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

UK prison imams freely spreading jihad and hatred of infidels, women, gays

Apr 19, 2016 10:58 am By Robert Spencer

Of course. To try to stop them would be “Islamophobic.” British authorities continue to kid themselves, and to assume that teachings such as those described in this article are “extremist,” and that mainstream Muslims reject them. By the time they realize that this is mainstream Islam, it will be far too late. It may already be too late for Subjugated Britannia.

Muslims in prison

“UK prison imams are free to spread hatred: Preachers found to be distributing extremist literature including homophobic and misogynistic leaflets,” by Tammy Hughes and Hugo Gye, MailOnline, April 19, 2016 (thanks to JK):

Muslim preachers approved by the Government are routinely distributing extremist literature in British prisons leaving hundreds of inmates at risks of radicalisation, a leaked report has found.

The extremist review, ordered by Michael Gove last year, found extremist CDs and pamphlets in more than 10 jails in November, it was reported today.

Inspectors also found hate tracts encouraging the murder of apostates, misogynistic and homophobic leaflets and extreme Islamic literature preaching contempt for British society.

The report is said to have sparked panic among officials who are worried about being seen to have lost control of jails – but ministers have not yet approved its publication.

A leaked version of the review, which began in September under former prison governor and Home Office mandarin Ian Acheson, was published by The Times today.

The findings are understood to have sparked an urgent internal alert because of the risk of ‘severe reputational damage’ to the Ministry of Justice.

There was evidence that a large number of clerics were from the Deobandi sect, which traditionally promotes conservative anti-British ideology.

That is, it promotes Islam, but for criminally witless Daily Mail, “Islam” is good and “conservative” is bad, so if the Deobandi clerics are spreading “extremism,” they must be labeled “conservative” rather than “Muslim.”

A website promoting the Deobandi movement says loyalty is owed only to the global brotherhood of Muslims while integration into British society is denounced.

The Deobandi sect was founded 150 years ago in south Asia and Deobandi seminaries produce 80 per cent of UK-trained Islamic clerics.

The movement takes its name from the town of Deoband in northern India, but has spread around the world thanks to the movement of populations.

Leaders in the sect tend to promote a conservative interpretation of Islam, although they have also spoken out against violent extremism in the past.

One Deobandi scholar, Masood Azhar, drew adoring crowds on a visit to Britain in the 1990s where he urged young people to ‘prepare for jihad’, and is now wanted for his involvement in a deadly attack on an Indian military base.

A website promoting the Deobandi sect says loyalty is owed only to the global brotherhood of Muslims while integration into British society is denounced.

It states that to befriend a non-Muslim risks pollution while those considering marrying a Christian or Jew are warned that their ‘repulsive qualities will filter into Muslim homes’.

It adds that a woman’s place is in the home and urges Muslims to reject unIslamic acts such as music, singing, dancing, watching television, playing chess, reading novels watching drama and watching football.

But Michael Spurr, chief executive of the National Offender Management Service (Noms), has praised the movement saying that its teachings support ‘fundamental British values such as democracy, individual liberty and mutual respect’.

Chaplains at several of the prisons, who are appointed by the Ministry of Justice, were found to be encouraging inmates to raise funds for Islamic charities linked to international terrorism.

And a lack of scrutiny and weak corporate guidance meant that there was little or no assessment of the suitability of materials or the effect they would have on ‘impressionable minds’.

A Whitehall source said that the material was kept in prison chaplaincy rooms and was available for anyone to come in and pick it up.

Prisons in England and Wales held 12,328 Muslim inmates at the start of this year, of which 131 were convicted terrorists. A further 1,000 were deemed vulnerable to radicalisation….

    How is this so-called “Beobandi” “conservative” islam, which encourages the murder of apostates, misogyny and homophobia, different from “liberal”, mainstream islam?

      It is because the Imam’s SAY it is. God forbid anyone should check the facts.

    Muslims beware of the day when your Allahu Akbar clucking chickens break free of your cage and instead of defending it, returns heavily armed to the mosque to roost.

    All that hatred might just turn back upon itself.
    There have already been some examples of Muslims on Muslim trying to out-do each other’s (Allahu Akbar).

    Well, people in the UK have known about the antics of muslims in UK jails for a long time. There are so many of them locked up now, it’s no wonder. I think that UK jails must now be the world’s biggest islamic finishing school, there are enough of them ‘graduating’ whilst serving their time. The imams must have their biggest ‘captive audience’ ever (OK, that’s a rotten play on words), and they certainly make use of it. And of course the bait is all the perks and extra consideration that the Government gives them.

    Just two extra things….

    “It (the Deobandi) states that to befriend a non-Muslim risks pollution while those considering marrying a Christian or Jew are warned that their ‘repulsive qualities will filter into Muslim homes’….”

    Now there’s a funny thing. We think that THEY are utterly repulsive – but we’re not allowed to say so?

    “It adds that a woman’s place is in the home and urges Muslims to reject unIslamic acts such as music, singing, dancing, watching television, playing chess, reading novels watching drama and watching football…..”

    So everything that exercises the critical, intellectual or creative faculties is ‘verboten’? That explains why islam has made such a positive contribution to human progress. Not.

    Michael Gove, the Justice Minister, is one of the few voices who sees and tells it like it is. He is also very pro Israel.

    We know that stuff like this is going on everywhere in England – in schools, Islamic NGOs, besides in mosques. It is shocking. The government has totally lost control of the situation.

    For these people in prison, it is a wonderful opportunity to teach these prisoners good British values, and attempt to wean them off poisonous ideologies. Let prisons be where Muslims can learn to integrate with society at large and reduce their unhealthy exposure to Islam. Instead of “Imams”, they should have experienced secular social workers and counselors with the goals stated above. For some of these prisoners such a program as I advocate could become the turning point in their lives.

    And as noticed by our very good friend. Fiyaz Mughal, Faith Matters’ director, told MEE that the Muslim chaplaincy system in prisons had been a “trail-blazing” service that had been emulated in other sectors, such as healthcare and education.

    “If you start to untangle the basis of chaplaincy in the prison service then you are going to have to rip out the wiring in other sectors as well,” he said.

    “You are talking about a system that has been heavily implemented and invested in and that is actually helping the most vulnerable and the angriest prisoners.

    “In many instances it has been a bulwark providing resilience to prisoners. This is a system that actually works because you are looking eyeball to eyeball at the perpetrator and you are saying, ‘Look, I am here to support you but also to try to change your behaviour’, and that is fundamental to the whole extremism agenda.”

      Fiyaz Mughal being synonym with “mendacious grievance-mongering taqiyya artist” (thank you, Mr. Tim Burton!).

    They’re gonna’ love the new U.S. $20 bill – times are a changin’ !

      I think Tubman was an extraordinary human being. Rosa Parks would also be a good choice and she is more well known. Both stood up for their human rights. At least they’re not putting Henery Ford or some other Nazi supporting Corporate King on the $20.
