While the good intentions of that mission are beyond reproach, the emerging science of deradicalization is not. Koehler is upfront about how little evidence supports the notion that programs like his can weaken extremist movements: He admits, for example, that despite years of deradicalization efforts in Germany and plenty of individual success stories, the number of hardcore neo-Nazis in the nation has remained static.

Though Koehler’s research has revealed a great deal about how to guide people away from poisonous ideologies, that guidance requires such huge amounts of time and money that it can only have a limited impact. And since the science of deradicalization is so new, we don’t yet have a clear sense of what factors might cause the “graduates” of programs to backslide; in a world in which extremist propaganda and recruiters are always just a broadband connection away, re-radicalization is a constant threat.

I say throw the book at them and let them rot in prison. ISIS fanboys can't be saved.

The thought that these psychos who were fantasizing about committing mass murder may soon be free men is scary.

Sentencing started today.

Abdullahi Yusuf - time served, sent to rehab/deradicalization program.
Abdirizak Warsame ( ISIS Amir) - 30 months.
 
These terrorists were going to kill, rape and maim people Muslim, Christian, Syrian, Iraqi, British, American, Canadian you name it. The world was at stake and their sentences should have reflected that.
