The UK government has blocked a wide-ranging study into the process of prison-based religious conversion despite concerns over the impact of charismatic preachers on radicalising inmates….Researchers wanted to interview inmates and staff at eight jails to understand the reasons behind conversion to Islam
Why? Because authorities are fearful of “what researchers might find.”
The UK government is already infamous for its cover-up of Muslim rape gangs; its outrageously unjust incarceration of Tommy Robinson; its admittance of Islamic hate preachers such as Muslim cleric Syed Muzaffar Shah Qadri, who was actually banned in Pakistan for celebrating hatred and murder but went on a mosque tour in the UK; Theresa May’s hailing of the benefits of Sharia; its over 100 Sharia courts; etc.
The UK government does not want people to know the truth about the spread of the jihad doctrine and the consequent risks to national security, public safety and individual freedoms. The inmates could tell the truth about their conversions and goals, and why would the globalist British government want to educate a sitting-duck public? Why tell people that an army (of unknown size) of potential jihadists is awaiting release from jail?
The research project has been given the go-ahead in Switzerland and France, but UK prison officials were understood to be concerned about the resources required for the three-year study that sought in-depth interviews with dozens of inmates.
The UK government would much rather spend untold millions and thousands of hours of police resources to crack down on so-called “hate speech” and exaggerated “hate crimes.”
“UK blocks prison conversion study,” The National, October 15, 2018:
The UK government has blocked a wide-ranging study into the process of prison-based religious conversion despite concerns over the impact of charismatic preachers on radicalising inmates.
Researchers wanted to interview inmates and staff at eight jails to understand the reasons behind conversion to Islam and how the process could be harnessed to reduce offending when they were released.
The study has the backing of experts including Max Hill, a lawyer who independently reviews the UK’s anti-terror laws, and the governors of the jails identified for the study, which included a top-security prison, youth and women’s jails.
Prof Matthew Wilkinson, the lead researcher based at the School of Oriental and African Studies, London, insisted the planned study was not about radicalisation but believed that authorities were concerned about what researchers might find.
“Just because we are studying Muslims and convert Muslims does not mean that we are studying radicalisation,” he said. “We think that the choice to follow Islam can be rational, positive decision and we want to discover how it can be managed appropriately to help prison governors in their duty to prevent reoffending.”
