Can Terrorists Be “Deradicalized”?
Can we trust German social scientists to cure jihadists?
In the recent trial of Abdirizak Mohamed Warsame, the ringleader of a group of Minnesota Muslims who were planning to join Islamic State (IS) and possibly carry out an attack on the Minneapolis-St. Paul airport (where Warsame was employed), Judge Michael Davis sentenced the defendant to participate in a program of deradicalization. This program was to be devised and supervised by Daniel Koehler, a German social scientist who runs a center for deradicalization in his own country. Scott W. Johnson comments:
