Europe came down hard on citizens who had traveled to Syria. France shut down mosques it suspected of harboring radicals. The U.K. declared citizens who had gone to help ISIS enemies of the state. Several countries threatened to take away their passports — a move formerly reserved for convicted traitors.But the Danish police officers took a different approach: They made it clear to citizens of Denmark who had traveled to Syria that they were welcome to come home, and that when they did, they would receive help with going back to school, finding an apartment, meeting with a psychiatrist or a mentor, or whatever they needed to fully integrate back into society. http://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2016/07/15/485900076/how-a-danish-town-helped-young-muslims-turn-away-from-isis?utm_source=facebook.com&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=npr&utm_term=nprnews&utm_content=20160715
There is no one size fits all solution to this problem, but if this works for the Dane's all the better. My off the cuff instinct is that Denmark's relatively small population and proportionally smaller number of returning fighters may be key to its effectiveness.
It will work with some people. But very little will help someone who is committed themselves to a death cult.
For members in far off lands who might not be familiar with NPR, it is an insipid echo chamber for the liberal left. Take anything it reports with a large grain of salt.
If only it was that easy...you'd have no criminals with this thinking...SciFi writers know that this approach only works with 're-education' a new mind washing to cleanse the old...unless you are prepared to go that far you are living a dangerous dream, that will bite you in the arse sooner rather than later...
