What if deradicalisation programs are serving to BOLSTER violent extremism? | Phil Gurski

Many countries engage in programs to 'deradicalise' violent extremists or act to prevent them from going down the terrorism road in the first place. So what happens when other extremists show up seeking to recruit those being helped? In light of a case in Australia Borealis reflects on his own experience when a jihadi came to town.

Kids like that are looking for belonging, pride, to fit in, so they adopt into that culture which gives them a greater sense of purpose, the ultimate motivator.
Give them another purpose, and some sort of rite of passage to build self confidence.
Horse training camp, woodworking camp, automotive camp, etc.
