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

Belgian taxpayers forced to compensate jihadi prisoners who were isolated

May 18, 2019 10:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

“A court in Belgium has forced the Belgian state to compensate radical Islamic prisoners because of a policy of isolating them from the rest of the prison population aimed at stopping the spread of radicalisation.”

Taxpayers are in essence being forced to foot a bill for jihadist prisoners that would enable them to continue spreading their jihadi ideology when they should be isolated to contain the spread of their salafi doctrine. This clearly also threatens the security of Belgian citizens.

Robert Spencer reported in November that “Belgium faces a “persistent terror threat” and a “wave of jihadism” from Muslims recruited for jihad in prison”.  And as he indicated:

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 Forced To Compensate Radical Islamic Prisoners”, by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, May 16, 2019:

A court in Belgium has forced the Belgian state to compensate radical Islamic prisoners because of a policy of isolating them from the rest of the prison population aimed at stopping the spread of radicalisation.

The court has ordered the state to pay the Islamic radicals in the prisons of Ittre and Hasselt one euro per day to compensate them for being isolated from other prisoners arguing that the facilities, which were initially designed for short term isolation, did not correspond to the regular conditions of other parts of the prison, RTBF reports.

The sections, known as “D-Radex” in Belgium, have been termed as prisons within prisons and were initially designed to accommodate radical Muslims who were recruiting and radicalising others.

The judge in the case argued that the conditions of the D-Radex areas, which include limitations on phone use, as well as limited times for exercise and other restrictions, constituted a “special individual security scheme,” which has certain procedures and rights for the prisoners.

The court claimed the D-Radex programme, “had the effect of de facto excluding applicants from benefiting from the legal guarantees,” associated with the special individual security scheme.

Belgium is just one of many European countries dealing with the threat of Islamic radicalisation in prisons. In December, a Belgian national security report claimed the country was facing a “wave of jihadism” due to the spread of radical Islamic ideology in prisons.

“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,” the report said.

Belgium is also not the only country that has proposed isolating Islamic radicals. In 2017, the UK’s HMP Frankland near Durham also created a “prison within a prison” to counter the influence of radicals…..

    Has there ever been a time in the entire 1400 year history of Islam, that Jizya has taken so many forms? A new form of Jizya seems to spring up every day!

    The jihadis will put the money into jihad against the Belgians. The courts should not be handing money to known TERRORISTS.

    Give them money to LEAVE BELGIUM FOREVER and MOVE TO BERZERKISTAN.

    Why are criminals so easily recruited into Islam?
    Answer: Islam turns crime, lawlessness and terror into a virtue if employed in the service of Islam, and the prospect of revenge over a corrupt, unfair justice system and eternal virgins in heaven and rivers of booze the same place tickle their carnal minds.

      Yes–Islam is appealing to violent felons.

      But no–this does not mean that civilized justice systems are corrupt.

    Brussels = 1/4 Muzzie….

    ====================

    List of cities in the European Union by Muslim population

    According to the Pew Forum, the total number of Muslims in Europe in 2010 was about 44 million (6%).[6] The total number of Muslims in the European Union in 2010 was about 19 million (3.8%).[6] The French capital of Paris and its metropolitan area has the largest number (up to 1.7 million according to The Economist)[7] of Muslims out of any city in the European Union. London also has a substantial community of Muslim origin, numbering about 1 million within the limits of Greater London and exceeding this figure when the entire metropolitan area is taken into account.

    By 2030, people of Muslim faith or origin are predicted to form about 10% of the population of France[6] and 8% of the population of Europe. [6]

    The table below lists large cities of the European Union with significant Muslim populations, some estimating the percentage of Muslims by using the percentage of Asians in those cities.

    City Member state % Muslim (est.)

    Amsterdam Netherlands 12.1%[8][9]

      Very disturbing figures.

        Looking at the trouble made in certain cities, and their “no go zones”
        one determines that over 10% things get very testy. By 20% there is
        near complete loss of autonomy in local government affairs, and it
        tips toward Muslims being in charge….if not de jure, then de facto.

    Jihadis should be deported to Muslim-majority countries — or executed — not imprisoned in the West. There is NO good reason to keep them here, for taxpayers to support until they are set loose on our societies again.

    If the West is going to survive the Muslim invasion, common sense will have to become FAR more commonplace than it is today, in this age of bone-headed political correctness.

    • keya says

      May 18, 2019 at 6:54 pm

      I say executed is the best option. The Muslim majority Saudi Arabia and the oil rich countries refuse to take a single refugee because there might be jihadis hiding among them. They want to keep themselves safe while the stupid West keeps on welcoming more Muslims

      • Savvy Kafir says

        May 19, 2019 at 5:13 am

        Agreed. The governments of oil-rich Muslim-majority countries — free of the neuroses of political correctness and white guilt — are taking the common-sense approach and rejecting Muslim refugees in order to prevent the influx of jihadis & Islamist rabble-rousers. For us in the West, there’s the added danger of having these “refugees” turn our free, civilized societies into Islamic sh*t-holes like the ones they came from; but our “leaders” and “journalists” (and much of the public) are too ignorant, too PC, and too concerned with virtue-signalling to do the sensible thing.

    ……………………

    Appalling–Jihadists *should* be isolated so that they cannot coerce and harm other prisoners and guards.

    Belgium citizens should not be forced by a Court to pay for the Jihadi’s!
    The Jihadi’s should be deported back to their Muslim countries the moment they are convicted!
    Belgiums’s should refuse to pay! The Government should overturn the decision! They represent the Belgium Citizens!

  8. Terra Nova says

    May 19, 2019 at 7:40 am

    “refugees and immigrants” to pay for them is already “something”, to pay for them specially because they can’t cook up a new terror deed is “SOMETHING ELSE’ Do you have to pay a fine to them too, or may be pay for new praying rooms, washing rooms, with golden taps? My God how stupid people have become, not become, they have always been that way, and you do that because you want pretent to be so good to people of the peaceful Islam. You really deserve a medal (sarc), but we at least know who you are as a country and government. Goodbuy Belgium, Antwerp and Mechelen and all the nice places. I will not enjoy Belgium any more, after knowing who the people are, she with Western Europe countries.

    Same with west European countries.
