Saudis cure jihadism
The Christian Science Monitor writes about a kind of rehab center founded by the Saudis to cure jihadists with art therapy, water aerobics classes, ping-pong, Jacuzzis, and gourmet chefs at the Mohammad bin Naif Counseling and Care Center. The article claims that they have an 88% success rate and that they’re treating 250 reformed terrorists;
In a three-month program, crafted and advocated by current Crown Prince and Interior Minister Mohammad bin Naif, Saudi officials transfer former jihadists from the kingdom’s five high-security correctional facilities who have completed their jail sentences to the care center on the outskirts of Riyadh.
The program employs a team of clerics, theologians, and shariah experts to correct “misconceptions” spread by jihadist ideology and guide patients to the “true path of Islam.”
Armed with dozens of hadiths, or sayings, from the prophet Mohammad and volumes on Islamic jurisprudence dating back to the 8th century, religious experts spend daily sessions with patients to debunk jihadist groups’ various claims.
From a recent article in Al Riyadh;
A total of 30 persons were recently graduated from Prince Mohammed bin Naif Counseling and Rehabilitation centers in Riyadh and Jeddah respectively, it was reported here today. A security spokesman at the Ministry of Interior said that 13 persons who previously followed the deviant thought were graduated from Riyadh-based Prince Mohammed bin Naif Counseling and Rehabilitation Center while 17 were given clearance by Jeddah-based twin facility after having benefited from the religious, social, psychiatric, historic, scientific, sports, technical, vocational programs, symposia and lectures.
OK, well, another way to combat “deviant thought” is to shut down the sources of deviant thought. If the madrases weren’t allowed to teach the message of the jihadists, there wouldn’t be a need for rehabilitation. But, I’m just thinking out loud here.
Wiki says that the rehab center claimed 100% success rate until a couple of their grads released a threatening video and the government had to go out and re-arrest and re-educate nine other graduates of the program.
That all might work over there in the region, but I have a hard time thinking that it would work here. Prospective jihadists are already awash in luxury, compared to their Middle East brethren. Our culture is so broken, this kind of rehabilitation would never work. Take, for example, Zubeidat Tsarnaev, the mother of the surviving Boston Bomber;
Tsarnaev, who currently lives in Dagestan, insisted that her sons were being preyed upon by America for protecting Muslims throughout the world. (She’s claimed that her sons were set up ever since the bombing occurred.)
“May god bless those who helped my son,” she wrote to a support group on the Russian social media VKontakte, according to Vocativ. “The terrorists are the Americans and everyone knows it. My son is the best of the best.”
Says the woman who lived in the lap of luxury at the expense of the American taxpayer.

There is an alternative therapy which involves 185 gr. JHPs and cranial cavities… I understand it has a significantly higher success rate – 0% recidivism, no clinic capacity issues.
+500,000
I’d be willing to contribute materials and labor.
THANK YOU! My first thoughts exactly on reading this article.
You can save the bullet if you apply the kinetic energy through the use of a 5lb sledge hammer. It’s similar to the old school slaughterhouse technique…powerful blow to the front of the cranium and the velocity and mass carry through to a devastating, life ending blunt force trauma to the brain pan.
A sledge kept clean and oiled can be re-used for almost all of eternity for this purpose especially these days with the synthetic handles.
A big ROGER THAT! Thanks David.

This article makes a hell of a lot more sense when you replace the word “rehab” with “relaxation.”
MY foolproof (IMHO) plan for rehabbing jihadi terrorists:
1. Rope.
2. Tree (or Gallows).
3. Terrorist.
Some assembly required after bacon grease is applied to terrorist.
Yep. Rinse and repeat.
No rinse. Just repeat. Don’t want to wash off the bacon grease.
The major cause of violent Islam is the spread of Wahhabism, which is state sponsored by Saudi Arabia. They didn’t mind sending their vermin outside of the country, but once it started to directly effect their own Kingdom it became a problem. They don’t want to stop paying for it, because they’re afraid of the backlash, but they also see that it’s no longer under Saudi control. They condone the terrorism, they just don’t condone the terrorism against themselves.
Man, I hope that works. Generational Terrorism is the problem. You guys know the biblical stuff about ‘sins of the father’ – people in just about ANY condition pass those perspectives to their kids. That’s tough to beat short of killing everyone.
I’ll give them points for trying. My gripe would be that they’re about fifteen years too late.
Saw this article a few days ago and I just though “it’s like post deployment leave, except paid for by someone else”. Wonder how long before most of these guys go back into a training cycle for their next “deployment”?
What about French cuisine cooking classes, aroma therapy and mint leaf tea afternoon counselling sessions?
As much as I believe that anyone can change and all, I think that the best cure for jihadism or any other idiotic extremism is either electro shock or high velocity lead poisoning…
Don’t forget to get them a job too…
Zubeidat Tsarnaev(a?) can get fucked. Her baby boys were ratfuck shitbags. One is now a dead ratfuck shitbag. The other one will be in a couple of years, if they handle him like that cocksucker McVeigh (may he be assraped in hell).
So who else clicked on the link and assumed it would be a story about mass executions in SA?
Didn’t you get the memo? Defeating Islamic extremism is all about “teh jobs” man.

Those reformed jihadis needs jobs that integrate them back into society, can ya dig it?
Yeah, but the ones who get their cabesas lopped off are typically not Saudis or Wahabbis…they are poor fuckers who run afoul of the religious police…
I thought they meant the other kind of “cure”
cure /kyo͝or/ verb
preserve (meat, fish, tobacco, or an animal skin) by various methods such as salting, drying, or smoking.
“some farmers cured their own bacon”
synonyms: preserve, smoke, salt, dry, pickle
“the farmers cured their own bacon”
Sounds like R&R we were doing in OIF and OEF. Or maybe even Freedom Rest in the Green Zone that some got to go to.
Perhaps they finally saw the movie Demolition Man there and figured that was a good idea? (Stallone: I don’t know why, but since I was unfrozen, all I wanna do is knit!)
I have a cure for all 250 of them and it will only take about .05 seconds. JDAM. If they know where 250 known terrorists are, why are we letting them give them R&R? Oh because KSA is an ‘ally’.
Why stop there? Have them invite ALL their fellow jihadis, wannabe and otherwise, and crash their party with a Daisy Cutter!
Or a bunker buster… or as we like to call it in the biz, a “fanny banger”.
Whats the MOS# for JDAM catcher?
CSM, or a Duffle Blog article?
