This effort is foredoomed. If these “deradicalization” programs won’t deal with the motive, the inspiration for this holy war – namely Islam, how could they possibly be successful. I mean, really.

The only way to de-radicalize a Muslim is to convert him to something else.

“Bari Islamist truck driver to be ‘deradicalised,'” ANSA, April 12, 2017:

(ANSA) – Bari, April 12 – A Bari-area truck driver who converted to Islam and posted material praising jihad is to be “deradicalised”, authorities said Wednesday.

Alfredo alias Muhammad Santamato, 42, was flagged as a potential threat, perhaps using his truck to target civilians as in recent attacks in Nice, Berlin, London and Stockholm, police said.

His license has been confiscated and he now has to report to police while doing a special course aimed at erasing his Islamist beliefs, sources said.

There is no such thing as “deradicalising” a fanatical muslim once they become radicalized. The only solution is to “deport” them.

Agreed. One well-placed shot from a 30-06 would be cheaper, though.

Most certainly, one shot cures all, makes bad muslims good, immediately.

According to Hirsi Ali, the West is blind to the Dawa = Islamic propaganda: = the Jihad ideology behind the Muslim terror attacks. .. .

Taking away his driver’s license! That should teach him a BIG lesson!
Lessons on why it’s wrong to kill in the name of Allah and why one really should not try to kill others while driving! Gee…I wonder how this will work. Let’s check back in a few months I am sure he will be as good as new!

deportation is a half measure. The only way mankind (yes politically incorrect) can “de-radicalize” him is via the death penalty.

Once that stuff is hard-wired into their brains, it is very difficult to change it.

How do you separate someone from the very ideology that motivates them?

DERADICALIZE = HANGING

The ONLY way to “deradicalize” an Islamist is 1. the death penalty 2. Christ coming into his heart to show him Truth and convert him. Man can ONLY do this via the death penalty. Get real folks, Islam is the root of the problem. Until it is removed, you do not “de-radicalize” anyone. Islam is a political and control system posing as a religion. It is a barbaric death cult that gives men total control over their wives and daughters to be treated like hogs going to slaughter.

Gee what was I thinking. That’s a great idea! Give your head a shake! These judges and other higher up’s that think this is the answer need their heads examined. Put them in jail and then take away their citizenship. Next deport them ASAP and never let them return. Nothing is fool proof but trying to deradicalize them is a waste of time and money! Really they should be in front of a firing squad but the left would have a conniption. We’re better than that they say as they over and over again make this country less safe.

Oh Yeah! I’m sure that deradicalization program is bound to work. In fact they should have it in all the Mosques and we can wipe out extremism. Sarc.
