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

Alaska pays $102,500 to two Muslim inmates over Ramadan food, Hamas-linked CAIR to provide sensitivity training

Sep 8, 2019 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

“The settlement states that Muslim inmates also ‘are permitted to congregate for each of the five daily prayers in their mods,’ ‘are permitted to facilitate Friday religious services,’ and ‘Muslim inmates are permitted to participate in Islamic study groups.'”

This apparently applies not just to inmates who happen to be Muslim, but also to Muslim inmates who are in prison for committing crimes in the name of Islam and in accord with its teachings. is it really wise for the prison to allow such inmates to reinforce and go deeper into the ideology that landed them in prison in the first place? That is a question that is not allowed to be asked.

“CAIR, a national organization, will also provide religious sensitivity training to Department of Corrections employees for free.”

How generous! Is anyone in the Alaska Department of Law concerned about these facts? CAIR is an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas terror funding case — so named by the Justice Department. CAIR officials have repeatedly refused to denounce Hamas and Hizballah as terrorist groups. Several former CAIR officials have been convicted of various crimes related to jihad terror. CAIR’s cofounder and longtime Board chairman (Omar Ahmad), as well as its chief spokesman (Ibrahim Hooper), have made Islamic supremacist statements about how Islamic law should be imposed in the U.S. (Ahmad denies this, but the original reporter stands by her story.) CAIR chapters frequently distribute pamphlets telling Muslims not to cooperate with law enforcement. CAIR has opposed virtually every anti-terror measure that has been proposed or implemented and has been declared a terror organization by the United Arab Emirates. CAIR’s Hussam Ayloush in 2017 called for the overthrow of the U.S. government. CAIR’s national outreach manager is an open supporter of Hamas.

Almost certainly not.

“Alaska will pay $100,000 and change procedures to settle lawsuit over treatment of Muslim inmates,” by James Brooks, Anchorage Daily News, September 6, 2019 (thanks to Henry):

The Alaska Department of Law and the Council for American-Islamic Relations have settled a lawsuit stemming from the feeding of Muslim prisoners during Ramadan.

As part of the settlement, the state will pay $102,500 to plaintiffs Anas Dowl and Ernest Jacobsson. The settlement also requires changes in the way the Department of Corrections feeds prisoners during Ramadan and in the way prisoners are permitted to pray….

Observant Muslims fast from sunrise to sunset during the 30 days of Ramadan, meaning that state-held prisoners who observe the fast cannot participate in regular meal schedules. The lawsuit alleged that the alternative meals offered to Dowl and Jacobsson were dangerously meager and that Muslim inmates were being starved….

The settlement states that Muslim inmates also “are permitted to congregate for each of the five daily prayers in their mods,” “are permitted to facilitate Friday religious services,” and “Muslim inmates are permitted to participate in Islamic study groups.”

CAIR, a national organization, will also provide religious sensitivity training to Department of Corrections employees for free.

    Muslim inmates in American jails should have 1) the right to remain incarcerated; 2) the right to shut up; 3) the right to all kinds of pork products; and 4) the right to a Bible.

      “Muslim inmates in jails should have the right to remain incarcerated”

      If they tried that in the UK the place would soon become one vast jail and the rest of us would have to come across the pond and join you! (Well, they wouldn’t let us into the EU. would they?)

    Not all Muslims observe Ramadan. There are exceptions for athletes who cannot observe for obvious reasons. I would think a case could be made that being in prison is one of those situations where Ramadan observance will have to be delayed until the sentence is served.

    • gravenimage says

      Yes–but acknowledging this would not further the cause of Islam, would it?

    So they’ve got muslims up in Alaska? Any chance of rescheduling their fasting for around December 21? That should solve their diet problems with hardly any costs at all.

    • Kangi_Yotaka says

      Sep 8, 2019 at 3:40 pm

      Yes, there are Muslims here. I presume you’re going for the idea that they’ll starve if fasting near the solstice. However, in the winter, there’s only a few hours of daylight. That means they could eat almost any time.
      In the summer, it’s the “land of the midnight sun,” and the sun only sets for a few hours. In that case, when Ramadan is near the summer solstice, they are permitted to go by Mecca time.

      Just like the Jews in Fairbanks, where the sun doesn’t set at all in the summer, observe Sabbath using Anchorage time (where it sets for a few hours).

      • jayell says

        Sep 8, 2019 at 3:58 pm

        Silly me. I got that round the wrong way. However, regarding this business of going by Mecca time, strange how they bend the rules when suits them but then claim to have to follow the book by the letter when that involves making a total nuisance of themselves to everyone else.

        • Kangi_Yotaka says

          Sep 8, 2019 at 4:04 pm

          Judaism understands that rules can be altered when there is a risk to life or health.

      They are making a statement,” we control”, “we disrupt” and then pray for our death. They should be charged for nighttime feeding, because they know if their life depends on it they can eat.

    Jails around the world as well as businesses and corporations that deal with Muslims, need to learn about DARURA.

    “DARURA” is the Sharia doctrine of “NECESSITY”. Muslims can forego any Islamic ruling when necessary and not sin. Darura is the equivalent of the saying, “NO PROBLEM!”

    DARURA applies wherever Sharia Law is NOT the law of the land.

    Koran 4:28 “Allah wishes to lighten your burden, for man was created weak.”

    If a Muslim is hungry, he may eat pork. If meat is not halal, a Muslim may say a special prayer and it *magically* becomes halal.

    If it is inconvenient to pray, he may defer prayer until another time. If a female Muslim *needs* to swim in the local pool, watched by males, then she may do so, if there is no other pool. If a Muslim cab driver does not want a working blind guide dog in his cab because Islam considers dogs filthy and because he will need immediately to clean his cab inside and out, he does not have to cleanse it, if it interferes with earning a living.

    When the circumstances are difficult and Sharia law is not in force, a Muslim’s burden is lightened. They are obligated to pray and not handle pork, for instance, but if the circumstances are difficult, then the requirements are lightened. This leads to the concept of *DARURA* (necessity).

    If it is necessary, what is forbidden is permitted. If a Muslim is hungry and there is no halal (Sharia- compliant) food, then he can eat ANY food.

    If a Muslim is where they cannot pray, then the prayer can be done later.

    If Sharia law has not been implemented in a place, then a Muslim may also handle pork, for example, with no consequences.

    Darura is the easy way for Muslims to turn ‘HARAM’ *magically* into ‘HALAL’ !!!

      If fasting would exceed 20 hours Muslims generally go to Mecca time:

    I am gobsmacked!
    Islam is conducting the most cleaver invasion in history. It is expert in non conventional war and deception.
    Of course the post Christian West is ideologicaly disarmed and wide open to being conned and that is a necessary condition for Islam’s thus far massive success. Time is not on the side of the free world.

    When you are in prison you lose your rights to halal meals and other freedoms and conveniences !
    Plain and simple! If you can’t do the time, don’t do the crime!! How is this even possible in the USA??
    AG Barr needs to look into this immediately! Prison reform is badly needed!
    It’s appalling this is going on in the USA !! Islam is gaining too much power in prisons and this proves it!
    I thought it was bad in England’s jails, but this is beyond my comprehension!

    Whatever happened to the idea that prison was a place where a person lost many of the “freedoms” that those on the outside enjoy.?

    A person who has not committed a crime can decide when and what to eat, when and where to gather with friends and relatives, when, where and if they wish to pray and how often.

    A criminal is supposed to lose these freedoms as part of his punishment for having committed a crime.

    This “judgment” is against all of the non moslims of Alaska…and it sets a bad precedent for everyone else.
    The citizens who work…and stay out of jail/prison… are being made to pay these two slimy thugs and allow them to meet with all the other slimy thugs…because they saw a lawsuit when they refused the food when it was served.
    So everyone is being made to fund this evil by having this settlement…all one-sided in favor of evil.

      In Canada criminals in jail are entitled to vote. Voting is the ultimate expression of freedom and democracy. Entitling criminals in jail to vote makes voting meaningless.

      • gravenimage says

        Yes–this is insanity. Ex-cons should earn back their right to vote–and those convicted of the worst crimes should lose the right to vote altogether.

    I find this absolutely maddening. These Muslim inmates should not receive one penny – and CAIR should be countersued for filing a frivolous lawsuit.

    Muslims in prison should not have:

    Special meals

    Special meal times

    A Koran

    They should also be physically separated from non-Muslims, and efforts should be made to deprogram them out of their hateful religious ideology.

      You’re right. No other “religion” gives the prisoner special privileges.

      I put “religion” in quotes, because Islam was tainted (not started) by Mohammed who was a warlord. The warlord mentality, such as evangelization through conquest, should not be associated with religion.

    We should not have ANY Muslim inmates… they should all be exported to a country where they’ll feel more at home.

    As to letting Muslims “congregate” in ways other prisoners cannot, and letting them sue over what they’re fed in prison — how is this not the government giving special preference to a particular religion, therefore a clear violation of the Constitution?

    Braying to allah to kill us is “hate-speech!” Being permitted to participate in Islamic study groups to study and disseminate all of the crimes the Qur’an endorses, is also a crime (because openly endorsing crime is already a crime). Lock up all those who endorse these crimes!

    MUSLIM PRIVILEGE
    Alaska pays $102,500 to two Muslim inmates over Ramadan food, Hamas-linked CAIR to provide sensitivity training.

    Alaska bows down to the CRUEL, DARK Death god of Islam and SUBMITS to Islam and to vile CAIR MUSLIM TERRORIST Organization.

    Islam is a MILITARY-POLITICAL CONQUEST BLOOD CULT that traditionally has given conquered non Muslims one of three choices:

    1. Convert to Islam. 2. Pay the jizya – the Blood Ransom tax paid to Muslims for allowing non Muslims to live. 3. Be put to death.

    Muslims are in prison SUPPOSEDLY for punishment for crimes they have committed??? And Alaska behaves like America has been CONQUERED by Muslims and they have chosen the second option given by Muslims of a conquered country – JIZYA.

    Islam is the greatest threat humanity has ever experienced. President Trump and the governor of Alaska and all other states must hold press conferences and explain to the public why American leaders and states are behaving like AMERICA HAS BEEN CONQUERED by MUSLIMS.

  23. OLD GUY says

    Simply BULLSHIT! They should have lost their rights as when they where convicted of criminal activities.
