America’s Academies for Jihad
Wall Street Journal ^ | March 31, 2015 | Ayaan Hirsi Ali

Posted on 04/02/2015 8:00:08 PM PDT by iowamark

Less than a year after I moved to the United States in 2006, I was asked to speak at the University of Pittsburgh. Among those who objected to my appearance was a local imam, Fouad El Bayly, of the Johnstown Islamic Center. "when you decide to defame it deliberately, the sentence is death.”

After a local newspaper reported Mr. Bayly’s comments, he was forced to resign from the Islamic Center. That was the last I would hear of him—or so I thought.

Imagine my surprise when I learned recently that the man who threatened me with death for apostasy is being paid by the U.S. Justice Department to teach Islam in American jails...

What can be done to stop prisons from becoming academies of jihad? Here are four suggestions:

1) Choose better partners than the Islamic Society of North America and the Islamic Leadership Council to screen prison chaplains. The American Islamic Forum for Democracy, founded and led by M. Zuhdi Jasser, a medical doctor and former lieutenant commander in the U.S. Navy, would be a good choice.

2) Prevent radical clerics from coming into prisons to spread their message to susceptible inmates.

3) Ban radical Islamist literature from being disseminated in U.S. prisons.

4) Stop placing inmates in proximity to radicalized mentors.

The fact that Fouad El Bayly, an imam who publicly called for my death, was chosen to provide “religious services, leadership and guidance” at a federal prison shows that U.S. authorities haven’t learned the right lessons from a growing list of prison-convert terrorists. Bringing in radical imams to mentor vulnerable inmates will not do anyone any good—least of all prisoners looking for a better path in life.

Acceptance of Islam is not rehibilitation. Though some fraction of slaves from Africa were muzzies, Islam is sedition to the US constitution. US black muzzies are mistaken in trying to emulate Islam. They should try moving to any Arab majority country.

Couldn't get the whole article, but what you posted was chilling enough.

There are far too many prison inmates who become radical Islamists...it's beyond coincidence. Prison reform is needed.

WHY is the US Government paying for ANY Muslim to preach to or “serve” prisoners?

Whatever happened to “separation of church and state” that the Left whines about?

Here's a tip: Copy the exact article title, paste in Google News Search box and you'll find one that's not behind the paywall - even on the original site itself like this one ...

And apparently, at the WSJ, you need to close the tab with the paywall site you ran into ... huh. Usually that's not necessary.

America’s Academies for Jihad <\A>

>>Islam is sedition to the US constitution.

Worth saying again.

>>US black muzzies are mistaken in trying to emulate Islam.

There is a reason the word for slave in Arabic, “abed”, is the same as the word for black.

Not outrageous if the American government has been infiltrated by Muslims.

That's the whole idea.
