Via CTV News:
As parts of Justin Trudeau’s year-end-interview with CTV News have been released, he is facing growing criticism for his approach to the threat of returning ISIS fighters.
This section in particular has raised concerns:
“The prime minister also expressed his personal belief that former ISIS fighters can be de-radicalized in the event that they return to Canada. In a recent interview on CTV’s Question Period, Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale said he believed the likelihood of reintegrating former ISIS fighters is “pretty remote.
However, rather than support Goodale’s common-sense view, Trudeau said,“There’s a range of experiences when people come home. We know that actually someone who has engaged and turned away from that hateful ideology can be an extraordinarily powerful voice for preventing radicalization in future generations and younger people within the community.”‘
There is a whole lot of assumptions in that statement. How does he know that jihadists returning to Canada have turned away from radicalization. How many returning jihadists have been rehabilitated? Is there rehabilitation on the field after the raping and pillaging and murdering is done? How does that work?
I’m not the only one with questions.
