Britain's Home Office Has An Idea: Counseling For Terrorists

Terrorists can be turned into model citizens by the use of compassionate counselling, crystal healing and aromotherapy.



Sigh:



"Islamic extremists should get therapy," Home Office tells local councils.

Islamic extremists could escape prosecution and instead receive therapy and counselling under new Government plans to "deradicalise" religious fanatics.

The Home Office is to announce an extra £12.5 million to support new initiatives to try to stop extremism spreading. The central element of the Home Office plan is a new national "deradicalisation" programme that would persuade converts to violent and extremist causes to change their views.

Controversially, the new plan makes clear that people who fall under the influence of violent organisations will not automatically face prosecution.

Instead, the presumption should be that some such individuals would face therapy and counselling from community groups instead of criminal charges.

As if we needed more proof that many of our politicians are living in a dream world.

"The Home Office is to announce an extra £12.5 million to support new initiatives to try to stop extremism spreading."

One particularly promising approach is the creation of a large naked cybernetic organism with tight buns, which has been sent back through time in an effort to assassinate the extremist inventor of the umm-net before it can be effectively switched on. The changes are expected to begin to take effect almost immediately - although paradoxically we may never know.

Epaminondas,

You said,
"We use beef jerky to train our dogs."

I'm sorry, but what does that have to do with this?
