Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

UK’s four largest prisons: Muslim prisoners demand jizya from non-Muslim prisoners

Nov 1, 2015 9:12 am By Robert Spencer

“One Whitehall source told the Sunday Times that the tax may have been inspired by the actions of ISIS, who are well known to demand jizya from non-Muslims living in Syria and Iraq.” Or maybe they got the idea from the Qur’an: “Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which has been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, even if they are of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.” (9:29)

“It sets a dangerous precedent and sends a message to non-Muslim inmates that Muslims are going to run the prison according to their own rules and sharia.” Yes, and there is going to be much, much more of this precedent-setting.

Belmarsh prison

“Islamist extremists are extorting ‘infidel tax’ from fellow prisoners in some of Britain’s toughest jails,” by Tom Wyke, MailOnline, November 1, 2015 (thanks to all who sent this in):

Non-Muslim inmates in several of Britain’s category A prisons are being forced to pay a ‘protection tax’ to radical Muslim prisoners out of fear of facing violence.

The ‘tax’, known as ‘jizya’, was found to be enforced by some Islamist extremist prisoners in four of Britain’s largest prisons.

The shocking findings were uncovered by a team of government investigators, appointed by justice secretary Michael Gove last August to establish the threat posed by Islamic extremists in prisons.

The investigation suggests that religious extremists in prison are using bullying tactics and violent threats to force prisoners to convert or pay money.

Tobacco and other luxury commodities smuggled inside prisons are often used by non-Muslims to pay the tax, while some victims said they had to ask friends and family for money.

One Whitehall source told the Sunday Times that the tax may have been inspired by the actions of ISIS, who are well known to demand jizya from non-Muslims living in Syria and Iraq.

‘It sets a dangerous precedent and sends a message to non-Muslim inmates that Muslims are going to run the prison according to their own rules and sharia,’ the Whitehall source said.

Faced with the option of paying up or suffering at the hands of the radicals, some prisoners have been pressured into converting to Islam to ease their time in prison.

The investigation team examined four Class A prisons, Belmarsh, Long Lartin, Woodhill and Whitemoor, holding a total of 2,633 prisoners.

‘People at times are bullied and intimidated and harassed into becoming a Muslim and, if they don’t, are attacked,’ Steve Gillan, general secretary of the prison officers’ association.

He said: ‘There is a massive issue about radicalisation and extremism and, to be fair, the prison service is trying to address it.. Will it go away? No. I think the assumption is that it will get worse.’…

No doubt about that.

    You don’t have to go to jail in Europe to be subjected to jizya tax collecting by moslems. This extortion will increase dramatically with the wave of moslem colonists/tax collectors flooding Europe while Europe’s politicians pick their noses and rich and famous celebs in their gates mansions shout out for more.

      I see this trend backfiring when some of the former prisoners decide to blow up some mosques after leaving prison. A good indicator that this has happened will be when one blows up and there was no suicide attack.

      Well said.
      Regarding prisons, it has been known for years that mohammedans are
      disproportionately represented compared to their (alleged) numbers in
      the UK.
      As well as extortion, jizya tax is an excellent way of recruiting more
      violent criminals into the mohammedan religion.
      Saves indigenous criminals cash & legitimises their criminality as
      jihad.
      Unless we get some serious politicians running the West soon, our
      civilisation will be down the tubes.

        I would like to think this issue is presenting our leaders with a painful dilemma (and may their distress increase).

        If they admit that Muslim prisoners have to be isolated from the general population under the tightly controlled conditions of prison, what does that imply for the situation outside prison and for multiculturalism (with aggressive monoculturalists) in general?

    New Jersey prisons, especially from Princeton on up, have been run by Black Muslims at least since the mid 90’s, when I was frequent visitor to several prisons there. They had the call to prayer blasted over the PA even at midnight. Pork products were forbidden. Non Muslims were thrown into the gang-controlled general population by the guards to be murdered. Black Muslim guards were busted running drugs to Black Muslim prisoners.

    What I’m saying, Robert, is that what just started in the UK has been going on here in the states for quite awhile. And the standard Christian reply regarding the Gulag, “They deserve whatever they get”, regarding our prisoners, has been used by our fine conservative leaders as a cover for the advancement of Islam in our industrial prison complex.

    We Christians are responsible for this. If we visited those in prison as Christ commands, rather than taking a smug attitude against criminals, we would have been aware that Muhammed has already invaded our prison population, our prisoner numbers being the largest in the world both per capita and in whole numbers.

    American Christianity is condemned for our cruel stance against prisoners, and we are unaware we are even now paying the price. God forgive us.

    • Katnis says

      Nov 1, 2015 at 10:35 am

      What is anyone supposed to do with this comment? You’re blaming Christians for this? That doesn’t make sense. Muslims are demanding jizya from non-muslims. Christians don’t visit prisons. Therefore, Christians are responsible for muslims demanding jizya. If I’m missing something here, let me know.

      • Peggy says

        Nov 1, 2015 at 6:35 pm

        You’re missing plenty here. Christians in priosons are being abused and we are allowing it so yes we are to blame.
        The state has a duty of care to protect prisoners. They are serving their sentences which is their punishment but being abused in prison is NOT their punishment.
        We as a society have allowed too much of this to go on for too long.

      • Kathy Brown, Esq. says

        Nov 1, 2015 at 8:42 pm

        I agree with you Kat. Of all the absurd conclusions!

        What I wonder is why some of these loathsome muslims don’t get their as_ _s kicked by their fellow prisoners. Those in jail for violent crimes aren’t known for their restraint.

        As for the good Rev: I’d bet the rent that he also feels responsible for the [equally loathsome] ‘Black Lives Matter’ crowd. White lib guilt. Ya gotta love it…(!?)

    Every tax payer is paying jizya. We saw in wiki leaks how Muslims are far and away proportionally the highest takers of benefits within the UK.

    The Mail would rather give half their profits to the Guardian than admit that this has something to do with Mohammed.

    Perhaps they really don’t know but I would hope that at least some of their journalists come here for the real information. Hi there DM journos 🙂

    • Caroline says

      Nov 1, 2015 at 11:21 am

      The Mail will not tolerate comments critical of Islam, I got banned for an innocuous comment. I would be interested to know if it is offivial policy or down to moderators, some of whom are likely to be Muslim.

      • ECAW says

        Nov 1, 2015 at 11:31 am

        I’m sure they all have their policies. I got banned at my first visit also for an innocuous comment and they threatened to pursue me across the internet if I ever appeared again. They are much more severe than al-Graun.

        Nov 1, 2015 at 12:16 pm

        I think it might be a policy. They won’t allow any comments which are simply informative about Islam for example, comments relating what it says in certain Koran passages. They just won’t post any such comments.

      • SoCalMike says

        Nov 1, 2015 at 3:44 pm

        The Left at the MAIL like the Left everywhere in Europe, the US and Canada support the spread of Islam. That’s why they are hostile to your comments.
        In their mind you are the enemy; not Islamic Jihad. IJ is their ally.

        The Mail used to be one of the few Right Wing newspapers here in the UK. Apparently all that seems to have changed. Their headline on Saturday was about justice for a seemingly “innocent” man such as Shakar Ahmed who was incarcerated in Guantanamo Bay for 13 years without being charged.

        I wouldn’t be surprised if the arabs have bought up shares in the newspaper.

      • Jayell says

        Nov 2, 2015 at 5:16 am

        Add me to your list of ‘enemies of the Mail’. I can’t remember if it was something to do with saying that Islam is incompatible with western democracy or perhaps an outright accusation of the UK authorities & media for using contrived celebrity witch hunts to bury news about the Muslim paedophile gangs. They got REALLY nasty, so something must have touched a raw nerve somewhere. Meaning, of course, that I was on to something to get a hysterical reaction like that. So you change your screen name, borrow someone’s email account, and carry on. Good game.

          I got kicked off the Daily Express comments section years ago for posting about the behaviour of ” British” Muslims and their demands they should be exempt from British Common Law.

  6. Angemon says

    One Whitehall source told the Sunday Times that the tax may have been inspired by the actions of ISIS, who are well known to demand jizya from non-Muslims living in Syria and Iraq.

    Willingly or not, the Mail is misleading its readers. The payment of jizyia is referred to in the quran and was fleshed out in the pact of Umar, dating back to the 7th century – that’s way before ISIS.

    Let’s just forget the fancy Islamic terms, these grossly conceited! presumptions criminal b*st*rds are running an extortion racket on Crown property. This is exactly what one expects from this pseudo-human effluent and the way to deal with it is to set up specifically Muslim jails and treat them with a similar degree of consideration as they would treat non-Muslims in their own hell-holes. This means not bothering with the direction their toilets face, or indeed if the toilets work at all, their fussy dietary needs, give them a diet of pork and if they don’t like that, rejected supermarket bread (past its sell-by date) and water. That might actually send them a message that, if they can’t respect our prison regulations and other prisoners, then we’re not going to pay much attention to their quality of life. End of.

    • ECAW says

      Nov 1, 2015 at 11:35 am

      Not bothering which direction their toilets face? You fascist!

      • Jayell says

        Nov 2, 2015 at 5:26 am

        Fascist? Moi? As we’re talking about toilets shouldn’t that be ‘faecist’? (Ouch!). Anyway, I had this fantastic novelty idea for printing the Qu’ran on toilet rolls. Now, what would that do for hygiene in a Muslim-only prison!

    • Charli Main says

      Nov 1, 2015 at 1:00 pm

      Muslims strut about like cock of the walk, ruling the roost—-BECAUSE WE ALLOW THEM TO. Turn a few of them into giblets and the crowing will stop. The big stick is the ONLY thing Muslims understand.

          Hello Whocares. Well, obviously China DOES care! As I said in a recent post, I am currently enjoying the hospitality of the good people of Hong Kong, who remain delightfully UNenriched (apparently only one mosque that I noticed buried in a backstreet, just about 4 females observed with stupid headgear, no bombs, no threats, few if any Islamic beards and no stupid Islamic male clothing, everybody safe and civilised). I notice that the churches are making a big noise here, and I read a couple of years back that, with its strong ground-roots movement, Christianity is going to be a big factor in the future of China. It goes with the big Democracy thing that they’ve got here in HK, and it’s very clear that they know where the right ideas are. From your report about the dancing imams, the Chinese seem to have got Islam sussed as the load of spurious, uncivilised claptrap that it is. Did they make these imams play their own dancing music as well? Possibly ‘Twinkle twinkle little star’ on kiddies’ glockenspiels (about their level!) whilst wearing Andy Pandy hats and doing choreographed rape movements on Looby Loo? (UK readers should get that one).

    First and foremost, the biggest problem is letting them remain together ! they MUST be split up and moved to different jails, not to remain in the one they are in now, once in these new prisons they need to be segregated from other inmates, if need be this may include isolation for prolonged periods, this is to stop them having the chance to potentially indoctrinate other inmates. There must be stricter enforcement of prison rules and regulations, with NO special dispensations for them due to their religion or race, this is not discrimination, but equality, as they will be treated the same as other prisoners. ANY guards, or staff of moslem birth, or religion, should have to have further background checks, before being allowed to be in contact with these people. These are just the first basic steps in dealing with these types of rabid fanatics, there are many other issues to look at too.

  9. Cremaster says

    This problem could be dealt with easily, quickly and painlessly if there were any political and bureaucratic will to do anything about it. The take-home message is that there is NOT.

    Why of earth would you imprison Islamic supremacists with non-muslims? – Fucking Idiots!
    All inmates are guaranteed to be leaving prison (if not imprisoned for life or murdered by a muslim inside) with more criminal tendencies than they entered with…

    If I was ever imprisoned (perhaps for my Atheism in some countries) I would want to be kept in permanent isolation from the other inmates. I would never even want to meet another inmate.

    Europe today is horrible place… where life of murders and rapists and other criminals are sacred and can’t be taken (sadly there is no death penalty) …. and life of victims are not as important ….
    Where one who take life of normal people… will never be punished according to the deeds and will be released back to streets no matter how cruel and how barbaric crime was… and how many life’s was taken or crippled or broken.

    Countries are turned inside out…. where immigrants are officially >>>> than native people. Where laws not defending lives on natives and their future and their preferences and their way of life…. It is even worse everything is made to blame victims and to take work and ruin life of anyone who don’t like what is happening.

    p.s.
    youtube.com/watch?v=xkTiWCeL8CM this video shows how homeless italians are not getting support and refugees are getting houses and new clean places to live with furniture and such near that place where homeless Italians live with their kids are living….

    What sick cowards are the powers to allow prisoners in their care to be attacked by Muslims, especially when the prisoners are totally vulnerable.
    Civil war is already here, isn’t it?
    Only a portion of the natives are aware of this war that like cancer spreads.
    Time to blaspheme against this Islamic oppression, and time to blaspheme against the sick cowardly disgusting low life reincarnations of dogs in power.
    The prisoners are the most noble ones in those prisons.
    The cowardly powers and the bullying Muslims are sick beyond legal words.

  13. Satch1 says

    Nov 2, 2015 at 2:37 pm

    Any demands made by Any Muslims should be ignored! They try to overcome nations by their usury and domination and then make demands of their laws. They should be condemned and jailed for any Sharia involvements. Allah is not any deity to be honoured nor any Prophet that claims in any writings is a Liar, as Satan lied to Muhammad saying that he was Gabriel the angel and Muhammad used his words in the writing in the Koran, [Quran]. The One True God of the Jews said there will be No Other Gods before Him, YHWH and so that leaves Allah out! as well as Buddha, Confucius and all others. A Jew will rule the world and his name is Jesus Christ, a Jew who will return and destroy all those who have cursed the Jewish people. People today who are forced from their homes and valuables taken forcefully from them should be dealt with rather than being relocated in other countries that cant afford to feed and clothe them. Muhammad confessed to using Satan’s words of advice in the Koran which is a book dealing of death and destruction to their own selves, the Arab ideology to war and conquer of the world but God has Other Ideas and will show “His” Power soon as that’s All Islam recognizes today. Hell and the Lake of fire and brimstone await all that follow after this Cult religion and Satanic hate of Gods chosen people. It’s a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the Living God! Eternity, Forever is not a place to spend in the fire and torments with No escape or release!
