UK: secret plans for MUSLIM-ONLY PRISON?

Question

Ministers are secretly considering plans for an all-Muslim prison - to protect jailed Islamic terrorists, according to several news reports at the weekend.

There have been several attacks on Muslim terrorists in British prisons. In addition, Muslim prisoners are complaining that they are not allowed to meet with other Muslim prisoners and that their religious needs are being ignored. A Muslim-only prison means 'it would be eaier to cater for their religious needs in terms of diet and prayer' according to one source.

Any thoughts?

Answer 1

The UK needs to grow a backbone with these Muslims. I'm not saying that the country should deport all Muslims, but the ones who clearly want the country to follow Sharia law should be deported. The ones who threaten, ask for special privileges, the list goes on. Throw them out. Think of it this way: would you let someone in your house if they meant you harm? I don't understand why all of these European countries are letting Muslim immigrants in when they know that MANY of them are simply just going to cause problems.

Answer 2

Yeah. Secret. Which is why it was on the news. No better way of keeping things secret than publishing them.

There should not be Muslim only prisions. There are not Jewish only prisons - they have special dietary needs. If you want to keep those convicted of terrorism seperate, then keep them on another wing - and shouldn't they be kept in a maximum security +1 wing anyway? In addition, a petty muslim criminal sent to prison for 6 months for drug possession goes in a moderate - barely goes to the mosque, comes out a foaming at the mouth radical thanks to indoctrination by the extremists he meets in prison. This already happens in normal prisons - in a Muslim only prison, it's like an extremist production line.

A 'one religion' prison is likely to become (in the minds of the public, as well as in reality) a gulag like Guantanamo. Why should Muslims get better treatment than other prisoners likely to get attacked whilst in prison?

Answer 3

No, they shouldn't yet this a growing to be kind of fixing into known. different prisoners faith isn't significant with regard to the way they're taken care of so why muslims? Who will preserve the proposed muslim in undemanding terms jails and how many greater concessions would be expected on the grounds of religion? The greater we appease them the weaker they think approximately us and the greater concessions they call for. i'm ill of it, so a ways as i'm worried the only particular therapy they might desire to get is deportation.

Answer 4

No totally disagree with seperate prisons for muslim why should they be segregated from the rest of the prison population they committed a crime they have to do the time.
They planned to kill innocent men, women and children all for some sick religious idealology. I am not surprised they been attacked in our prisons. I have read that a couple of weeks ago one of the ricin terrorists was hospitalised after being attacked. Why should they get special treatment just because they are muslim what about the prisoners of different faiths should they get special treatment because of their faith no way. UK muslims who commit crimes on UK soil should not expect to get any special treatment anywhere in Britain just because of their faith. UK muslims have become far too demanding and its time they left the UK and went back to where they came from they don't fit into this country and they are not true British and they have no loyalty to this country if you asked them to fight for this country they'd give you the finger they'd sooner fight for osama bin laden.

Answer 5

What about CofE Christian Prisons devout prayer, getting up at 4 a.m. for morning service, hard work, singing Psalms soon put people back on straight and narrow, or Catholic prisons where the Priests could swap stories of the young people who they have guided through the minefield of adolescence, sounds like a real good Idea, mix the Sunnies and the Shiitties and let them form their own teams for ethnic games, like kilforfun and kikhedin. Yep seems like old McGordon got it right, Guantanamo Bay could be a cost effective ready made institution to copy, many Arabs prefer liv ing under canvass.

Answer 6

I hope these prisoners have been charged with something valid or they wouldn't be the terrorists.

This is making this country look careless and Imperialistic to the worst degree. Why do away with Habeus Corpus for the first time ever, with all the funds and 'intelligence' out there don't someone know if they're arresting real terrorists or just Muslim looking people?

Why don't they find OBL??

Answer 7

Your link doesn't seem to work, or at least i couldn't find any reference on the page to that story.

I suppose it might have some advantages, a bit like in NI where Republicans and Loyalists were locked separately form each other and from the general prison population.

Who cares, as long as the right people are inside?

Answer 8

AAAAARRRRGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!
My blood is boiling!
The term prison is to take someone out of society, to learn from there mistakes by hardship and then after their term is served release them back into society, hopefully a better person. By taking them out of society it means they are no longer PART OF SOCIETY!! Social rights are TAKEN AWAY!!!! They cannot have what they had with their freedom, they have no rights, that is their punishment.
If praying and certain foods are so important to them they they should understand NOT to commit crimes in a foriegn country where its not common practice as these rights will be taken away!! Why are we bringing society to them in prison!!!
What is the punishment??? Where is the hardship!????
When my children are naughty and get sent to their room I dont then go up and take sweets, favourite toys, books and their friends!!!!They have to learn that, that is their punishment and hopefully after a couple of times they wont do it again.
I`m aiming this at every prisoner, muslim or not.
Bring back the chain gangs and hard labour not prisoners are getting their religious beliefs ignored!!
If they are so god fearing they wouldn`t have committed the crime in the first place!!
Am i the only person to think this in a world gone mad!!!
Prisoners eat better than most of our pensioners in the uk!!!!
WWWWWWHHHHHHHYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!???????????

Answer 9

How ridiculous!!!! Why on earth would we want to protect that scum??
We waste enough money just housing these MF, and now we're going to build them a new prison, just so they can all get together to plan their next attack!

I so wish i was in charge of the country....i know what I'd do with them!

Answer 10

Let us hope that it isn't built on the cheap so an electrical fault doesn't cause a fire or a badly installed gas boiler doesn't emit carbon monoxide and kill all the inmates.
