Stop Islam

Dieser Beitrag erschien am 9.3.2008 auf Gegen den Strom auf blog.de. Da ich Grund zur Annahme habe, daß mein Blog dort kurz vor der Löschung steht, transferiere ich alle Beiträge hierher.

Nun ist es vorbei. Nichts kann den Untergang mehr aufhalten. 1500 Jahre Religions- und Kulturgeschichte sind am Verglühen und noch hat es keiner bemerkt.
In Saudi-Arabien sind Sozialpädagogen am Werk. Entlassene Häftlinge sprechen mit Kreide in der Stimme:

Ali Saeed al-Ghatani, 17, will head home to the resort town of Abha - four months after he was arrested making an attempt to join Iraqi militants fighting American forces. His incarceration may have been brief, but it will have been long enough for him to realise he had ‘taken the wrong path’. ‘I was angry and I was seeking adventure,’ he said. ‘Now all I want is to study and get married.’

Einer, der noch länger gesessen ist, ist noch viel einsichtiger:

Hizam, who has spent three years in prison and three months in the compound, went much further than Saeed, spending months fighting American forces near the Iraqi town of Falluja. Yet he too now insists he is reformed. ‘I am a very emotional man and I did not have a good understanding of Islam,’ he said. ‘Now I realise the wrong I did to my country and my family.’

Der “War on Terror” wird mittlerweile - ganz nach westlichem Vorbild - mit Psychologen, Soziologen und Kirchenquaxis geführt.Und natürlich wird keiner aus dem Gefängnis entlassen, bevor er keine Gefahr für die Gesellschaft mehr ist. Die Deradikalisierung ehemaliger “Irak-Reisender” als soziologischer Feldversuch:

The compound is the latest weapon of the Saudi Arabian government in the ‘war on terror’, a rehabilitation centre where young men spend months being ‘deradicalised’. The two al-Ghatanis will leave behind another 12 or so inmates - or ’students’ as the psychologists, sociologists and clerics working with them prefer - who also travelled, or tried to travel, to Iraq. Under treatment are another dozen men who have recently been repatriated from Guantánamo Bay. No one will leave the centre until they are deemed no further threat to society.

Weil das Programm so toll funktioniert, die Insassen aber noch keine profunde religiöse Ausbildung haben, stehen schon Geldmittel bereit für tiefergehende religiöse Kenntnisse und Kunsttherapien. Schließlich müssen die Sozialarbeiter Häftlinge auch außerhalb des Gefängnisses beschäftigt werden:

Al-Hadlaq has charted the lives of nearly 700 militants to help construct the programme. In common with other surveys of Islamic radicals, the Saudi research has revealed a very low level of religious knowledge, so lectures in jail concentrate on key theological areas - the Islamic theory of jihad, takfir, or excommunication, and relations with non-Muslims. On their release, the ex-prisoners are sent to the new rehabilitation centre - seven others are planned as well as a series of purpose-built prisons with capacity for 6,400 militants - where they undergo further religious instruction, psychological counselling, do team sports and even art therapy.

Schuld ist natürlich das Fernsehen, meint der Leiter der Kunsttherapie:

‘The aim is to stop them reacting in such an immediate way to images they see on the television or internet by giving them different visual languages,’ said Awad Alyami, who runs the art therapy course.

Ein Ex-Knacki bestätigt das:

Mohammed al-Fawzan was released six weeks ago and returned to his family home in the middle-class al-Shifa neighbourhood in west Riyadh. He, too, had tried to get to Iraq but had been arrested. Though once more interested in travelling to Indonesia to ‘have fun’, al-Fawzan, like most of those interviewed by The Observer, said it was images of the war in Iraq that were responsible for the change - in al-Fawzan’s case, images of an American soldier shooting an apparently wounded, unarmed and prostrate Iraqi fighter. ‘I said to myself I had to travel there and do what I could. I had only one thing in my head - to go there. If I had not seen that film I would still be in Indonesia in a nightclub,’ he said.

Erste Erfolge gibt es auch schon. Ehemalige Guantanamo-Häftlinge haben keinen Hass mehr auf Amerika:

Though he may have learned to manage his anger against the US, he can barely hide his bitterness. ‘When I left Guantánamo, I hated America,’ Abdullah said. ‘Do I hate them now? I live in Saudi Arabia. I have nothing to do with America or Americans. They have nothing to do with me. That is how I would like to keep it

Die Kuschelrehabilitation hat - abgesehen von den positiven Auswirkungen für alle Sozialberufe auf dem Arbeitsmarkt - leider auch einen Haken. Sie funktioniert nicht für jeden - für die richtig schweren Jungs geht sie wohl nicht. Oder traut sich da kein Sozialarbeiter ran?

Admired though it may be among the counter-terrorist community, there are some misgivings. Though recidivism to date has been negligible, for the moment the programme is being used only with relatively easy cases. The hard core of convicted terrorists responsible for strings of bomb attacks and shootouts in Saudi Arabia face decades of jail or execution, not rehabilitation, and it is far from clear the initiative would work with them.

Da Frauen offenbar den Resozialisierungsprozess beschleunigen, läßt sich die saudische Regierung nicht lumpen, und übernimmt die Mitgift:

After prison and the deradicalisation programme, he is now back in his old job in the Transport Ministry, has accepted the gift of a car ‘to encourage [him]’, and has found a wife - the dowry will be paid by the Saudi government. ‘I know now that I did not understand Islam and jihad,’ he said. ‘Now I still care about what happens in the world, but I understand that political things are the responsibility of the government and I should not get involved. I am a soldier of the government. I should obey their orders and those of their representatives, even the traffic police.’

40 Jahre nach 68 ist es geschafft, was ein Bush-Clan und abertausende Missionare nicht geschafft haben. Der Islam ist unterminiert, infiltriert und zerfällt in seine mittelalterlichen Einzelteile. Wer hätte das gedacht?
Danke, Joschka Fischer, Dany Cohn-Bendit % Co!
