Al-Qaeda Member Turned MI6 Spy: ‘Deradicalization’ of Terrorists Doesn’t Work

33

It’s what my colleagues and I have warned of for well over decade. Maybe the elites will listen to an al Qaeda terrorist.

I have written extensively on the inherent failures of jihad de-radicalization programs. How can a program claim to address the ideological motive behind acts of war without addressing the ideology? “Putting these people in jail means radicalizing them even more.”

Al-Qaeda Member Turned MI6 Spy: ‘Deradicalisation’ of Terrorists Doesn’t Work

By Kurt Zindulka, Breitbart, February 9, 2020:

A former member of al-Qaeda turned MI6 spy said that there “is no such thing as a rehabilitated jihadist” and that efforts by the British authorities to deradicalise convicted terrorists will not work.

Aimen Dean, who joined the Mujahideen at the age of fifteen and was later recruited into al-Qaeda by Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, who helped mastermind the September 11th terrorist attacks in New York, said that he doesn’t “believe in deradicalisation”.

The former terrorist, who went on to work as a spy for the British intelligence service MI6, told The Telegraph that Islamist terrorists are “extremely treacherous” and that if they don’t confess and help to do “damage” to their jihadist cause of their own volition like he did, “you can’t trust them.”

“The only way [a jihadist] can demonstrate that they’ve renounced violent extremism is if they have sung like a canary and provided damaging intelligence on the networks that recruited them,” said Dean.

Dean is calling for longer prison sentences for convicted terrorists, as well as “harsher” conditions so that terrorists are unable to “congregate” while imprisoned. He says that the attempts by the British government to deradicalise terrorists “are riddled with naivety and a lack of understanding.”

“Use the deterrent of much longer sentences and make them serve the minimum in its entirety unless they show remorse and co-operation. If you need another Belmarsh, build one,” he suggested.

Following the Streatham and London Bridge terror attacks, both of which were committed by terrorists that were released early from prison, the British government of the is planning to pass emergency, retrospective legislation to end the automatic early release of convicted terrorists. Dozens of Islamist terrorists are set to be released from prison in Britain in the coming months under current laws.

The legislation would end the automatic release of terrorist offenders — but still allow for the release of inmates who have served two-thirds of their sentence after a review from the Parole Board.

Aimen Dean said that the release of terrorists in the months and years ahead means that more terrorists will try to mimic the savage attacks committed by Sudesh Amman and Usman Khan, saying “the appeal of this kind of atrocity will intensify.”

“The dangerous message Amman and Khan have sent is that if you’re a convicted terrorist, you either go out in a blaze of glory or you’re watched for your whole life,” he added.

Last week Prime Minister Boris Johnson conceded that “really very few” Islamic terrorists can be rehabilitated.

“I think, looking at the problems we have with re-educating and reclaiming and rehabilitating people who succumb to Islamism, it’s very, very hard, and very tough, and it can happen, but the instances of success are really very few,” said Johnson.

“Deradicalising people is a very, very difficult thing to do… [there is] a big psychological barrier people find it hard to get back over — and that’s why I stress the importance of the custodial option,” he concluded.

I can’t help but notice that the phrase “Islamist terrorists” wasn’t one uttered by the muslum man but inserted by the deranged author trying desperately to make it seem as if there’s some sort of good islum that discourages terrorism and persecution of the unbeliever in islum.

What ideological terrorists need is more, not less radicalization.
Analyzing the Muhammadist original scriptures at Wikiislam.net one finds that the unjust Muhammadist dogma lures recruits with the values of “justice” & “truth” & the Messiah of Muhammad would return as “just ruler”.
That is where we need to adjunct.
We must clarify that as paradoxical as it seems for the Muhammadist recruit it’s crucial to reject the injustice of unjust Muhammad like his enslavement of Africans, forced declitorization & killing of Non-muhammadists & to fight for justice & to recognize the boundaries of truth in the honesty of rejecting dogma.
It means to liberate the African slaves from Saudi Arabia to Mauritania,
protect girls from declitodirectomy & to free the people who reject the Muhammadist dogma.
& we must stop treating for example the Saudi Arabian tyrants as if they wouldn’t be terrorists & stop selling weapons to them.

Agree. Re-Elect Trump again if America has to be saved from becoming another Left/liberal garbage country like EU/UKistan

Sharia Police in Uk are not willing to protect those who speak truth about islam
http://offtrade.net/cnmnews/uk-sharia-police-wont-protect-jihadi-victims/

Instead go after those who expose the jihadi crimes and oppose their Left/Liberal supporters !

What makes this more pathetic is they have fellow MUSIMS doing the “deradicalization” therapy. If anything they are privately cheering them on while they get paid to do it. It’s a joke.

These failed “deradicalization” programs are like Alcoholics Anonymous . The only difference between a drunk and an alcoholic is that a drunk doesn’t go to those Tuesday night meetings.

Close down EVERY last mosque and ONLY allow them to re-open when muslims agree to allow a Christian Church and or Jewish Synagogue to be opened in a muslim country on a one for one basis with GUARANTEES their adherents will not be harassed or prosecuted – Be a cold day in hell – which is just fine..

That sounds more fair Volks but I would just prefer never to have to look upon their faces ever again.
The damage they have already caused is totally unforgivable and I for one can not bear sight nor sound of the rabid rats.

To monitor one of these ISIS “returnees” it needs at least 1 professional.
A single ISIS “returnee” spreads fear and terror among at least 1000 ordinary people …
ISIS fighters are not returning from war!
They have never fought for their own country, but are murderers and war criminals who must be condemned and imprisoned for the rest of their despicable lifes in the countries in which they fought against the local people.
Such murderers and terrorists must never again enter their country of origin.

Deradicalisation of Muslims using the “element 82 exorcism of evil” always works.

Islam knows that anyone martyred while politically killing infidels has never come back saying the promised reward of 72 virgins is untrue. So butchery of infidels to obtain eternity in paradise is increasing over 1,400 years and can only be eliminated if you kill them before they kill you.

What in the name of intelligence is a former terrorist doing being employed by MI6??!!!

His language gives away his wiring.

He’s still very much a threat. Read his words. He’s telling you he’s a threat because he is.
