Hey, this latte is the bomb!
This will work. As everyone knows, jihadis just need jobs and economic opportunities, right? Teach a warrior for Allah a trade, and he will forget all about the Qur’an’s injunctions to wage war against and subjugate unbelievers. Right?
“Jihadi prisoners are being trained up as BARISTAS at a maximum security HMP Belmarsh,” by Stian Alexander, MailOnline, October 22, 2016 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
Jihadi prisoners are being trained up as baristas at a maximum security prison.
Lags at the 900-capacity HMP Belmarsh, in south London, home to some of the most volatile lags in the UK and around 100 Islamic militants, are being trained up to make frothy lattes and cappuccinos.
A number of prisons around the UK, in the hope that inmates will find it easier to land a job when released, have started barista courses after the explosion of coffee shops around the UK in the last decade.
And Belmarsh has now jumped on the bandwagon, with a barista training course starting up earlier this year.
Prison chiefs have been inundated with requests from prisoners to sign up for the six-week course, which has already seen a number of lags trained up as baristas.
The course teaches them how to serve up gourmet coffees, including lattes, flat whites and expressos – as well as smoothie and hot chocolate.
A report out into the prison this week by the Independent Monitoring Board (IMB) this week confirmed that the classes had started.
It stated: ‘The Board is pleased that the training in Barista skills has recently started.’
Belmarsh – once home to hate preachers Abu Hamza and Abu Qatada and Lee Rigby’s murderer Michael Adebolajo – was likened to a ‘jihadi training camp’ earlier this year by a former inmate.
The inmate, a Muslim graduate who was in the jail for bank fraud, said in an interview this year that prisoners were ‘brainwashed’ to ‘spread the terror message’ and that the jail was ‘run’ by a group of jihadists who call themselves ‘the brothers’ or ‘the Akhi (Arabic for brother).
The classes are part of the prison’s Offenders’ Learning and Skills Service (OLASS) programme, which aims to help prisoners gain ‘work opportunities’ when they are released.
The course, called VTCT Level 2 Award in Barista Skills (QCF), teaches students to learn to taste the difference between coffees and make other drinks, like smoothies and hot chocolate.
It states: ‘The main role of a Barista is to make wonderful coffee, but you will also learn how use equipment to make tea, hot chocolate, smoothies and juices.
‘You will develop the skills to make various types of coffee and tea that are regularly prepared for customers in coffee shops, cafés, hotels and restaurants.
‘You will learn about coffee, where it is grown, how it is processed and how it arrives ready for you to grind and brew.’
It also states that students need to learn about ‘the importance of good customer service’ and how to ‘solve the problems that arise on a daily basis when working as a barista’.
Students also need to be able to ‘describe the original and flavour’ of the coffees and other drinks on offer.
A prison worker, who has worked in jails around the UK for the past 10 years, said barista courses were the ‘next big thing’ in prisons and would take over from ‘traditional’ trades.
He said: ‘Most of the courses (in jail) cover the basic trades, like painting and decorating and bricklaying – or in women’s jail hairdressing and sewing.
‘Being trained up as a barista is the next new thing – it’s no surprise I guess with the number of coffee shops around nowadays.’
Another prison already offering a barista course to prisoners is HMP Bullingdon in Oxfordshire – and plans are in progress to expand the scheme to many prisons across the UK.
Prisoners at HMP Holloway, a 590-capacity women’s jail in north London, were due to be trained up as baristas by Pret a Manger staff, but the scheme was scrapped when it was announced that the jail was to be closed later this year.
Despite the scheme being scrapped at HMP Holloway, prison chiefs are keen to roll out barista training at other jails in the UK to help lags get jobs upon their release.
A Prison Service spokesperson said: ‘Prison should also help offenders get the skills and qualifications to make a success of life on the outside. We should see them as potential assets, people who can contribute to society and put something back….

Oh, that will work indeed! Perhaps jihadis will devise some ideas on how to use this project for the very purpose of jihad: to poison any kafir daring to ask for cappuccino. Ingenious! Use stupidity of kuffar!

what happened to their pilot training program? I hear it was going well, except for some unfortunate “accidents” http://pamelageller.com/2016/10/connecticut-muslim-pilot-crashes-plane-near-major-defense-contractor-pratt-whitney.html/

UK training jihadis at maximum security prison to be baristas
……………………..
*Baristas*? Right, like we want Jihadis preparing foodstuffs for Infidels:
“UK: Shop-owners sold chocolate cake sprinkled with human faeces”

Expect much more of the same–that is, if they don’t just decide to blow up the local Starbucks…
Cecilia Ellis says
Graven, thanks for posting that disgusting information. Remarkably, that makes the Rajneeshi episode of spraying salad buffets with salmonella sound somewhat less offensive.
Jayell says
Really? What happened there?
Veka Fitzfrancis says
Back in the 80s, I think? The Rajneesis tried to throw a local election by poisoning the salad bar of the local buffet out in eastern Oregon. There was a suggestion that the salad bar attack, which made a number of people ill and I think killed one, was a dry run. It was billed as a cult and a cult attack, but I don’t remember it being related to Islam.
Cecilia Ellis says
Jayell, the Rajneeshees were a Buddhist cult that settled in The Dalles, Oregon in the early 1980s. In 1984, in an effort to take over the local political scene, they sprayed the salad buffets, door handles, and other items at restaurants in order to make the electorate ill so that they would not show up on voting day. This event, which occurred in 1984, was the largest bio-attack in U. S. history. A lot of people got sick, but I don’t recall that anyone died. However, the primary restaurant was forced out of business and never recovered from the impact of the event.
Gray says
Those infidels tempted to patronise any of the coffee shops and restaurants where these smiling Muslim ex-cons are working might like firstly to google ‘Poisoning the Infidels with feces in UK and Us’. By no means is this an exhaustive list. There are plenty of other reported instances of this sort of thing happening to gullible infidel patrons everywhere. Caveat Emptor. Those brown bits that you see floating in the top of your cappuccino may not be chocolate.
BLC says
OMG! Does the Islamic depravity never stop? I guess not.
jayell says
Surely Islam IS institutional depravity! It’s in their book!
mortimer says
YOU MEAN THOSE GUYS WHO RAPED WOMEN, BURNT DOWN THEIR HOMES, SMASHED PRICELESS ANTIQUITIES, CHOPPED OFF HANDS, FEET AND HEADS, THREW GAYS OFF ROOVES AND OTHER SUCH ATROCITIES AND CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY?
Oh…well then come right in and threaten UK and we’ll look the other way.
Lucia Bartoli says
Well I’d not be at the jihadi café, that’s for sure!
bleeps says
I already see a economic crisis when people read this they won’t visit any coffe, starbucks as long as they know their money go supporting a jihadi criminal!
Islam the religion of killers says
“It states: ‘The main role of a Barista is to make wonderful coffee, but you will also learn how use equipment to make tea, hot chocolate, smoothies and juices.”
Alla tells mislims how to shit, they have to use their left hand, how does that work with handling food ??
The muslims are defiantely on the wrong side of the till..
An employer would be stupid to employ a muslim, there are many documented situ’s where the muslim has walked all over the employer.
I for one would be walking straight back out when seeing a muslim behind an expresso machine or food counter..
Creole Gumbo says
Guess I am not alone in immediately thinking of food jihad. Don’t ya just love it?
David says
Wait just a darn minute!
I thought mudslimes were forbidden to use toilet paper!
How are these imbeciles qualified to be anywhere near any place that sells, prepares or serves any sort of FOOD ???
This is the stupidest “scheme” ever to deprogram the “Jihadist”.
Just ship them back to the beautiful deserts they were spawned in.
Angemon says
In a country where muslims have been caught poisoning food? What could possibly go wrong?
Scott Williams says
Better not ask for a double shot cappuccino!
KrazyKafir says
Willfully blind fools. The dhimmi stooges of the western world are the real menace.
Ben says
mmm are we missing something here ? As soon as I read the title of the article, “training jihadis at maximum security prison to be baristas”:, I didn’t need to read further to see there is a problem
John A. Marre says
Would you like rape, genital mutilation, or a sliced neck with your latte?
davej says
Consuming so much caffeine in prison will really get the Brotherhood jacked up.
Who is paying for all this chocolate, fruits and fine coffees? Oh yeah, us the taxpayers.
All part of the “punishment” I guess.
Mark A says
Great. Now they can start coffee shops to fund the jihad.
Ali Bey says
Baristas for serve also alcoholic beverages or just only coffee and halal blood?
