Saudi Arabia's rehabilitation centres for extremist, or those attracted to extremism, are enjoying success: "'To deradicalise them we need to gain their trust and we need to help them restart their lives,' said Abdulrahman al-Hadlaq, a Ministry of Interior official involved in the programme, under which former radicals are found jobs and helped to pay for cars, marriages and accommodation. 'This is not a reward. It is a necessary policy of containment.'"
Saudi Arabia's serious and systematic approach recognises the complex factors that can lead young men into extremism and is countering them with education, psychology and practical help.
