Prevent jails becoming breeding grounds
Reader comment on item: L.A.'s Thwarted Terror Spree

With the available knowledge about jails being used by Islamists to convert marginalised criminals to Islam, and then inciting them to terrorism, surely it is time for the government and legal system to act. Stop these terror breeding grounds from forming by denying access to non-Mulsim prisoners by any Muslim imams or even other Muslim prisoners. Keep them totally separated, whether politically correct or not. Also block Islamists from attending to any Muslim prisoners even if this is requested. Screen them carefully and record their conversations.

I read of a study a year or so ago that showed when prisoners are allowed to be taught Christianity or other peaceful religions, they often come out as reformed 'better' people, able to re-join communities. However, when they are exposed to Islam, particularly a radicalised Islam, they inevitably come out as dangerous potential terrorists with hostility to Western societies.

Why the heck are we allowing these hapless, desperate criminals to be indocrinated by Muslims and given false promises that set them on the path to terrorism. They are useful fodder for the scheming Islamists who 'lie through their teeth' and promise them glory. Let's stop indulging in idiotic oversensitivity and demand a reality check.
