Toronto mosque offers 'detox' for extremists (12-step program)
National Post ^ | February 11, 2009 | Stewart Bell

A Toronto mosque is offering a "12-step extremist detox program" for radical Muslims that its director says is the first of its kind in Canada.

The Specialized De-radicalization Intervention program is intended to provide "treatment and counselling" to young Muslims sympathetic to the al-Qaeda ideology.

The Muslim leaders behind the program say they want to help parents concerned about the radicalization of their children and also assist courts dealing with terrorism-related cases.

"As Canadians of Muslim faith, it is our ardent desire to become leaders in the championing of anti-terror values," said a document outlining the program, which is based on the idea that extremism can be fought theologically, by challenging the dark extremist vision with an alternative interpretation of Islam.

....

Masjid el Noor's 12-Step Extremist Detox Program:

1 Who is Allah: His Mercy to all.

2 Using verses from the Holy Koran that speak of peace and good conduct.

3 Who is Muhammad: His mercy, kind manner, humble attitude, wisdom, patience.

4 Using hadith: Commentaries that provide ethics and other moral training.

5 Using stories of Companions: A knowledge-based life of academic pursuit.

6 Stories from history: Contexts and underlying factors, not always glory of God.

7 Islamic scholarship: What it seeks for the individual to know, and how.

8 Abrahamic Faith: The interconnectedness of Judaism, Christianity and Islam.

9 Other faiths: Common ground, not fighting ground.

10 Open society of Canada: What it means for the majority (how to reconcile dogmatic idealism with pragmatic realism).

11 Seeing the whole as one: Global challenges affecting us all.

12 Advocacy: Actively countering extremist ideology through education, public speaking and writing.

It’s a ploy to keep the welfare checks coming in, their kids in school and their mosques be left alone.

Hilarious.

I've heard the first step is admitting Islam is a problem.

If (B.?) Hussein (Obama?Soetoro?Dunhem?) came up with
this idea, Muslim terrorists would run the program.
