“The settlement states that Muslim inmates also ‘are permitted to congregate for each of the five daily prayers in their mods,’ ‘are permitted to facilitate Friday religious services,’ and ‘Muslim inmates are permitted to participate in Islamic study groups.'”
This apparently applies not just to inmates who happen to be Muslim, but also to Muslim inmates who are in prison for committing crimes in the name of Islam and in accord with its teachings. is it really wise for the prison to allow such inmates to reinforce and go deeper into the ideology that landed them in prison in the first place? That is a question that is not allowed to be asked.
“CAIR, a national organization, will also provide religious sensitivity training to Department of Corrections employees for free.”
How generous! Is anyone in the Alaska Department of Law concerned about these facts? CAIR is an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas terror funding case — so named by the Justice Department. CAIR officials have repeatedly refused to denounce Hamas and Hizballah as terrorist groups. Several former CAIR officials have been convicted of various crimes related to jihad terror. CAIR’s cofounder and longtime Board chairman (Omar Ahmad), as well as its chief spokesman (Ibrahim Hooper), have made Islamic supremacist statements about how Islamic law should be imposed in the U.S. (Ahmad denies this, but the original reporter stands by her story.) CAIR chapters frequently distribute pamphlets telling Muslims not to cooperate with law enforcement. CAIR has opposed virtually every anti-terror measure that has been proposed or implemented and has been declared a terror organization by the United Arab Emirates. CAIR’s Hussam Ayloush in 2017 called for the overthrow of the U.S. government. CAIR’s national outreach manager is an open supporter of Hamas.
Almost certainly not.
“Alaska will pay $100,000 and change procedures to settle lawsuit over treatment of Muslim inmates,” by James Brooks, Anchorage Daily News, September 6, 2019 (thanks to Henry):
The Alaska Department of Law and the Council for American-Islamic Relations have settled a lawsuit stemming from the feeding of Muslim prisoners during Ramadan.
As part of the settlement, the state will pay $102,500 to plaintiffs Anas Dowl and Ernest Jacobsson. The settlement also requires changes in the way the Department of Corrections feeds prisoners during Ramadan and in the way prisoners are permitted to pray….
Observant Muslims fast from sunrise to sunset during the 30 days of Ramadan, meaning that state-held prisoners who observe the fast cannot participate in regular meal schedules. The lawsuit alleged that the alternative meals offered to Dowl and Jacobsson were dangerously meager and that Muslim inmates were being starved….
The settlement states that Muslim inmates also “are permitted to congregate for each of the five daily prayers in their mods,” “are permitted to facilitate Friday religious services,” and “Muslim inmates are permitted to participate in Islamic study groups.”
CAIR, a national organization, will also provide religious sensitivity training to Department of Corrections employees for free.
