Baker III Institute for Public PolicyIn the past 10 years, the rehabilitation of Muslim radicals has become a pressing issue. Great numbers of radicals have passed in and out of various incarcerating institutions and are returned to their societies where they frequently rejoin radical groups, sometimes more radicalized and technically proficient than they were prior to their incarceration. Both Muslim and non-Muslim governments have sought different methods to rehabilitate radicals, ranging from arranging debates between radicals and mainstream Muslim religious elite to confronting them with betrayals and denunciations by relatives, friends, and associates. There are also full-scale ﾓreeducationﾔ camps. This policy paper will seek to evaluate these methodologies and propose for the United States a workable policy for re-integrating radicals into society, thus defusing the power of recidivismItem Review of Ahmed Rashid's Jihad: The Rise of Militant Islam in Central Asia(Oxford University Press, 2003) Cook, DavidItem Review of Anat Berko's The Past to Paradise: The Inner World of Suicide Bombers and their Dispatchers(Routledge, 2008-12) Cook, DavidItem Review of Geoffrey Regan's First Crusader: Byzantium's Holy Wars(Cambridge University Press, 2004-11) Cook, DavidItem Review of Mercedes Garcia-Arenal's Messianism and Puritanical Reform: Mahdis of the Muslim West(Cambridge University Press, 2008) Cook, DavidItem Review of Mia Bloom's Dying to Kill: The Allure of Suicide Terror(Phi Alpha Theta National History Honor Society, 2007) Cook, DavidItem Review of Michael Bonner's Jihad in Islamic History: Doctrines and Practice(Middle East Institute, 2007) Cook, DavidItem Review of Russell Gmirkin's Berossus and Genesis, Manetho and Exodus(Wiley, 2007-01) Cook, DavidItem Suicide Attacks or "Martyrdom Operations" in Contemporary Jihad Literature(University of California Press, 2002-10) Cook, DavidMartyrdom operations are a factor in contemporary radical Islam. These operations have their roots in classical jihad literature, but fundamentally are a by-product of widespread frustration and perceived humiliations on the part of Muslims.
