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

Belgium faces “persistent terror threat” and a “wave of jihadism” from Muslims recruited for jihad in prison

Nov 30, 2018 12:54 pm By Robert Spencer

There is extensive jihad recruitment going on in prisons all over the West, yet neither Belgium nor any other Western country would dream of confronting this problem at its roots. In prison the beliefs that incite Muslims to jihad violence are not refuted or even acknowledged; instead, they’re only reinforced. Muslim prisoners are given Qur’ans and encouraged to pray with other Muslims, in the fond belief that this will make them less, rather than more, likely to go jihad. This is tantamount to giving Nazi prisoners copies of Mein Kampf and encouraging them to study it together. Only in the case of Islam is the ideology and belief system that landed the prisoners in prison in the first place actually reinforced in prison.

“Belgium faces a ‘persistent terror threat’ and a ‘wave of jihadism’ because prisoners are being radicalised by Islamic inmates, country’s spy agency admits,” AFP, November 30, 2018:

Belgium faces a ‘persistent terror threat’ and a ‘wave of jihadism’ because prisoners are being radicalised in jails, the country’s spy agency has warned.

The State Security Service said Belgium faces a ‘considerable problem’ of extremism in jails and that convicted terrorists continue to re-offend.

Belgium’s domestic intelligence agency warned today that the country faces a persistent terror threat, in part because of the radicalisation of prisoners.

The country has already been hit by several attacks claimed by the Islamic State group, including the bombings in Brussels in March 2016 that left 32 dead.

Attacks across the border in France have also been traced to Brussels-based cells, including the November 2015 assault on Paris targets that killed 130 people.

Some of those behind these plots have also fought in Syria, where the Islamic State is one of several extremist groups involved in the ongoing civil war.

According to the report, Belgium now has ‘a never before seen population of detainees jailed for terrorism’ that poses a greater than ever threat of ‘contagion’.

‘Taking into account the persistent recidivist tendency among former terrorism detainees, never mind radicalised common criminals, Belgium will continue to face a latent terror threat for some time to come,’ it said.

The Security Service said the Syrian war continues to serve as a ‘catalyst’ for radicalisation and to push convicted extremists back into violence.

It warned that those who will leave prison in the next three to five years could trigger ‘a new wave of extremism, even jihadism in our country.’…

    all that is required for a muslim (slave of the allah god of islam) to feel called to jihad is contained in the prayers where unity of allegiance to the allah god is extolled and unity of worship in prayer with the brothers (according to SHARIA) is allowed.

    And now Iran is quit openly supporting Terrorgroups in Near/Middle-East by sending Cargoplanes full off “wargame-toys” – aiming to destroy Israel. Tension is rising fast.
    Intolerant, backward orientated Islam never will be able, to come down to any lasting peace at any place on Earth.
    Islam remains the most aggressive ideoloy, which is treathening the still (more or less) existing global peace. Hopefully, China, Russia, South-America, Australia and others, will have to bring an end to this lamentable condition very soon.

    Muslim inmates should be given reductions per UNIT OF DEPROGRAMMING STUDIES that they successfully complete. A deprogramming course for Muslims will include 1) ethical studies to reveal the amorality of Islam 2) historical studies to reveal Islam’s lack of provenance and historicity 3) logical studies to reveal Islam’s dualism, lack of consistency and self-referential incoherence. Once these rigorous units are completed successfully, Muslim inmates will have the option of applying for a reduction of their sentence. Muslims who complete the full course (a university degree equivalency) and are able to TEACH the deprogramming material will receive a more substantial reduction in sentence.

    Here is an example of deprogramming: Box of Islam by Hamed Abdel Samad (English) – Islam & Mafia Pt. 1 – Ep 01 (1-2)
    Deprogramming Jihadists Using Historical-Ethical Argument

      Mortimer, why would you think that offering Jihadists early release if they watch videos would be a good thing? They’ll be out on the street plotting the murder of Infidels again in no time. This has happened with “deprogramming” schemes before.

      And why would you suppose that comparing Islam with the Mafia–historically accurate as it is–would lead Muslims to leave Islam? Islam set the model for the Mafia’s protection rackets and murder in the first place.

        I’m for deprogramming but not for reduced sentences.

        In a convincing way, it can be shown that the current Koran is a 10th century innovation. It is recorded in their own history. That is when the assimilation was incorporated into Islam. For example, after Syria was conquered the leading Christian of his day, John of Damascus, had an important government post, but that was in the 8th century, before the innovation.

        If the Muslim can be convinced that the current Koran is from the 10th century, you would have a good chance of deprogramming. There is strong historical evidence that this is the case.

        Not all Muslims will give up violence, but some will.

        In addition, we still have Korans from the 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th centuries. Those are the Korans that should be distributed in prison. They are more valid than the 10th century Koran, because the earlier Korans are the ones that Mohammed proclaimed as valid.

      As has already been proved, they have been released after deprogramming and gone back to their old ways. the solution is to deport them and their families back to a Muslim country. I don’t mind if it’s from the back ramp of a plane at 20,000 ft

    Perhaps the prison officials in the U.S. who gave a “pod” to those who wanted to study the Bible and are being sued by c.a.i.r, could get with these officials in Belgium and then use what they learn to argue for what they are doing and why.

    If roaches meet other roaches, they multiply and cause more damage. if moslims meet other moslims, they encourage more death and destruction…esp in confined spaces where they feel they must be stronger than everyone else in the place. They pick on the weak infidels and promise them “rewards” for converting.

    “a ‘wave of jihadism’”

    Unlike the stand alone ideologies of Communism, Nazism and Fascism, Jihad is a core subset of Islam.

    ……………………

    Of course they do. As Dumbledore’s Army says, “Got Muslims? Got Jihad”.

    Islam is a religion, like horseshit are apples. Start with this, its a rock worshipping death cult. It doesn’t seek to get along, only murder and rape and steal. It produces nothing, yet takes everything.

    Its a weed, pull it out.

    Its a rabid dog, put it down.

    Its a murderer, a rapist, hang it till dead.

    There own history proves this true as well as our own.

    Maybe its easier on my part to just get a pair of those rose colored glasses. Seems they’re everywhere.

    Another Islamic TRUISM from the annals of the Infidel:

    The more prosperous the host infidel society, the more virulent the Islamic parasite.
    Often, apologists for Islam say that poverty is the cause for Islamic terror. In the case India, it is often said that if the prosperity of Indian society increases, the Muslims will become more progressive as the prosperity rubs off on them, In fact, the opposite is observed and this U can see from the experience of the Greater West itself. As the host infidel society prosperity increases, Muslims do not use the increase services available for their economic advancement, instead, they use these services for ADVANCEMENT OF SHARIA AND ISLAM and of course increasing their population. As the host infidel society prosperity increases, the parasiting of Islam increases.

    Secondly, the increasing prosperity of the host infidel increases the resentment and jealousy of the resident Muslims as the Koran prohibits the well being and advancement of any khafir nation…And as a result, more terror attacks happen out of plane envy, rage, grudge, and resentment.

    Moral of the story: Muslims are NOT HEALTHY for any non-Muslim society…. PERIOD!!!!
