The Alaska Department of Corrections has agreed to policy changes to accommodate Muslim inmates who wish to practice their religion, settling a lawsuit brought last year.
A federal judge Friday signed the agreement in a case brought on behalf of two Muslim inmates by the Council on American-Islamic Relations, which argued that meals provided to the men during the holy month of Ramadan did not meet caloric standards under federal health guidelines. They also said the meals were cold when others received hot meals and sometimes contained pork at odds with their faith.

Seems to me Alaska officials accommodated them perfectly fine short of shooting them at 6:00 am or first light.

They also said the meals were cold when others received hot meals...Well, dipwads, eat when the other inmates eat and you will receive hot meals. Wait until 9 at night to eat them and they are a bit cold. Dimwits.

Well, ... Brown Bears need to eat too, I say.

They need to experience anal sex. Any chance they can transfer black inmates from Corcoran?

meals provided to the men during the holy month of Ramadan In your wildest dreams can you imagine the AP referring to "the holy period of Passover", or "the holy period of Christmas"? Not a chance.

Impeach the judge.
Put the prisoners on a diet of shrimp and pork, and tell anyone who complains to go to prison themselves and stay there.

Move their prison to Barrow, Alaska.

If you cant do the time, dont do the crime.
So to accommodate their religious desires apply Syria law, and remove the required body parts.

Were these Islamoscumbags practicing their religion when they committed their crimes?

How about letting them mosque up outside in winter?

I thought we had a ‘separation from State’ legal credo in this country. School children, who must attend school and who have done nothing antisocial, are not able to openly practice their religion in schools. But we allow, cater to, the Muslim population who have committed crime against society
