A Christian chaplain for the British penal system, Pastor Paul Song, is going to court to get his job back after he was banned for 10 years for exposing Islamic extremism inside prison walls.
The British charity Christian Concern said said Song was banned in 2017 when Imam Mohammed Yusuf Ahmed, the former general secretary of the Islamic Party of Britain who advocated that Britain be transformed into an Islamic state, was made chief chaplain.
Mohammed informed Song: "You do not have permission to enter the wings, nor do you have the permission to speak to any prisoners here at HMP Brixton. If you do turn up here without my prior permission, your keys will be confiscated, and you will be walked to the gate."
Song denied claims he called an inmate a "terrorist" but was banned, nevertheless.
He contested the ban, and, with the support of the Christian Legal Center, took the Ministry of Justice to the High Court.
A government review found the case "troubling," and Song agreed to halt the proceedings to allow officials to make corrections. At the time, 43,000 people signed a petition insisting on his reinstatement.
Song had submitted evidence that while he still was a chaplain, his mainstream evangelical courses were hijacked by Islamic extremists, and inmates took over the prison's Christian chapel.
He also reported threats against him and said Muslim gangs were forcing other inmates to convert to Islam.

The western world handles the Islamic world the way a monkey handles a grenade.
In Matthew 25:31-45, Jesus told us to visit those who are in prison.
It is kind of hard to do this.
Unless maybe we are sent to prison, too?
The truth keeps getting battered....
Currently, all prisons have banned visitors due to Covid.
