February 10, 2009 Part Two: Islam in American Prisons By Kathy Shaidle RightSideNews Copyright © 2009
"One in 10 inmates behind bars turns to Islam."
It was small story in a local newspaper called the Daily Herald out of Everett, Washington, but it spread quickly around the internet, thanks to that startling claim.
The paper's February 2009 investigation declared that so-called "prison Islam" was the fastest-growing religious group in U.S. correctional facilities.
Some of those worshippers claim affiliation with the Nation of Islam (NOR), a black separatist movement that was launched and promoted by two convicts, Elijah Mohammed and his protégé Malcolm X. Strictly speaking, however, NOR has little in common with orthodox Islam; it is more accurately described as a political pseudo-religion, held up to African-Americans as an alternative to "pacifist" "Eurocentric" Christianity. However, Lawrence Mimiya told the Daily Herald that most Muslims in prison today are Sunni converts. Mamiya, a professor at Vassar College who studies Muslim prison ministries, says that "just one in five who convert to Islam while in prison continue on in that faith once they are released." (Note: the number of Muslims in the U.S. population at large is estimated at one percent, or 8 million individuals.)

Is this to say, then, that the U.S. population at large is 800 million? Geez, that is large.
I watched as 20 and 30 and 40 years ago the government and our institutions aggressively promoted Islam, primarily to blacks, especially in prisons.
At one time democrats were transferring millions of dollars to the black Muslims by hiring them to run security in housing projects.
Islam was pushed by the culture in movies and on TV (remember Phil Donahue) as a way to instill pride and militant discipline in blacks, getting them away from the “white man’s Jesus”.
Word’s spoken by a convert to Christianity:
In Islam, men send their sons to die for their God.
In Christianity, God sent his Son to die for man.
In 1969 I did something stupid .. and got a 6 month sentence ... Islam was not outrageously displayed, but it was very popular among blacks ... that’s almost 40 years ago, folks.
Sorry .. I just now read YOUR reply ... yup ... whatchoosaid.
bttt
Yes, but this is not a religion. It’s a death cult cleverly disguised as a religion.
Behold the Islamic Republic of America coming to you real soon.
Islam does not deserve 1st Amendment protection.
