Spotlight on Denmark - Moderate Muslims Versus Radical Muslims

This article is very sad. On an Oprah Winfrey show, she once declared that the Danes were the happiest people in the world. That was then. This is NOW.
The current situation is summed up in this one statement:
* “Denmark offers its citizens full participation in the political process. Some accept; some choose terrorism despite the offer.”
In his article titled “Denmark Wants To Rehabilitate Islamic Radicals — But Is It Failing?”, Jeffry V. Mallow paints a dim, almost dark picture of life in Denmark for Danes who want to co-exist in peace versus Danes who don't!
Denmark tries to integrate all members of society — including Muslims. Does the Copenhagen attack prove that the effort to rehabilitate radical Islamists is failing?

I wish them good luck. There are about 2000 French fundamentalist Muslims fighting with ISIS actually. They are not migrants but born in France from French Muslims parents or are Catholics converted to Islam. All have been in French schools and are knowing perfectly our western values, but they are rejecting them. Quite all of them have parents not fundamentalist at all. We have certainly failed, but it is difficult to tell where. If we knew how to "rehabilitate" them we would do it. Hats off to Denmark if they manage to obtain a positive result.

Yes. It is a daunting and overwhelming challenge. Hope they can achieve and set the example worldwide for others to follow.

First of all, before you can “offer” a process of rehabilitation to anybody that person has to REPENT. If the person doesn't have a change of heart and decide, on their own, they want to set themselves on a course to turn their life around and to turn away from the radicalized lifestyle choice and commitment they chose, you're not going to rehabilitate them. But you can extend the “olive branch” or offer rehabilitation. Why not?

@Auntylou - She can talk from prison. The Apostle Paul wrote epistles from prison. People write books from prison. People rehabilitate themselves in prison. Her body is in prison. Her mind is free. If she can escape from Syria, she has no doubt proven herself to be quite resourceful. If she's going to be speaking against ISIS, maybe prison is actually a safe place for her to be. Just sayin'.

@cmoneyspinner There is one teenage girl who went to Syria and at first used to blog and try to get others to go. Then she realised that it was in fact a terrible way to live and escaped,but she is now being prosecuted. If it were me i would have had her talking to young people about the awfulness of ISIS rather than putting her in prison
