From Jihad to Rehab and Back Again
I am currently writing a paper for school on militant Islamism in Yemen. Two of the leaders of al qaeda in Yemen are graduates of both the Guantanamo Bay prison program and the Saudi jihadi rehabilitation program. In rehab they color pictures which apparently has the effect of no longer wanting to kill the infidel. Here is a link to a video that shows the softer side of jihadists. Yemen views the Saudi jihadi rehabilitation program as a model to follow. Half of the remaining prisoners in Guantanamo Bay are from Yemen. It would be very unwise for President Obama to return these prisoners to Yemen. Which is why he will probably do it. The recidivism of dead terrorists is 0%, it is also very difficult for terrorists who are locked in high security prison to commit future acts of terrorism. Maybe we should keep them locked up instead of hoping that they are cured with crayons. After all "war is deceit" according to Muhammad. Is it at all possible that the jihadists just pretend like coloring is way more awesome than jihad, then once they are free they continue the jihad?
