Imprisonment, followed by recantation of violence, has become almost a trend in several jihadist groups, notably the 20,000-strong Egyptian Islamic Group, factions of the al-Jihad Organization in Egypt, and smaller groups like the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group. Leading figures in armed Islamist movements have not only abandoned political violence, but have also de-legitimized it as a means for social and political change after spending periods in prison.
遭到监禁后公开宣布放弃暴力，已近乎成为几个圣战组织，特别是拥有20，000多人的埃及伊斯兰组织、埃及圣战组织分部和利比亚伊斯兰战斗组织等小型组织的一种倾向。伊斯兰运动领导人不仅放弃政治暴力，而且在度过一段铁窗生涯后承认以暴力实现社会和政治变革为非法。比如在数十年时间里一直扮演基地组织理论家角色的赛义德·伊玛目·谢里夫被关押几年后就出版了几本在宗教和技术层面谴责激进武装的著作。
