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

San Diego: Nation of Islam working to expand voting access in jails

Oct 14, 2020 1:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams 4 Comments

The Leftist-Islamic alliance is becoming more significant in the U.S. and elsewhere. Should this plan to aid prison inmates to vote be widely successful, it will be an obvious boon for Democrats.

Pillars of the Community is a “faith-based criminal justice advocacy group led by Black Muslims in southeast San Diego.” While this group is apparently working among Muslim and non-Muslim inmates, it has a significant population of Muslims in prison to help it gain a foothold. In five states, twenty percent of prisoners are Muslim, a much higher percentage than their proportion of the population. Federal prisons are also a “breeding ground” for jihad terrorists, who are quite aggressive in their approach to other inmates.

Meanwhile, there are numerous examples of Democrats interacting with the worst elements of Islam. It was no secret that the Obama Administration was infiltrated by the Muslim Brotherhood. Democratic politicians routinely appear at events hosted by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and other Hamas-linked groups. Meanwhile, among Muslims in general, the Institute for Social Policy and Understanding poll shows that although support for Trump among Muslims has significantly risen, still, Muslims overwhelmingly prefer Democrats in the White House over Republicans.

“In San Diego, Black Muslims are working to expand voting access in jails,” by Aysha Khan, Religion News Service, October 13, 2020:

Most inmates in California jails are eligible to vote. But former inmate Christopher Jackson says few of them actually know that. Fewer still have any idea how to cast their ballots from behind bars.

During the months Jackson spent in custody at San Diego Central Jail and George Bailey Detention Facility, he registered about 200 of his fellow inmates to vote ahead of the 2018 municipal elections.

Nearly all, he said, were surprised to learn that Californians in pretrial incarceration can legally vote, or that their votes for city council members or judges could affect their own futures.

“We’re all here in this situation, in custody, but that doesn’t mean that we don’t have a say in this district,” said Jackson, who has since been released. “There are a lot of people who may not be found guilty, and even those that have to take some time for what they did, their vote should still count.”

Jackson’s work as an inside voting organizer was funded by Pillars of the Community, a faith-based criminal justice advocacy group led by Black Muslims in southeast San Diego. Leaders of the group say they want to see an America without prisons.

The first step to accomplishing that goal, Pillars of the Community’s founder Khalid Alexander said, is protecting currently and formerly incarcerated individuals’ access to the ballot.

That’s why, during every election cycle for the past five years, the group has hired and trained a team of pretrial inmates to register eligible voters from behind bars….

    “Nation of Islam working to expand voting access in jails….” probably because that’s where 90% of their voters end up.

    “Black Muslims in southeast San Diego. Leaders of the group say they want to see an America without prisons.” Kufr want to see America free of crime, criminals, and sharia law. An America that supports unpopular free speech, where no stigma is attached to people opposed to islamic cultural values, where Kufr is treated with respect, dignity and honor, equality. Where pious moslems are not taught to murder people, shining the light of truth on Mo and islam.
