it's a group offering advocacy/advice to people wrongfully targetted/arrested/imprisoned (eg Guantanamo Bay) often without trial or charges under anti-terror legislation.

whether they always get it right is a matter of debate - but the idea behind it seems sound enough to me...

they are also a capaigning group and argue - among other things - that clumsy anti-terror legislation has contributed to the radicalisation of some of those who perceive themselves to be targets. Again - a matter of debate - but not an outrageous or ludicrous claim.

many innocent people have been swept up in the anti-terror legislation. it makes sense to me that there are some people they (or you) could turn to if you thought you had been unfairly targetted/imprisoned/surveilled/tortured...

Bullshit
CAGE are a pro-Islamist pressure group using behind the enemy lines tactics to disseminate their jihadist propaganda.

I'm debating the workings of this group, clearly by taking on Jihadi John or even considering doing so with his track record of friends was tantamount to supporting a terrorist and his aims!
Oh and btw there are quite a few of those 'innocent' Gitmo inmates who slipped off the radar after release and are now lining up for terrorist groups or their support.

if they have "slipped off the radar" - how do you know this? :conf:

surely the definition of "slipping off the radar" is that you don't know where they are or what they are doing??

as for CAGE - do they always get it right - I doubt it - but then neither do you and neither do I.

Is it a worthwhile exercise to explore all the possibilities about how/why people become "radicalised"? yes - I think so - even if in the course of that debate you encounter opinions and ideas you might not agree with.

Sometimes prevention is better than cure, and I welcome any exploration of how this process of radicalisation works - many people say that trying to understand it is an important thing to be doing... and for that to happen, dialogue with those you maybe most disagree with CAN be worthwhile.

So despite the fact years ago we had the chance to study, explore and consider all this sort of stuff aka kamikaze pilots, the suicide bombers of their time, Nazi's following Hitler etc. we still need to understand the sheep mentality?
Or is all this study yet another excuse for failing to deal with these people like the rabid animals they are!
Some people find looking for good and excuses far more important the ridding the world of this vermin so the rest of us can get on with our lives in peace.
I would support a 'boots on the ground' in Iraq and Syria providing there was a no prisoner rule in force with the total destruction of ISIS as the ultimate aim!

Asim Qureshi said yesterday "It's hard to imagine the trajectory, but it is not a trajectory that's unfamiliar to us"... 'us' being CAGE.
I know it's not, unfamiliar that is.
This one particular cxnt [Asim Qureshi] personally knew not one but two sawer-off-of-filthy-kuffar-heads prior to them doing the sawing: Adebolajo and Emwazi. Adebolajo and Emwazi didn't know each other but they both knew this paragon of social justice, prior to them turning into butchers of humans.

Some smart arses criticising that he managed to get out of the country in order to be a t*@t in Syria. I think they have done a fantastic job as it's clear to me that wherever he will be, he will still be a t*@t, so it's better that he is being a t*@t in Syria, rather than the UK.

Yes these things should be explored Bish, but this cxnt Qureshi, as LLS correctly describes him, made out that British authorities turned this man into a murderous terrorist. Before they inconvenienced his travel plans he was a beautiful person. Course he was.
CAGE deserves every bit of the backlash it is receiving snd I hope the terrorist apologist wankers lose any funding they get from these shores.

According to bish they are an alright organisation and cannot be expected to get everything right. No doubt he will putting his hand in his pocket to try and meet any funding short fall.

It is pretty hard to defend the organization based on the statements its leaders have made from time to time. Support for the extreme version of Sharia (including death by stoning for adultery) is particularly offensive. If they had stuck to lobbying for freedom for prisoners held for years without charge it might be okay, but they have gone far beyond this.
