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

UK: Muslim prison gangs beating prisoners who won’t convert to Islam

Jun 9, 2019 9:30 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

The spread of the jihad doctrine in Western prisons has been feeding prison radicalization. This burgeoning problem has inevitably escalated. The Ministry of Justice — with researchers at the University of Birmingham — has issued a report which states:

“Muslim gangs in British prisons are forcing other inmates to convert to Islam or face violence.” These gangs, often led by jihadists “who are serving sentences for terrorism, are recruiting violent prisoners to be their ‘foot soldiers’, the report reveals.”

Prison radicalization is proliferating; all attempts to deradicalize jihadist inmates have failed, and the citizenry is exposed to extreme danger once these prisoners are released. They are sure to find Salafi mosques once free; in such a kindred environment they will integrate well, to the further detriment of peaceful Western citizens.

Adding to this problem:

European Union’s counter-terrorism co-ordinator Gilles de Kerchove singled out the UK as having more radicalised muslims than any other country in Europe.

And here’s a glimpse of how these Muslim prison gangs are being dealt with:

“Christian prison pastor Paul Song recently spoke out about Muslim extremists in prisons after he was dismissed from Brixton Prison in London.  Song was kicked out by a Muslim imam who had taken over as head chaplain and disapproved of the pastor’s Christian courses.”

“Extremist Muslim gangs are ‘beating prisoners’ who won’t convert to Islam,” by Sophie Bordland, Daily Mail, June 7, 2019:

Extremist Muslim gangs in British prisons are forcing other inmates to convert to Islam or face violence, a Government report has warned.

The gangs, often led by fanatics who are serving sentences for terrorism, are recruiting violent prisoners to be their ‘foot soldiers’, the report reveals.

Inmates who refuse to convert to Islam and join their ranks are being ostracised or attacked.

The report, which examined three unnamed high security prisons in England, also describes how the gangs are instilling fear in staff.

They are particularly keen to target offenders who are already in street gangs and therefore have a ‘propensity for violence’, it adds.

Experts have previously warned that UK prisons have become a breeding ground for extremists to spread their behaviours and ideas.

Two years ago three men who had met in the high security Belmarsh prison in south-east London were convicted of plotting a terror attack.

The trio, who dubbed themselves the Three Musketeers, had planned to use a meat cleaver and pipe bomb on police and military targets.

This latest report was undertaken by the Ministry of Justice with researchers at the University of Birmingham to better understand the nature of these gangs…..

    Appeal to Force (argumentum ad baculum) (also known as: argument to the cudgel, appeal to the stick)

    Description: When force, coercion, or even a threat of force is used in place of a reason in an attempt to justify a conclusion.

    Logical Form: If you don’t accept X as true, I will hurt you.

    Three words…

      I have never been in favor of capital punishment. However, in the case of jihad, it seems that there are only two alternatives available to any non-suicidal society: capital punishment or deportation with no possibility of return into this country by anyone convicted of a crime. Our prison system, here as everywhere, is being used 24/7 as a state-funded recruitment center with a nearly limitless number of potential “converts”. We send some car thief or domestic assault perp into prison and some jihadi imam we also sent there turns him into a major threat to society. It is another form of state-funded jihad. Societal suicide. It needs to not work. We need to make it a point not to even allow a jihadi or Muslim criminal into our jails and prisons. If we have home-grown ones we can’t deport they should all be put into a segregated Muslim-only situation and kept there indefinitely or until the threat to Western civilization from Islam no longer exists (indefinitely, in other words) for whatever crime they are convicted of. We just can’t allow this.

    Islam cannot be defended with a logical, moral or factual argument, so Muslims must use FALLACIES OF THOUGHT to replace valid argumentation.

    Islam cannot be defended with a valid argument, because it breaks the rules of logic and is self-referentially incoherent; amoral and opportunistic; factually wrong on hundreds of matters of fact (historical, scientific and common sense). Islam appeals to threats of force and terror, slanderous, opportunistic statements, and obscurantism (hiding verifiable facts from discussion) in order to gain converts.

    Most converts tricked into Islam actually leave and abandon Islam within 19 months of joining, according to an American mullah who has studied the retention rate of converts to Islam in the USA.

    Then perhaps the MoJ executive should try using what common sense they have and keep the Muslims together, and in solitary confinement. Then the government could try using its collective common sense … and deport them once released.

      It seems to me, that the report should be used as justification to allow no Islam in the prison system. Korans, Islamic “prayers”, and halal food should not be allowed in the prison.

    England is lost! The unfettered invasion of illegal Muslims into England and Europe is destroying their sovereignty! And bankrupting them as well. Look at cities like London, Paris, Rome, etc and people like Macron, Merkel, and May that have allowed it ! Not to mention the traitor Pope Francis! Pm Churchill is not resting easy today! Neither are Pres Roosevelt, Pres Truman, Pres Eisenhower and Pres Reagan!
    After the anniversary of D Day , you would think people would wake up and not want to lose all that was fought for and won, by millions of allied soldiers! Hopefully it’s not too late. England is certainly on the cusp of destruction by Muslim invaders ! These criminals are using prisons for their own advantage against those that support them – we must stop the insanity worldwide before it’s too late!
    Only God can save the world now! We must all wake up before it’s too late!
    God bless America 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸Pres Trump,2020. Our only hope!!

    Zookeepers keep carnivores, sch as lions, tigers and bears, separate from herbivores, such as buffalo, deer, moose, etc., for obvious reasons.
    Prisons have long been much like zoos…the stronger felons preying on the weaker offenders. How can a frail bookkeeper who embezzled funds stand up to a larger, stronger, murderer? Prison gangs were the natural result of such violence…i.e.: when the Cripps and Bloods attacked other races, the AB was formed.

    It shouldn’t take a Robert Spencer to tell authorities that moslims will force what they cannot get without force. Their islam tenets don’t change…convert, pay or die…just because they get locked up for their crimes.

    The so called “Coexisting” West needs to come to there collective senses, and ban destructive Islamic behaviors; and if this does not work, simply ban Islam in our cultures. Yet you have idiotic ministers who continually put fourth Islam is peaceful. You cannot mix the Judaeo – Christian God in with Islam, as Muslims will never submit to such beliefs. But then again, I’m just a nobody powerless to change these politicians who sell out our cultures, yet they haven’t the right to do so!

    This can’t be true. There is no compulsion in Islam, right? Al-Baqara 256 says so.

  9. Skip Barker says

    Proving once again that Islam is a false religion, using force to convert someone, taking away one of God’s greatest gifts to man freewill. The weak ones are the ones that except this garbage out of fear, and those that have already converted. After Christ died on the cross, there was no more work to be done, therefore no need for any other religion, nor prophets, just messengers, so Mohammed is a false prophet.

      A few verses about what OUR God says about “peace”

      By peace he shall destroy many. (Daniel 8:25)

      Not only that, but these are quite telling too:

      “The alien who is among you shall rise higher and higher and you shall come down lower and lower” (Deuteronomy 28:43).

      Indeed, the hour is coming when whoever kills you will think he is offering service to God.” John 16:2

    Muslim prisoners account for 4 to 5 times their proportion of the general population. That is the proof of their subversive snd corrosive influence in the UK, made worse by their antics in the jails. And nothing is done about it.

    • Westman says

      Jun 9, 2019 at 3:00 pm

      And bullying unbeliever prisoners to join Islam seems so inconsistent when the Quran says to cut off the hands of thieves. They should be busy cutting off hands of fellow Muslim inmates…. unless…. UNLESS!..this only applies to stealing from Muslims!

      Doesn’t it point to some deficiency in UK leadership that they cannot come the conclusion that Islam is an apartheid system that demotes unbelievers in all things, secular and religious?

      • gravenimage says

        Jun 9, 2019 at 9:06 pm

        Yes–stealing from, raping, and murdering Infidels is perfectly Islamic.

    …report was undertaken by the Ministry of Justice with researchers at the University of Birmingham to better understand the nature of these gangs…
    —
    note the phrase “WITH RESEARCHERS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF BIRMINGHAM.” i think that it is safe to assume that the final version of the report was toned down to “protect” the ummah, so things are probably *REALLY* bad in UKistani prisons. since one can be imprisoned by the government at the word of a muslim threatening muslim “unrest” because of what a real briton might say (since brexit hasn’t happened yet, the ECHR unfree speech ruling of last fall still takes precedence over any UKistani law), robert spencer, pamela geller, and others should probably be *glad* they aren’t allowed entry into the UK; as it is, tommy robinson, et al., are probably on thin ice, just one step away from murder in a high-security prison.

    Such violent Muslim behavior by Muslim prisoners towards other prisoners who refuse to and won’t “convert” to Islam This is still further proof that Islam greatly lacks rational arguments based on reason and logic .Therefore ,one again ,in prison outside on prison, many Muslim resort to the use violence or the use of violence to gain “converts ” in the House of Islam.

    This is ,very much , a strong reminder that the Christian man, Roger Williams , who was the founder of the State of Rhode Island was someone who had the wisdom and understanding to make a valid and true statement which is “That religion cannot be true which need such instruments of violence to uphold it.”

    “This latest report was undertaken by the Ministry of Justice with researchers at the University of Birmingham to better understand the nature of these gangs…”
    —
    What chance that these researchers read “Enemy of the State”? It would be too much to expect them to have reached out to its author, Tommy Robinson. Gerard Batten got endless abuse for appointing this man his advisor on prison reform.

    Humans have rights; weapons do not. But if the two come rolled into one, it’s the weapon’s capacity to kill that you need to act against, not the human’s rights you need to protect. Jihadis are weaponised humans. Go figure!

    Just to be clear, “to better understand the nature of these gangs,” does *not* mean to solve the problem of the recruiting of a jihadi army in British prisons. There is zero possibility of any British politician daring to take that on when even a Prime Minister instructs the police *not* to investigate Muslim paedophile rape gangs.

    The Muslim criminals should be immediately deported when sentenced – they should never return to the UK!
    It is unfair on the Brits that they fund the imprisonment of the Muslims – their countries should be made to take back the prisoners!
    Surely a Prisoner exchange could be organized! E.g. If their are no Brits in the Prisons of Muslim countries – Britain could take persecuted Christians held in captivity!

  16. Barb says

    Jun 9, 2019 at 10:32 pm

    The Muslim prisoners in the UK are guilty of Articles 18 & 19 of the UN Declaration of Human Rights – AND – they are guilty of violating article 18 of The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights!

  17. Roger Dunn says

    Jun 10, 2019 at 9:52 am

    I have read all the comments and the only one that was sound, was deport three times, 17 Muslim Mayors, Sharia law ans a doctor resigning because a rag head woman wouldn’t or couldn’t lift her veil to speak to him properly, this is not the UK I was born and brought up in

    Despite the facts, Trudeau and his regressive Liberal government want to bring these rabid terrorists back to Canada, and he actually believes, and has said that, they can be a benefit to our society.

    On what planet is this moron living, or is it just that his brain is fried from all the drugs he, and his mother, (she was well known for the company she kept,) have done.

    Trudeau seems bent on the destruction of Canada as a sovereign democratic nation and appears to be doing everything in his power to destroy our country before he is kicked out of power in October.

    Stalin referred to this strategy as “Scorched earth” which destroyed everything when in retreat, leaving nothing for the advancing forces to use. It is clear that Trudeau and his Liberals are using similar strategies in Canada.

    They ever think about separating the muslims from the non muslims? Too bad, I’d love to hear about how many of their own kind, that they have exterminated.

    What a surprise violent Muslims in prison converting non Muslim inmates. For Muslims this is a perfect storm. For non Muslim violent prisoners what more could you want a religion that promotes your life style of rape, murder, assault. Scary as hell!

    They cannot do such thing in middle east… the out will be death sentence and over England they feed such criminals …just imagine what they will do if they are out of prison .. innocent people will die
