The UK’s Muslim community constitutes 4.8 percent of its population, but Muslim inmates are 16 percent of the prison population.
In a move characteristic of Islamic spokesmen, Zaid M. Belbagi blames this on the non-Muslims of Britain, for supposedly keeping the Muslims of the country in poverty, denying them educational opportunities, and racially profiling them (what race is Islam again?). Belbagi never considers the possibility that when a community is taught by many of its spokesmen that the laws of the land are manmade and hence of no value, and those who enforce them are contemptible, the result will be a high rate of criminality. No one dares try to initiate any public discussion of that possibility in shattered, staggering, dhimmi Britain. To do so would be “Islamophobic.”
“Large Muslim prison population a test for Johnson’s unity pledge,” by Zaid M. Belbagi, Arab News, August 1, 2019:
With news of a new prime minister in 10 Downing Street, a landmark UK House of Commons paper on the British prison population that was released last week was largely ignored. It contains information on the prison population size and change over time, the demographic profile of prisoners, safety in prisons, and costs per prisoner. A key conclusion of the report was that, despite the country’s Muslim community only constituting 4.8 percent of the general population, Muslim inmates count for a staggering 16 percent of the prison population. The unexplained increase in the number of Muslims in prison is indeed a worrying trend, with the potential to cause longer-term social strife between communities….
Commentator Suhaiymah Manzoor-Khan wrote in 2017 that “if you keep a population poor, deny them opportunities to education… racially profile them, then there’s your answer.” Though there is valid reasoning in this observation, the Muslim community itself can do a lot more to ensure that education of young people is central to their lives. The government can, to a certain degree, review racial disparities — but, without community activism and engagement, the perpetual cycle of Muslim youths offending and reoffending will not be broken. New Prime Minister Boris Johnson has made uniting the country central to his term in office; he would do well to address this issue so as to best harness the talents of Britain’s largest minority faith group.

You think it might be that Islam has more criminals in their population?

Percentage Muslims in US Prisons
50.6% Protestants, 10.6% no affiliation, 9.4% Muslims, 1.7% Jewish, 1.7% Pagan,
0.9% Buddhist, 0.8% Mormon
Muslims are only 1% of the US population but are overrepresented in prisons at a rate 9 times more than their percent of population.
1.7% of the US population is Mormons, and they are underrepresented in US prisons by -50%.
jayell says
Not sure about numbers of Protestants, Catholics, Jews, Taoists, Buddhists, etc. etc. but in the UK muslims are now about 4-5% of the general population and up to about 25% of the prison population. That last figure will go up a lot as the grooming gangs are pulled in. Our problem here is the the muslims then proceed to take over the prisons and start converting the other prisoners sometimes with threats and sometimes with the bribery of all the special concessions that they get.
jayell says
Oh, by the way…….”Commentator Suhaiymah Manzoor-Khan wrote in 2017 that “if you keep a population poor, deny them opportunities to education… racially profile them, then there’s your answer.”……except that they get exactly the same educational opportunities as everyone one else, use up about 6.5 times the amount of unemployment money as anyone else and considerably more of the housing benefit money as anyone else as local authorities have to provide for all those ‘single mothers’ that just happen to share the same husbands!

=========
Hmmmm….
Not sure that if Protestants are in prison that many of them count as Christians….
As for Mormons, they are among the highest percentage of diverts away from believing and thus become agnostic or atheistic. Wonder what the percentages are for these other religions…. and what prison does to cause diverting from belief….
J D S says
Muslims in prisons have EARNED the right to be their…as does most who are incarcerated. but to receive special privileges is another thing…Of course the best way to IMPRISON Muslims would be to imprison them in separate facilities from other inmates…But NO! That would be discrimination and islamaphobia …never mind that while imprisoned with the non Muslims, Muslims push their beliefs on others Not sure about this….but…possibly some .Muslim prisoners call their imprisonment their jihad and just may be their imprisonment might be voluntarily just for the purpose of spreading their agenda.
Rufolino says
Islamic texts mandate criminality ! If you’ve got Islam you’ve got crime ! (Of the worst kind !)
WAKE UP, EUROPE !
Bazz12 says
I think they are more in numbers in prison is because of their average lower intelligence. The National Health Service in the Midlands reported on this to te House of Commons many years ago. The cause is their custom of marrying their cousins.
Jay says
Why is anyone surprised by this ? The unfettered invasion of Muslims into England with no
acclimation, is the problem. England gives these illegals medical care, welfare, housing, food stamps, etc etc and there is no effort by these Muslims to acclimate to English traditions or values.
They bring crime, terror attacks, disease, no go zones etc etc. Their lawless ungrateful behavior is why British prisons are full of Muslims. The prisons have been taken over and England then supports these criminals for life, while they plot to destroy England! It’s the definition of insanity. The bleeding heart liberals of England, France, Germany, Norway, Sweden, Greece, etc etc are allowing this invasion to destroy the soverignity and nationality of these countries with the citizens paying for all of it!! Pm Churchill is not resting easy today!! Who will save England now??
God save the queen! No one else will.
CRUSADER says
Prison habits of dropping soap in showers …
So why not add to the deviant conduct by bowing (arse in the air) to a war god who was worshiped by a criminal mastermind from a desert far away — meanwhile, in real time, it’s not like they’ll get any smarter by tapping their foreheads to the rug-covered cement floor.
It’s not as though these blighters have any chance at real Salvation!

So-called ‘Crusader’ … this forum is not your personal swimming pool. This is forum for fishing. You do not swim and splash in a fishing hole. You will not persuade people to understand Islam by your bigoted remarks or your bigoted pseudonym. People will assume that JW represents uninformed bigots like you and they will be turned off. Please self-regulate your smug, vindictive comments and change your bigoted, discredited, medieval pseudonym because you are a menace to the success of this forum. If you don’t wise up, and take thoughtful criticism, you confirm everyone’s opinion that you are not very smart and perhaps psychiatrically distracted. You apparently are unable to empathize.
gravenimage says
Actually, Mortimer, the crusades were largely defensive wars against Islam. Despite their failure, they probably did save Western Europe from further excursions. Muslims and Leftists may believe that the Crusades have been discredited, but that is hardly true of most of the Anti-Jihadists here.
And while I do have some empathy for violent criminal Muslims, I actually have more concern for their innocent victims. You may, of course, choose to disagree.
CRUSADER says
Morte’ !

You are off your meds again!,
You do that from time to time.

Go look at the mirror!
Thereafter, just stay in your lane.
Speak on things you actually have proven you know,
and leave the righteous Crusades alone…
You fare far better when you remain your scholarly self,
than when you diverge from your more mentally crafted manner,
Oh dearest Morte’ !

“denying them educational opportunities”– I guess that means they can’t buy a doctor title in a barber shop like in Pakistan.
Their excuses stink to high heaven.
Ragdoll says
Precisely!
What an absolute travesty of an excuse – education is provided free to everyone in this country, no-one is ‘denied’ it unless it’s a case of muslim parents keeping their daughters out of school because hey, who needs to know how to write or speak English when you’re going to be married off to your cousin in Pakistan by your 14th birthday?!
mortimer says
Muslims believe they are always the victims. They deny that Muslim unemployment has anything to do with the Islamic doctrine of LIVING OFF THE KAFIRS … jizzya, you know. Consciously or unconsciously Muslims believe that the kafirs should work for the Muslims and be their slaves.
Koran 9.29 “FIGHT (to the death) those who believe not in God and in the Last Day, and who do not forbid what God and His Messenger have forbidden, nor follow the Religion of Truth among those who were given the Book (Jews and Christians), till they pay the JIZZYA (poll tax) with a willing hand, being HUMBLED.”
Psychologist Nikolai Sennels found that 2/3 of prisoners in Copenhagen were Muslims and that most of them identified with being Muslim, rather than identifying with Denmark.
Sennels discovered that when a Westerner experiences problems, he asks himself: “What can I change in myself/my life to become happier?”
But when a Muslim experiences such problems, he asks ‘Who did this to us?’
Muslims are raised to assume that the KUFAAR or the JEWS are to blame for every adverse event in the lives of Muslims. Muslims are never responsible for their own misguided actions. We see this in the way Muslims are now preposterously claiming that ISIS was created by the Israelis.
Islamic victimology ideation is the source of these delusional thoughts. The victimology ideation comes from Mohammed.
CRUSADER says
But, dead marsh man, have some EMPATHY for the poor bedoins!
Angemon says
“Unexplained”? Pffffttttt!!! It’s actually rather simple: your coreligionists break the law, they go to jail. As for why your coreligionists are so adept at breaking the law, well:
Last time I checked, the favelas in Brazil weren’t the Mecca of suicide bombers, which is Mecca….

May be they’re right, because The UK shouldn’t imprison these muslims, but should deport them.
Mr. Cohen says
Muhammad Aal Al-Sheikh of Saudi Arabia
[a journalist with Al-Jazirah] said this:
“Would any Arab country open its doors wide to
Christian foreigners and [even] allow them to work in it?
The answer is definitely not.
So why do you demand that others treat
[you] differently than you treat them?”
……………..
…says Aal Al-Sheikh, the European Right’s
opposition to immigration is justifiable,
for it is only natural to oppose the influx
of immigrants who are “steeped to the
bone in a culture of hostility and hatred.”

Arab News blames high percentage of Muslims in UK prisons on poverty, lack of education, and racial profiling
………………….
Ah…right. It’s not as though it has anything to do with adhering to a creed that sacralizes robbing, raping, and murdering unbelievers…sarc/off
Don McKellar says
Yes, and those are “Allah’s Laws” which above “man’s laws”.
gravenimage says
True, BVC and Don.

This brings to mind Sairah Khan blaming the Muslim rape gang attacks which selectively targeted ethnically British girls on Britain. Funny how leftists can see patriarchy in a hamburger or something similarly unrelated yet just can’t make out such straightforward hatred. In fact, years before this venomous statement she berated Tommy Robinson on television for taking exception with the rape gangs.
GFYS says
one has to want to work for the first place. Second why did they not have an education before they arrived? Three is it not a fact that if they were educated they may see what wrong. four an education doesn’t serve Alia fifth beside in 1400 years what has Islam brought to humanity they started out strong then fizzled out like crashed and burned
sheliak says
Poverty, lack of education and racial profiling? Don’t forget sidewalk throat slittings, mass vehicular homicides, rape gangs, bombs filled with nails and ball bearings at teen music concerts, honor killings, massive welfare fraud, ISIS recruitment, urban no go zones….etc etc.
Don McKellar says
Yes, it certainly has nothing to do with them having a religion that teaches all types of criminal activity as the laws of Allah that are above “man’s laws”. That couldn’t have anything to do with these poor victims.
infidel says
They will blame everything else except their toxic terror manual which is the chief cause of all this grief.
R Russell says
Just another example of Muslim ‘victim jihad’. It happens all of the time. They bleat out about some perceived victimhood and the multiculturist government gives into them. Sharia not too far away in the UK. We need a Christian Revival or we are lost.
Robert_k says
Why not blame Israel and the Jews for the high rate of Muslim incarceration. They are always responsible.
jca reid. says
They’re in jail because they committed crimes, FFS! The Koran actually orders them & says it’s OK to do WHATEVER YOU WANT against non-Muslims! Non-Muslims are simply bushmeat & targets! Ordinary Folks must be getting sick of these patronising, inane excuses from Muslims. Send ’em all to Saudi! Let’s see if they’ll carry on like they do in the West!
IanB says
According to Muslims nothing is ever their fault or responsibility, they always blame the infidels.
Keys says
Yes, indeed.
That’s because, according to their cult, Muslims are the “best of people” and non-muslims are filth to be subdued by any means – moral or immoral, legal or illegal, just or unjust, good or bad, ……
