Al Qaeda Still Recruits In U.S. Jails

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1053758/posts

WASHINGTON – Despite a government crackdown, Al Qaeda continues to recruit members in U.S. prisons.

U.S. officials said Al Qaeda’s recruitment has been facilitated by Muslim clergy with access to federal and state prisons. They said the organization has succeeded in winning new members despite tighter rules instituted by authorities since the Al Qaeda suicide attacks in September 2001.

Officials said Muslim chaplains have facilitated Al Qaeda recruitment. They cited the case of Warith Deen Umar, the administrative chaplain for the New York State Corrections Department, said to have preached that the Al Qaeda suicide attackers who killed more than 3,000 Americans were heroes.

re post no. 8130

Thanks Fair Opinion for posting that article.

Yep.

Low lifes (from street type gang-bangers, organized crime to jihad types) recruiting in the prison system has been pretty well documented over the years.
