Leaving aside the rported conversion in a cell. Most comments on de-radicalisation in custody point out it is "one on one" and so very intensive. How many clerics can be found, who agree with the cause and are willing to argue?

In February 2007, in a discussion group on prisons in Western Europe no-one could cite an example of such work anywhere in the region.

So we look to the Yemen and other places for an answer.

If he has converted and the book is published - well done.
