'Radical Islam' Reportedly An Issue in Prisons
The August 20, 2005 edition of the Los Angeles Times has a worth-reading article headlined "Radical Islam an Issue in Prisons."
Such concerns are nothing new. Prison authorities have been worried about Islam in U.S. prison since the advent of the Nation of Islam. However, what is news is the fear that Muslims coming out prisons could become warriors in the defensive Jihad currently underway, to expel the U.S. from Muslim lands and protect Muslim resources.
Specifically, there is concern about keeping Salafi Dawa out of the prisons. The fear is that they will convert inmates to so-called "Wahhabism".
Prison authorities can fill each prison with a CIA trained, approved and paid imam and it would not prevent a Muslim who truly believes that his or her life and death are for Allah from doing what he or she can to protect the faith and Muslims when they are under attack. Once a Muslim leaves prison, he or she can get from the Internet what was not permitted while incarcerated.
