Wacky jihad therapy failed to 'cure' plane-bomb plotter

A cushy Saudi Arabian "rehab" center where terrorists are encouraged to express themselves through crayon drawings, water sports and video games is under scrutiny after one of its graduates re-emerged as a leader in the al Qaeda branch claiming responsibility for trying to blow up an airliner on Christmas.

Said Ali al Shihri -- a former Guantanamo Bay detainee who now heads the terror group al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula -- obviously didn't get to the bottom of his America-hating issues while undergoing the controversial rehab for jihadists.

Inmates like Shihri are supposed to while away the days playing ping-pong, PlayStation and soccer in hopes that the peaceful environment will help them cope with their jihadist rages.

I have a better therapy, courtesy of the Christmas bomber who showed the way.

Just think, all those virgins and nothing with which to pleasure them.

This is the stupidest thing I have ever heard--play therapy for committed, murderous ideologues.

Someone has got to be kidding. Onion, right?

We need a new stimulus:

Crayons for Terrorists.

Sadly, this would gain approval from most dems. Insanity!

No joke....heard this on Fox a few days ago.

With programs like this, it appears countries even like Saudi Arabia has lunatic dems now.

We wish it was the Onion. I heard it on Fox the other day for the first time. Couldn’t believe it. They were calling it “art therapy”. Whoever the idiot is that came up with this idea needs to be fired.

Now you tell me while I’m working on my Ph.D in Art Therapy! Thanks for nothing!

I’ll bet if someone could get their hands on the drawings those mutts produced we’d see pictures of burning buildings, exploding planes, beheaded corpses ... “that’s it, Achmed, get out all that hostility through your art. Now don’t you feel better?”

The only proven jahidi therapy known to have a positive effect

We’re just not serious. This is the same country that sent a “mommy of three” to lead the CIA team on the Afghan-Pak border. The CIA team that just got blown up.

We’re just not serious.
