to attend de-radicalisation sessions which seek to better educate terrorists about Islam. Here’s what I said on my Google Plus page about that:
“I have looked at some of these deradicalisation programs, and while there are some good elements to them, they often hinge on the notion that terrorists are simply mistaken about their own religion, so that once they are shown the truth (i.e., that Islam is actually a religion of peace) they’ll abandon their jihadist ways. But it is incredibly naïve to suppose that the basic problem with Britain’s jihadists is that they are simply mistaken about their own religion. They are not traveling to the Middle East to kill Christians because of making one too many mistakes when reading the Quran. It is equally naïve to think these jihadists can be re-integrated into the country after the atrocities they have helped to perpetuate in the Middle East.
