“A Virginia jail has ended a Christian program which inmates dubbed the ‘God Pod’ after a lawsuit alleged the program provided favorable treatment to Christians and discriminated against Muslims.”
The argument was that “those in the ‘God Pod’ received preferred status such as their own cell and use of a television and microwave.” But there was no discrimination against Muslims, contrary to the charges of Muslim inmates, who were represented by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). Although prison officials indicated that “the program was built on biblical principles,” it was welcoming of people of all faiths.
In Sharia states, Christianity is considered to be an inferior, infidel religion; persecution of Christians is rampant. Now, even the Christian heritage of Western countries are being eroded by Islamic supremacists. Earlier this month, the Alaska Department of Law and CAIR settled a lawsuit in which Alaska paid $102,500 to two Muslim inmates because of how they were fed during Ramadan. CAIR also provided religious sensitivity training to Department of Corrections employees.
Meanwhile, in the UK, jihadists have been ruling prisons. “Vulnerable” infidel prisoners are paying the jizya, and Muslim prison gangs have been beating prisoners who won’t convert to Islam.
It won’t be long before the disastrous conditions in UK prisons are mirrored in American jails, thanks to Muslim advocacy groups such as CAIR.
“Virginia jail ends ‘God Pod’ program after Muslim inmates sue,” by Matthew Barakat, Associated Press, September 21, 2019:
ALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP) — A Virginia jail has ended a program which inmates dubbed the “God Pod” after a lawsuit alleged the program provided favorable treatment to Christians and discriminated against Muslims.
Court documents show the Riverside Regional Jail south of Richmond ended the program on the advice of counsel after a lawsuit was filed last year by Muslim inmates represented by the Council on American-Islamic Relations.
A judge in federal court in Alexandria heard arguments Friday on whether the Life Learning Program implemented by a jail chaplain violated constitutional prohibitions against establishment of religion.
Inmates said those in the “God Pod” received preferred status such as their own cell and use of a television and microwave.
Jail officials acknowledged the program was built on biblical principles but said it was open to all faiths.
Deborah Kane, a lawyer for the chaplain who was in charge of the program, said that the Bible is a religious text accorded respect in Judaism and Islam, so it’s wrong to assume a Bible-based curriculum favors Christians…..

Why don’t they own group started!?
AnneM04031959 says
Correction: The Muslims.
Agostino Armo Pellegrini says
Because they can still be religiously faithful whether they have a group or not. What’s just as important to muslims is the destruction of religious freedom and to force the rest of the world to submit to their demon allah. With CAIR’s aid they were able to accomplish that in this prison. I sincerely believe this is CAIR’s real purpose in the West, they are a subversive group whose primary goal is to undermine our laws, facilitate terror by promoting and defending doctrines that teach terror, and to ultimately destroy all nations of the West for islam. CAIR has been designated a terrorist organization by the UAE. Further, certain members of CAIR have been tainted by bad associations, and a Federal judge said there was evidence that in the past CAIR had associations with groups that are now deemed terrorist organizations by our government.
According to CAIR’s own web site,
CAIR’s vision is to be a leading advocate for justice and mutual understanding.
CAIR’s mission is to enhance understanding of Islam, protect civil rights, promote justice, and empower American Muslims.
Sounds noble. But in my opinion that is not their true mission. In reality it’s more about suing non-muslims unjustly; levying charges of islamophobia and racism against critics of islam to defame their good reputation or their valid opinions; to feed the anti-Israel agenda, our ally; and playing the victim card every chance they get, when in reality muslims are treated with kid gloves by our government, our welfare, our media, and our citizens. If I have to sit through one more news report about how wonderful and peaceful islam is I’m going to throw up. There’s nothing peaceful about islam’s teachings and bloody 1400 year history, and there’s nothing peaceful about 35,000+ acts of islamic terror since 9/11. But in the midst of all this horror for allah CAIR is supposed to be an “advocate for justice and mutual understanding.” HA! That can’t be true! Islam is not about justice and mutual understanding, it’s about the destruction of all other religions for allah and sharia–there’s no justice in that! Anyone who thinks what I just said isn’t true is either a fool or an ally of their devil, at least in my not-so-humble-opinion.

Oppression of free association by JEALOUSY and covetness.
Why has cair not sought to provid these merger material things to THIER own but do in FACT exploit these people by this action and SUPPRESS and oppress free will with DEATH in association of exploring IDEAS about God in and of ITSELF?
UNLESS this IDEOLOGY is only interested in expansionism on the backs of thier own people and not answering QUESTIONS about who God is?
Naildriver says
It should be for all prisoners such that they may persist in their beliefs; but the prisons, state or federal, are under no obligation to enhance their experience of that faith, or even acknowledge it exists — and should provide no clergy or reading material.
The government has no business in religion, and shouldn’t presume to be some kind of referee or zoo keeper to various faiths.
Islam however should be singled out and deliberately discriminated against as an enemy system, inherently pernicious and inimical, particularly to the prison’s ability to reform prisoners, given some of the worst prison riots and consequential murder and Mayhem were owing to Islamic devotees, and, Islam is a system of sedition and treason against the laws and fabric of the USA.
Today I was disappointed to hear Trump call for freedom of religion throughout the world, with some millions donated to that end, without naming Islam the major menace to any other religions free practice.
Sean anderson says
But by just calling for freedom Trump has challenged Islamic supremacy.
Agostino Armo Pellegrini says
That’s right, Sean. Trump has to be hyper-vigilant about how he expresses himself, especially concerning muslims or islam. His enemies are legion, and they are ruthless experts at turning every good thing he says or does into a major crime or sin. That’s the price he must pay, sadly, for speaking the truth about islam’s hatred of the West, the dutiful messenger always gets the brunt of the resistance.

The behavior of prisoners involved in Christian programs has tended to improve somewhat, which is why prison officials have traditionally encouraged these programs, even if they have no interest in any religion themselves.
mortimer says
That’s why they call it “PENITENTIARY” … the hope is that the inmates will find redemption and a new way of thinking about their neighbors … namely, the Golden Rule.
There is no Golden Rule in Islam, but there is one in the Old Testament and New Testament.

Not surprising:islam is after all,the demonic antiChrist religion with its false prophet,false scripture the unholy koran,false god al lah,Doctrine of Hate{al walaa wal baraa}and with its antisocial,antisemitic and antichristian ideology {k5:51}
muslims HATE the Bible and God’s Commandments,preferring instead to follow the immoral wickedness of their demonic pagan Arab god Lah{“the BEST of deceivers” k3:54}and the sunnah of their child-raping,mass-murdering{Abu Dawud 4390},self-confessed liar{al tabari 6:111}the “prophet” muhammed{God’s wrath be upon him}
It is no surprise that the political wing of the satanic terror cult of islam would target Christians..
CAIR and the MB are the political front for a murderously evil totalitarian murder cult called islam.
Kepha says
So, there’s an official establishment of “religion” with no truth claims, mamby-pamby egalitarianism, and offend nobody.

Given that CAIR itself is banned in the UAE (and I think Egypt?), why isn’t it banned in the US? It’s not like you have organizations like Al Qaeda or ISIS operating openly, so why CAIR?

Could be as simple as political correctness gone VERY wrong.

somehistory says
It was bound to happen. Every time the moslims…esp those using cair as their spokesvipers…win, they turn up the heat on others, especially any using the Bible or calling themselves Christian.
moslims sue and win the “right” to have special treatment in order to eat whenever they wish during their celebration of gluttony which lasts for an entire month. They have sued to have no bacon prisons, to have their special foods, rugs, their filthy book, etc. and have won over and over. They have even sued to have their own gatherings in some prisons to prey and attempt to convert others…and won.
This is a further advancement….moslims can have special foods at special times, books and rugs, but no one else gets to have anything. No Bibles, no bacon, no meetings…because it offends the moslims’ evil senses.
satan wanted to completely destroy Jesus Christ. The devil incited against Him people who complained about what He said, where He said it, His disciples,, what they ate, when they ate, etc. And then, satan incited people to kill Jesus, and they did. satan wanted to crush Christianity out of existence by crushing Christ.
The devil’s children are just working to do the same thing…crush Christianity out of existence. They can’t get to Christ, so they are working on all people on earth who see Jesus Christ as their Savior, and the moslims wish to see all destroyed. In African countries and elsewhere, literal killing, mass murders, burning churches, are taking place to rid the earth of Christianity. In America and other countries, a campaign is ongoing to make Christianity a matter only for the history books…and then burn the books. If moslims could kill all of us outright and get away with it, they would. And they admit that about Israel. Probably won’t be long before they admit it about Christians.

And the western press is largely silent about the islamic excesses. I feel privileged to be close to 90, so chances are that I’ll not see the obvious triumph of the death cult. After all, the western politicos’re doing nothing to counter it – indeed, they’re encouraging islam in the west.

Jap says
This situation of Muslims taking control of jails, forced conversions etc is present in Queensland jails as well.
It started with the Muslim prisoners being given extra privileges to conform with their religion. Then it spread to the other inmates who could only get them themselves by converting to Islam.
Now they run the jails.
The government denies this, however I have spoken with several former inmates who have all confirmed this situation at separate times.
From what I can understand of the situation, the only solution would be to build Moslem only high security jails.

Yes–this is happening in British and French prisons, as well.

CAIR gets Christian program banned from Virginia jail
……………..
This is just disgusting. Christians have gone into prisons for the past 2000 years, ministering to prisoners and hoping to spiritually improve their lives, including acknowledging their crimes and working to atone for them.
Islam, in comparison, *sacralizes* most prisoners’ crimes, when done in the name of Islam against Infidels.
And yes–Christianity is considered a despised dhimmi faith in Muslim land, so they want to shut down *any* CH
That’s what this is about, not that this program is somehow “discriminating” against Muslims.
gravenimage says
That should read, “…so they want to shut down *any* Christian outreach”.
Lydia Church says
The ironical double standard is….
once successful, they will attempt to install the exact same thing,

somehistory says
Many years ago, there was a man in prison whom everyone feared as he was such a hardened criminal and murderer. No one wanted anything to do with him., He was sentenced to hang, but it didn’t happen right away. One day, he began to think about religion, obtained and began to read the bible.
To shorten the story, he became such a changed man that he apologized for his crimes, and translated some of the things he read from the Bible into Braille for blind students to read and enjoy.. When the time came for him to hang, he acknowledged that the sentence must be carried out and did not fight it.
Would there have ever been the same result if he had chosen islam and its filthy book to read and study? Absolutely not,…unless he saw the evil there and turned away from it and to the Bible.
Muslim2019 says
Christianity has been crushed in Europe, it has to be crushed in America also. Islam is the future.

By “future”, “Muslim2019” means the 7th century, with its flogging, amputation of limbs for petty theft, and stoning of rape victims to death.
God, I hate Islam. And so do a lot of other good people. “Muslim2019’s” gloating over his supposed victory is much premature.

Hmmm . . . we preach Christ crucified.

Actually no.What is happening in the world is in accordance with the prophetic teachings of Jesus Christ.
Prophecy is a subject way beyond the limited brain functions of the muslim.
It is the separation of the Wheat from the chaff.
In a way it is a good thing…
It separates the authentic from the demonic garbage like islam with its false god,filthy false scripture,perverted false prophet muhammed:you muslims,representing the forces of antichrist are on the side of evil which will be made extinct in the Justice of God.
You commandment-of-God violating demonic muslims with your pagan Arab god al Lah{“the BEST of deceivers” k3:54}are …the chaff.
The really funny thing is that you muslims are just not intelligent enough to see it..
How I pity you primitive islamic savages:al lah won’t save you!

Sorry, Muslim2019, don’t you know that all human life on Earth will be extinct within the next 10 to 12 years? There is no future. You had better be preparing for your imminent demise. Ha!

Or so muslims say, presumably to further their cause – they consider the Christian Bible to be corrupted, consider Jesus being the Son of God the worst kind of blasphemy (associating partners with allah), deny he died in the Cross and resurrected three days later. Sure, they say they respect the Bible – it’s just that their texts and actions say otherwise…

Yes–Muslims only respect the fantasy Bible that was just like the Qur’an before it was “corrupted”.
