Keith X. Ellison: set my ISIS jihadists free, Front Page Magazine, Daniel Greenfield, July 10, 2015

ISIS Jihadists locked up by the Great Satan.

Muslim leaders in Minnesota, including Democratic Rep. Keith Ellison, argue that the best way to discourage Somali-Americans caught trying to join the Islamic State (IS, also known as ISIL or ISIS) from embracing radical Islam is to allow them to remain in their communities while awaiting trial.

Also the best way to discourage serial killers is by leaving them alone with a room full of knives.

And why even put them on trial? If keeping them out of prison discourages them from joining ISIS, just think how much completely freeing them will discourage them.

I bet they’ll spontaneously break into a patriotic number like Yankee Doodle Dandy. Either that or they’ll get on a plane and join ISIS.

However, Muslim leaders in Minnesota — which has become a hot recruitment spot for terrorists — insist that young would-be IS terrorists like these should instead be allowed to return to their communities and engage in activities such as coaching youth basketball and helping immigrants fill out job applications.

Job applications… for ISIS.

But I can’t see any reason why we should lock up ISIS members when they can instead be spending time around impressionable young people while in a position of authority.

Rep. Keith Ellison (D., Minn.), himself a Muslim, spoke in favor of such a design.

“If you integrate them back into their family relationships and you have responsible faith leaders, then that’s going to be the check on them that they need,” Ellison explained. “There’s going to be people watching them, encouraging them.”

Isn’t that how they ended up joining ISIS in the first place?
