Evil David Millar - who stabbed frail 82-year-old Lucy Marshall to death - will skip his duties in the laundry because of his new faith.
He will be excused from work on Fridays so he can attend prayers.
And he's told pals he'll not have to do chores during the holy month of Ramadan.
The 28-year-old will also receive special halal meals such as curries at Dumfries prison.
"He's told a few of his cronies he won't have to work for the whole of Ramadan, which us basically like getting a month off his duties.
"It's so see-through."
JJail sources claim Millar - who was just 14 when he knifed Lucy in a Buckfast-fuelled frenzy in 1997 in Cowdenbeath, Fife - showed no previous interest in Islam before his conversion.
But it's believed the fitness fanatic thought a Muslim diet would aid his weight training.
One guard said: "It came out of the blue.
"But we're duty-bound to help once a prisoner decides to become Muslim."
Millar - who was detained without limit of time - married behind bars after meeting wife Sheree Malik, 29, on an online dating website for cons.
The SPS said it could not comment on individual cases. /p>
LLast month we revealed how wife killer Malcolm Webster, 52, became a Muslim convert because he fancied better grub.
It may not work out so well for him. Some Muslims take it pretty seriously after all. He could get some pretty serious beatings from them if he does not take it seriously.
Imagine if he should decide that the bacon in the mess hall smells very good some morning and he eats a slice. His fellow Muslims just might beat the crap out of him.
If he doesnt pray to Mecca 5 times a day they just might beat the crap out of him.
If he gets tired of all of the requirements of being a faithful Muslim and tells them he has converted to Christianity they just might kill him.
Suppose he has a jail house love affair with some young new inmate and is caught by his fellow Muslims he could end up dead.
Agreed, and considering the reputation for easygoing environments that many UK (and US) prisons have, I’m guessing that muslim inmates may well have access to news and perhaps internet. They may not take it well when they read the Sun story, or this FR thread, and develop the feeling that he’s exposing their special privileges to the world as well as bringing worldwide derision upon their ‘religion’.
We’ve all read stories of how ‘justice’ among inmates is done inside prisons, and it’s one of the many things that remind most of us that prisons are places that we don’t want to be in.
Oh STOP already!! Muslims will not beat him. They are a “Religion of Peace”.
Slammies comprise a bullying, jealous religion the likes of which the world does not know. Pulling back away from them will not be trivial. If the idjit is lucky some prominent imam will declare he never meant it. If unlucky he’ll have to live out his life in solitary protective confinement.
Better food and less work. Under these circumstances I would be tempted to go Muslim too. Only drawback is prostrating to a false god 5x daily
As far as thinking about the conversion, prolly as much as he thought about how wild he’d get on that Buckfast hyper caffeinated wine.
As if the lad had any, heh, integrity?
“after meeting wife Sheree Malik, 29, on an online dating website for cons.”
Yuppers.
If *I* were single, that’s the very first place I’d go look for a man.
/facepalm
I’m noticing a number of YouTube videos where various thugs, yobs, ne’er do wells, etc attempt to set a record in drinking an entire bottle of that stuff in just a few seconds.
Search Youtube for “Buckfast” for some frightening and sad societal commentary. Many are obviously just young kids.
I’m guessing that it’s much like Thunderbird or other “bum wines” here in the USA. Probably makes you go blind after a while.
There’s a whole subculture of women who are attracted to men in prison. I don’t know anything about it but I’m guessing that they share various sad and / or unsavory traits. It may well be a psychiatric condition.
It’s likened to quaffing eight cans of Coca-Cola along with a potent wine. The stuff was invented by monks, who doubtless sipped it sparingly with consummate Christian self control (how many monk wildings have you heard about lately?)
i’d call them bully-holics
Darn.
I must be lacking that particular psychosis.
Call me crazy, but I’ve always tended towards *avoiding* criminals as romantic prospects.
Being ignorant of such things, I Googled it;
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buckfast_Tonic_Wine
All I can say is...*bleah!*.
Aw come on Scotland just let the guy out like you did the terrorist who blew up the jet, and stop pretending you want to punish him!

Well, there was that whole ‘Inquisition’ episode.
;D
Sounds good and to-the-point.
I would imagine that Buckfast played a prominent role in the recent rioting in the UK.
Undoubtedly, there will be multimillion-pound studies to analyze that question as well as numerous laws passed which will ban or tax high-quality wines for responsible people while maintaining the status quo for the Buckfast crowd.
I’d be hesitant to blame caffeinated wines for the Inquisition. Seems more like banal political aspirations that pretended to the protective cloak of the church.
