A top Senate Republican is warning that the federal Bureau of Prisons could be letting Muslim groups with terror ties vet chaplains and religious instructors, increasing the risk of indoctrination and radicalism behind bars.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, in a letter to the agency, flagged "recent revelations that the bureau enlisted an organization previously found to have ties to terrorist organizations" to screen potential Islamic chaplains.
"It is imperative that the BOP take every measure possible to ensure the safety of its personnel within federal prisons and take all reasonable measures to ensure that Islamic extremism is stopped at the gates of each prison. Currently, it is not clear whether the BOP is doing so," Grassley wrote in the Jan. 27 letter to BOP Acting Director Thomas Kane, asking for clarification on the prisons' vetting policies and compliance.
The letter comes after the bureau provided Grassley a list of the organizations that are helping vet religious services for the prisons.
One of those organizations turned out to be the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), which was listed as an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation terror financing case in 2008. In that case, five members of the Holy Land Foundaiton were convicted funneling $12 million to Hamas, which is a designated terrorist organization under U.S. law.

Grassly? I thought he was one of those wishy-washy Rinos?
even a broken clock is right twice a day. LOL
CAIR is a terrorist organization.
Caliphate. teamobama will be releasing many of those prisoners out on our streets soon.
GITMO is a radical madrassa run by the US Government.
Halal meals, set prayer time, the infidels wear gloves when handling the “holy” Koran, inmates choose their leaders.
Here’s a much more intriguing question to ask: How come there are so few Muslim women being allowed to perform these services?
He has a valid concern.
Yep, that will be one of 0bama’s parting shots to Americans before leaving office.
I don’t dispute his concern, I just didn’t think Grassly had it in him to actually take a conservative stance.
He will do it before the elections, because everyone has the right to vote doncha know!
Grassley should have run as a Favorite Son candidate in Iowa.
