Alaska reaches settlement in case brought by Muslim inmates
AP ^ | Sept. 6, 2019 | BECKY BOHRER

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.

Simple solution: Sharia Law for Muslim inmates. In Saudi Arabia, family and friends are responsible for bringing in the meals. Don’t have either? You should’ve thought of that before doing the crime.

“Federal Health Guidelines”

Boo frickin’ hoo. I recall when I was stationed in Korea, I can’t recall if it’s the local jails, or “state” prisons, but I was told that basically, they don’t feed their inmates, or at least not very much. If you want to eat, that’s on you, just like anywhere else. It makes sense, if you think about it. As a bonus, they don’t have Moslems or anybody else suing their ass for not putting a cherry on their chocolate pie. What a bunch of wankers.

It’s very difficult for those Korean prisoners who don’t have family members that care about them. Which is kind of the point, isn’t it.

I think Moslems can eat whale blubber or at least fried porpoise. Matzoh is definitely out.

I’d like to know what the Moslem prisoners were in for: how many for rape, murder, armed robbery or armed attacks, child molesting, fraud, etc.

I get to hear Basic Training stories, you eat what the lineman sticks on your tray, say anything about it and you will regret it the next meal, when Nothing is put on your tray.

Hubby is 20 yr Career Ret. SCPO and you ate what you were given. No special meals except at Christmas, NY or Easter. Toward the end of a cruise you were beating weevils out of your bread, that the cook called Cinnamon Bread.

Bet Christians and Jews get not special meals for their Holidays.

So what would happen if an American in a Muslim jail complained about the food and no place to practice their faith? MMMMM? I’m sure they would do exactly what the Alaskans are accommodating for 2 muslims. UGH. Kleedung coonigalagen?
