BRITAIN'S PLAN FOR RETURNING JIHADIS...COUNSELING

FROM JOSEPH FARAH'S G2 BULLETIN

GOVERNMENT'S PLAN FOR RETURNING JIHADIS … COUNSELING

U.K. officials announce mandatory psychological treatment

Officials in the United Kingdom have announced a new plan of mandatory psychological treatment for residents who leave to become jihadis, then return, according to a report in Joseph Farah’s G2 Bulletin.

The report says the outline was documented by the Barnabas Fund, a Christian outreach organization that works with persecuted members of the faith around the world.

It reported the Home Office in the U.K., where Muslims have committed multiple acts of terror in recent years, is planning “to require all jihadists who return to the U.K. to undergo psychological treatment as part of a deradicalisation program.”

The government announcement said its targets were those “who are further down the path to radicalization and who need a particularly intensive type of support.”

Estimates are that about 850 people have traveled from the U.K. to Iraq and Syria to join the Islamic State already, with about half returning.

The report explained such procedures fall into one of two categories, generally.

The first teaches to jihadis that certain criteria must be met before jihad is declared, such as authorization from the properly appointed Islamic leader.

“This is the approach used in countries such as Saudi Arabia. However, classical Islam itself is part of the problem. It teaches that Muslims should rule non-Muslims and Shariah enforced on the whole world with non-Muslims given an invitation … to accept Islam, before jihad is declared on them until [they] submit and accept either conversion to Islam, dhimmi status (for Christians and Jews) or death,” the report said.

In the second, psychological counseling is used, the report said.

“The problem here is that though returning jihadis may well have some psychological problems, the primary motivation for them engaging in jihad against non-Muslims in theological. Thus mere psychological counseling does not solve the problem.

“It is significant that in the years following 9/11 public figures who refused to accept that there was any link between Islamic theology and violence ascribed Islamist terrorism to ‘socio-economic deprivation’ in Muslim communities. Now the current trend is to ascribe it to ‘mental health problems.’

“Whilst this may be true in some cases, there is also a serious risk that it represents a dangerous denial of the truth – that it is particular interpretations of Islamic theology that are the primary motivations behind groups such as Islamic State – as they themselves openly acknowledge in their literature,” the report said.

In the U.K., one of the highest profile Islamist attacks came in 2013 when Lee Rigby, a British solider, was murdered in an public street attack by Islamists Michael Adebolajo and Michael Adebowale.
