Rajeev Syal, an editor for The Guardian, recently wrote on the “disproportionate” use of force against Muslim convicts while incarcerated in English prisons:
Muslim prisoners are disproportionately subjected to force including pain-inducing techniques by jail staff, according to new data.
Freedom of information requests found that in eight out of nine prisons with high Muslim populations, Muslim men were more likely than the average inmate to be confronted with batons, made to wear rigid bar handcuffs, or deliberately held in a painful position.
Syal’s lack of awareness and common sense is nearly indescribable though. He whines about unequal treatment, but then mentions a horrific instance in which a legitimate Muslim terrorist, one of the men responsible for the Manchester Arena bombing that killed 22 people and injured more than a thousand, attacked prison guards with burning oil and homemade knives—and somehow fails to make the connection that maybe stuff like that is why guards are more likely to opt for force compared to the non-Muslim prisoners who just go about their day, living out their sentences. Per Syal:
In one incident, the Manchester Arena bomber Hashem Abedi attacked three officers with hot cooking oil and homemade knives, leaving two of them in hospital.
Allow me to clarify—these two officers are in the hospital with “life-threatening injuries,” per a Telegraph article via Yahoo News.
This all comes amid other disturbing reports that Muslim gangs are “taking over Britain’s jails,” a power struggle which (un)ironically looks a lot like Muslim plans on the outside world too:
Former inmates have spoken about a war in a number of prisons between Islamist gangs and rival groups involving acts of grotesque violence. The skirmishes are not as frequent now, but it’s not because authorities have seized back control. Instead it is said to be because the Islamist gangs have won the power battle, with many inmates converting to their side and leaving others who will not increasingly [sic] fearful for their safety.
This is how they build the Caliphate—compel conversion through force, which all too often means under threat of death. Here’s a little bit of how things are going for the English on the non-incarcerated front:
And here:
Also from The Telegraph piece, explaining the demographic changes across the prisons:
After a surge of law enforcement activity in the UK in the early 2000s, following the September 11 attacks in the United States and the July 7 bombings in London, the number of Islamist extremists in custody for terror-related offences increased sharply.
By 2017, a year which featured four Islamist-inspired attacks in London and Manchester, there were 185 Muslims in jail for terrorism offences; the number has dipped only slightly since then, with at least 157 at the last count, in September – 62 per cent of the total number of terrorist inmates.
Isn’t the “diversification” of the West great?
