"It's always case by case," the spokeswoman explains, but a Canadian intelligence spokesman cautions that "studies carried out in other countries show prisoners who have been converted to radical Islam 'may appear to have their feelings under control, but are eaten up with anger and resentment.'"
"Radical Islam spread in prisons: Report," by Fabrice de Pierrebourg for the Toronto Sun:
MONTREAL -- There are no plans to isolate prisoners with connections to terrorism in order to avoid the possible indoctrination of the other inmates to radical Islam, a spokesman for Public Safety Minister Stockwell Day said yesterday.
"It's always case by case," spokesman Melissa Leclerc said. "The prisoners are evaluated upon their arrival. Everything depends on their degree of risk, their needs, and on the rehabilitation programs."
Leclerc was responding to Sun Media reports yesterday that Canada's secret service is concerned by this new phenomenon in our federal prisons -- the recruitment and indoctrination of prisoners into radical Islam.
The concerns were unearthed in a "secret" report from the Integrated Threat Assessment Centre, prepared in January 2007 and obtained by the Sun Media's Montreal newspaper, Le Journal.
'RECENT PHENOMENON'
Although this problem is well documented in other countries -- especially in Europe -- it's a "recent phenomenon" in Canada, says Manon Berube, spokesman for the Canadian Security Intelligence Service.
"Canada will not escape the phenomenon of terrorism from within, including indoctrination and exhortation to adopt al-Qaida's violent ideology," she said.
From that, one may infer that Canadian authorities are, along with so many others, operating on the mistaken assumption that al-Qaeda has distorted the teachings of an otherwise peaceful religion.
The "secret" report revealed that 59% of individuals imprisoned on terrorism-related charges are mixed with other prisoners -- the exception being Milhaven maximum security prison in Bath, Ont.
The rest are kept in isolation, "more often for their own protection than as part of an anti-terrorist policy," according to the heavily censored 13-page report.
It notes that studies carried out in other countries show prisoners who have been converted to radical Islam "may appear to have their feelings under control, but are eaten up with anger and resentment."
....the reason many of those are convicted and sent to prison is because they are violent, morally corrupt and just stupid and they got caught doing violent, morally corrupt and stupid things....just the type of things that appeal to Islam ....a match made in the fantasies of MUSLIM minds....and errr...prison cells.....and unfortunately, for honest, caring , loving ,and law abiding citizens, the thugs are routinely released from prison....free to prey upon them once again....only now, the thugs have new agendas and now receive money, weapons, and targets supplied by Islam....
Ban Muslim Immigration...
Tis a mistake not to isolate them and deport them as soon as possible.
However Minister Day is no fool. He likely understands the toxic nature of these retards for islam and (to quote the misguided Marx) gives to each according to their need.
The givee is thereafter likely relegated and dealt with.
If John Edwards were president, he would send all the Gitmo prisoners to US federal prisons on the mainland. If they were not bailed out by Saudi billionaires, they would have an opportunity to recruit more followers to their anti-American jihad!
Edwards has proposed to allow the Gitmo detainees to sue the US Government for wrongful detention. That would be a windfall for his criminal defense attorney colleagues.

Canadian society is what looks to me as full spectre of... the left. The Canadian right wingers are so to the left that every real right wing idea seems like a heresy to them.
The idea of sending terrorists to separate pens is the right idea in both senses, but obviously it's way too right.
Alas, it's going to get worse, thanks to our conservative leaders, and if the liberals will ever get back in power, it's going to get a whole lot worse...
==>a Canadian intelligence spokesman cautions that "studies carried out in other countries show prisoners who have been converted to radical Islam 'may appear to have their feelings under control, but are eaten up with anger and resentment.'"
In Christianity, these symptoms would be consistent with someone who is demon-possessed.
Hi Charles,
Hope you are wrong - about Cdn right wingers being so far to the left.
Will consider that view. Thanks.
They should be free to proselytize...
...in Mecca.
Period.
Just as the poster exsgtbrown keeps saying "Ban Muslim Immigration" I will continue to say "Exile them" every time a story like this appears. I'm sure Canada has some nice cold spots in the extreme north where this riffraff can be sent. Beats worrying about this problem, it's more effective than deportation and less severe than killing them all. Plus jihadists who are citizens also can be treated just like their incoming foreign born "brothers".
Although I wholehartedly support the idea of sending Canadian criminals to the remote areas of the North, where they should be given toothpicks and made to shovel snow with them, I doubt that it would be the best method of dealing with the mojos.
What I think has to happen is there must be changes made to immigration policy in order to simplify and streamline the process of deportation of convicted terrorist and terror supporters.
It takes some ridiculous number of years to deport anyone. Only when all bloodsucking lawyers and 'civil servants' sucked enough money from taxpayers in the process, the deportee is actually propelled in the general direction of where he came from. But in some cases I observed amazing expedience - a witness to a case of police brutal beating was expelled within a period of no longer than a couple years. So it is possible!
ISLAM - CHOSEN RELIGION OF VIOLENT CRIMINALS AND PSYCHOPATHS!
What a surprise!
