Aarhus Denmark has taken a radically different approach to handling young Muslim extremists, and it appears to be very effective. Why aren't more places doing this?
"The rest of Europe came down hard on citizens who had traveled to Syria. France shut down mosques it suspected of harboring radicals. The U.K. declared citizens who had gone to help ISIS enemies of the state. Several countries threatened to take away their passports — a move formerly reserved for convicted traitors.
But the Danish police officers took a different approach: They made it clear to citizens of Denmark who had traveled to Syria that they were welcome to come home, and that when they did, they would receive help with going back to school, finding an apartment, meeting with a psychiatrist or a mentor, or whatever they needed to fully integrate back into society.
Their program came to be known as the "Aarhus model." It's been called the "hug a terrorist" model in the media, but this description never sits well with the cops. They see themselves as making an entirely practical decision designed to keep their city safe.
As they see it, coming down hard on young, radicalized Muslims will only make them angrier and more of a danger to society. Helping them is the only chance to keep an eye on them and also to keep the peace in their town."
What makes them knuckleheads? They've managed to take kids who were at risk of turning to ISIS and help them become responsible, productive citizens who identify as Danish. Again and again, the argument is made here that immigrants need to assimilate. Here is a model for helping them assimilate.

Muslims will struggle to assimilate. They imitate the terrorist Muhammad.
Why don't we do that with rapists, arsonists, murders and the like.
What a crock of sh*t.
They have proof that this program has been successful. Hard-line approaches, on the other hand, have not shown evidence of having made society safer. What, in your estimation, makes it a "crock of sh*t"?
I sincerely doubt that all of the hugs in the world will change someone who joined a movement which tortures, beheads, rapes and enslaves other human beings.

They have no proof whatsoever. Just because someone travelled to those areas doesn't mean they were planning to become terrorists. This is unicorns and lollipop crap that the Left engages circle jerks to.
