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

Hugh Fitzgerald: Gerard Batten Suggests Muslim-Only Prisons (Part Three)

Nov 27, 2018 10:00 am By Hugh Fitzgerald

Gerard Batten should now follow up on his own suggestion, go on the offensive, appear repeatedly before the public, ideally on television, and make the following points:

First, we know that there is a very grave safety problem in prisons where there are both Muslims and non-Muslims — as there now are everywhere in Great Britain. The problem goes only one way: Muslim threats against, and bullying of, and even attacks on, non-Muslim prisoners. We know that this causes great anxiety for non-Muslim prisoners, as they have reported, and as a result, some — quite a few –convert to Islam not out of conviction, but out of fear. And as the number of Muslims in a particular prison increases as a result of these conversions, the greater the perception by the remaining non-Muslims of the danger to them, and prison conversions increase even more. The problem only worsens.

Second, to those who scoff and think this is not a real problem, I draw your attention to the reports by prison officials on the reasons for these prison conversions to Islam. They do include such things as prisoners wanting the better food that, it is rumored, Muslims receive, particularly at Ramadan, and the time that Muslims enjoy outside their cells in order to participate in communal prayers. Islam also offers the welcome discipline of its many rules. But the main impetus for conversion is fear, if we are to believe those prison officials, including guards who observe the interactions of groups of prisoners. We also have the testimony of prisoners who refused to convert, and who describe the pressures that are brought to bear on them. We should not allow such fear to pervade our prisons.

Third, we know that the Qur’an teaches Muslims to despise Unbelievers, Kuffar, non-Muslims. They are described in Qur’an 98:6 as ‘the most vile of creatures.” More than 100 verses in the Qur’an are about waging jihad, holy war, against the Unbelievers. Muslims are told to be loyal to one another, observing the principle of Al-wala’ wa-l-bara’, but hating the Infidels. They are told never to take Christians or Jews as friends. Anyone who thinks I am making this all up should read the relevant Qur’anic verses, and some of Muhammad’s more telling hadith. Are we really to ignore the texts and teachings of Islam, or shouldn’t we take them seriously, and study them with the utmost care, for they explain the hostile behavior of Muslim prisoners toward the non-Muslims, unless, of course, they are in the midst of converting someone.

Fourth, are we going to allow ourselves the freedom to discuss what prison conversions mean, both inside prisons and in the larger society, when many of those prisoners who enter as non-Muslims are then, often out of palpable fear, converted to Islam, and in turn, help to swell the ranks of Muslims, both in and, when they are released, out of prison? The prisoners who do convert, and many have violent backgrounds, tend unsurprisingly to embrace, a more extreme and violent variety of Islam. Are we  not to take note of that reality, to pretend that these prison-factories of converts should be of no worry to us? How much longer will we go on, whistling in the dark?

If it is not possible to create Muslim-only prisons, what might be acceptable? What about placing non-Muslim and Muslim prisoners in different wings, or on different floors, of the same prison? What about, as well, letting the non-Muslim and Muslim prisoners out for exercise in the prison yard at different, non-overlapping times, in order to lessen the possibility of conflict and threat? And if Muslim prisoners are allowed out of their cells for communal prayer, should not other prisoners be allowed out of their cells for an equal time, either for prayer or simply for meditation, in the interests of equity? As for the rumors about halal food being superior to the regular fare, why not take steps to end that dangerous rumor, by improving perceptibly the food the non-Muslims are given? If this is objected to, the prison authorities can explain that it was the prisoners themselves, including the Muslim prisoners, who appeared to believe that the halal food was superior, and that there was more of it, and this latest step was taken not to favor non-Muslims, but only to even things out and end that perception.

These suggestions, I hope, will help to start a national discussion on our prisons, on the massive number of conversions to Islam taking place in them, and what, if anything, we can and should do about it. I look forward to reading your emails about this critical matter. Thank you.

    This is one of Hugh Fitzgerald’s finest articles. These four points are a perfect description of what is WRONG WITH ISLAM on a SOCIAL LEVEL.

    Muslims are not allowed to mix with DIRTY KAFIRS and they are told they must NOT MIX with dirty kafirs.

    The only problem of putting Muslims together is that it might intensify their Islamism if not checked by DEPROGRAMMING.

    Voluntary ISLAM-CESSATION DEPROGRAMMING PROTOCOLS should be developed by all Western countries. This is truly the only way to end the tyranny and terrorism of NORMATIVE Islam … an aggressive, male chauvinist Death Cult.

    Here is an example of deprogramming:

    I would make three jail systems: one for Islamists, a separate Muslim-only prison for those who wish to leave Islam and a third jail for inmates who are not Muslims.

    It is absolutely correct that Muslims cannot be allowed to mix with kafirs, because they will inevitably form Muslim vigilante gangs and persecute ALL the kafirs in ALL jails where there are Muslim inmates.

    When ever I see these Savages with their asses held up, to each others faces, I just want to reach for my pellet gun!
    It is long past time to send this obsene and putrid cult back to the deserts that spewed it forth.
    This camel stool of a cult HAS NO PLACE in a free and open society.
    If the Government will not take action, I fear that, once our people grow some balls again, there will be violence and blood shed as this evil is deported by force.
    It’s a horrible future ahead. And the blame rests fully with our insane and VERY CROOKED political leaders!

    This is a great Idea! Here In America we will need 5 or 6 jail systems.

    Is it not a “cruel and unusual punishment” being applied to all secular, atheist, catholic, protestant, buddist hindu etc.. prisoners, if they are being pressured, sadistically treated by muslims.

    The Eighth Amendment was adopted, as part of the Bill of Rights, in 1791.
    It is almost identical to a provision in the English Bill of Rights of 1689, in which Parliament declared, “as their ancestors in like cases have usually done…that excessive bail ought not to be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted. ”
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eighth_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution

    It would seem that muslims could also question this amendment, but as I believe this should be enforced accordingly to the predominant culture, then simply deport all prisoners that do not comply.

    It seems that muslims are being bribed, especially favored so that prison management can work more easily with less hassle, so that ordinary prisoners can be hassled, physiologically tortured etc.

    The problem is that having failed to suppress UKIP (Batten is the leader) by smearing them, the MSM are ignoring them.
    Batten has a problem getting on MSM.

      This is very true.

    If they can’t be deported, the Muslim only jail should have a concerted effort to de-Islamicize them masquerading as integration into secular society. Use a reward system. Might as well get some bang for their buck of incarcerating them and benefit society. Maybe copy the ChiComs w/ their re-education camps for the Uighurs. After all, UK doesn’t shy away from totalitarian tactics.
