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

Australia: Muslims in maximum security prisons given microwaves for Ramadan

Jun 12, 2017 12:54 pm By Robert Spencer

“The special feasts they are getting is really upsetting the other prisoners.”

This also leads to more conversions to Islam, as the non-Muslim prisoners want the microwaves and specially prepared meals as well. What could possibly go wrong?

“Prison tension as Muslim inmates in maximum security jails are given microwaves for Ramadan,” by David Hurley, Herald Sun, June 12, 2017 (thanks to Kenneth):

UNREST is growing inside two of Victoria’s maximum-security jails over Muslims being given taxpayer-funded microwave ovens in their cells during the period of Ramadan.

Inmates at Barwon and Melbourne Assessment Prison who identify as Muslim have the microwaves in their cells so they can heat their food up after sunset, the Herald Sun can reveal.

Strict fasting is observed betweendawn [sic] and sunset during Ramadan, which runs from May 26 to June 24.

It is understood the issue has caused unrest among non-Muslims within the jails.

About 9 per cent of Victoria’s total prison population is Muslim, but the Herald Sun has been told around 20 per cent of the state’s maximum-security prisoners are Muslim.

A source said: “The Muslims in those prisons have microwaves in their cells.

“They have been given the microwaves and are given specially prepared meals,” the source said.

“These meals are really good quality, like what you would find in a nice Turkish restaurant in Sydney Rd.

“The special feasts they are getting is really upsetting the other prisoners.”

The microwaves will be taken away once Ramadan ends.

Insiders claimed some Muslim prisoners observing Ramadan had been excused from work duties but were still picking up their pay — but Corrections Victoria has denied this.
The taxpayer-funded microwaves have caused unrest in the prisons.

“Some of them don’t have to work … they are just sitting there doing nothing and they still get paid,” the source said. “It’s causing friction inside.”…

    This is absolutely absurd. I thought in jail that you were supposed to lose rights. If you commit a crime, you shouldn’t get special treatment.

      Tell that to the UK prison authorities!

    If the rules require religious accommodation, cook the food in the kitchen (as with everyone else’s), somewhat before both Sunup and Sundown.

    Serve on trays at their cells–same service provided to all the other maximum security prisoners.

      Considerate, and fair-minded, and sensible. So not likely to happen.

      I suspect the cooking staff don’t want to get to the prison before sunup.

    Now what can be constructed from a microwave, Warden? You might be surprised!!
    For the record our guys in a POW Camp of the Japanese created a workable radio from a potato copper +1more element in WW2. It’s not an urban legend check it out. The microwave won’t be hard to figure out

      Exactly! With nothing else to do all day, I’m sure the prisoners have plenty of time to come up with ideas:

      How about this article? https://mad-science.wonderhowto.com/how-to/turn-microwave-oven-transformer-into-high-amperage-metal-melter-0140772/

      “In this project, you’ll learn step by step how to modify a microwave oven transformer into a high-current device that can pump out 800 amps of electrical current, which is enough amperage to melt metal.”

    “The microwaves will be taken away once Ramadan ends.”

    Sold on the used market or “disappeared”? Let’s get real, they will be wearhoused and back in Ramadan service next year. After once giving a special perk to adherents of the supreme political religion, it would be Islamophobic to withdraw it – that could result in demonstrations and the death of some infidel.

      They will be converted into an arsenal of shivs first.

    The special treatment Muslims get in prison will turn them into better human beings when they are released.

      !!!!! – you can’t honestly, hand on heart, believe that? It’s sarcasm I hope?

    A great way to “celebrate” rama-ding-dong is by cooking or smoking bacon, pork chops, pork rinds, sausage, smoked ham and bratwurst from sun-up to sun-set, along with making ham sandwiches, and if you enjoy salads, plenty of bacon bits on a salad.

    I was not surprised. We are talking about Imam Daniel Andrews’ prisons here. Keeping the Jihadis comfortable and well looked after…

    The specially prepared meals would be enough for most to fake a conversion. Add getting paid without working and a free microwave? The whole place could end up converting. Seems only logical.

    Those microwaves should have come with a freshly heated cassoulet inside for the Muslims.
    LOL

    Can you say boom, explosion’s in prison/ Muslim inmates blow up prison in jihad attack killing non Muslim inmates and prison guards all due to kiss ass lets not offend Islam by giving them microwaves during the madness of Ramadan.

    Just another piece of political bastardry from that most politically correct of Australia’s sates, Victoria. Quite frankly I’m surprised they haven’t given a grant for the evening study of halal cooking classes during the month of Ramadan. !
