They Tried to Make Me Go to "Jihadi Rehab," I Said, "Yes!, Yes! Yes!"

Well, if that dhimmi David Cameron gave you, a returning jihadi, the option of going to jail or rehab, which would you chose (link via Steynonline)?:

Returning Islamist fighters are being offered 'jihadi rehab' instead of prosecution for supporting blood-thirsty terrorist groups. 

The vast majority of more than 300 young men who have arrived back from Syria and Iraq are being allowed to continue their normal lives. 

Many have been offered places on the Government's counter-radicalisation scheme, known as the Channel programme, which has seen a substantial rise in referrals... 

One [Whitehall source] told the Sunday Times that investigators also want to balance the approach towards returning jihadists with the need to avoid being perceived as 'anti- Muslim'. 

The official said: 'The police and MI5 are being careful about how to handle the returnees because they don't want to disturb community cohesion.' 

Spoken by someone who would have fit right in with officialdom in Rotherham.

Update: The Brits seem to have been inspired by a rotten Danish "rehab" program:

The country is facing a dilemma: what to do when these fighters come home?

Aarhus, Denmark's second largest city, thinks it has the answer -- a controversial program for rehabilitating jihadis returning home from Syria that doesn't necessarily involve jail time. 

Here's how the program works: Any returning fighter is eligible for help getting a job, a house, an education, and psychological counseling -- just like any other Danish citizen. 

Those returning must be screened by police, and anyone found to have committed a crime will be put through the courts and possibly prison. 

The program does not try to change the fundamentalist beliefs of the returning fighters -- as long as they don't advocate violence.

 In other words stealth jihad (the modus operandi of most "mainstream" Muslim organizations) is okey-dokey.

This program is not, in fact, rehab in any conventional--or, indeed, rational--understanding of the concept. It is merely state welfare in a multicultural context. It signals to Muslims of all stripes that the Danes haven't a clue what to do with returning holy warriors and have chosen to take "the path of least resistance" (a phrase which, when you think about it, is an excellent way to describe dhimmitude).



"Surveillance and jail"--works for me.
