In Britain, they’ve dispensed with the debate about whether or not Islamic terrorism is a criminal or military challenge. Today, in a new strategy document, the British government has announced that terrorism is really more of a social work challenge. Here the Guardian:

It cites the example of a community based programme in Leicester that is already mentoring “vulnerable individuals” using techniques including encouraging them to feel more valued and to eradicate myths and assumptions which have led to them becoming alienated and disempowered.

So: these vulnerable, alienated, and disempowered folks will be bombarded with £12.5 million of Oprahesque gobbledy-gook until rehabilitated into responsible British citizens. And throughout they need not worry about falling afoul of the law:

One potentially controversial element of the new document states that it is “an important assumption” of this diversionary work that vulnerable individuals involved will not face prosecution. “We do not want to put through the criminal justice system those who are vulnerable to, or are being drawn into, violent extremism unless they have clearly committed an offence,” the report says.

That is indeed “potentially controversial.” It’s also actively suicidal. The British system that has provided sanctuary and state benefits to terrorists and their multiple wives is now announcing that Islamists can forgo criminal prosecution by declaring their “vulnerability” to Islamism. And just what renders one vulnerable?

The profile includes those who have experienced trauma through migration or asylum; those who have gone through a personal crisis such as divorce, family estrangement or time spent in prison; and those frustrated by having a job way below their perceived skills or education.

Anything seem to be missing here?
