A disturbing report by the Justice Department Inspector General has revealed that incarcerated terrorists associated with international jihadist groups like al-Qaida, ISIS, and al-Shabaab have been allowed to lead religious services in Bureau of Prisons' (BOP) chapels.
"We found that some institutions permitted inmates with a known nexus to international or domestic terrorism to lead religious services," said the report, which was issued earlier this month.
The Inspector General investigated the BOP's overall Chaplaincy Services Program (CSP), and how it balances inmates' rights to faith-based activity with security risks.
Not only did prison administrators allow terrorists to run religious services, the report found, but they also ascribed religious titles to them, like amir, which means ruler, or commander of the faithful.
The danger in this practice, allowing inmates to lead worship services and granting them official titles, the Inspector General noted, "presents a risk that inmate religious leaders could misuse services to encourage violent behavior, [and] radicalize other inmates."
This practice, granting religious titles to inmate religious leaders, has surfaced before. In 2012, convicted terrorist John Walker Lindh, known as the "American Taliban," and several other Muslim inmates in Terre Haute's maximum security facility were allowed to serve as prayer leaders. A federal judge even ruled that, while the warden had a genuine concern about the influence terrorist-convicts could exert, the BOP had no policy prohibiting inmates from choosing their own religious leaders.

Like they say: Islam isn’t a religion, it’s a battle plan.
We are led by idiots, perverts, and criminals.
If China blew up D.C. with a nuclear missile I would have a hard time not feeling both angry and relieved. Freedom from the parasitic class would be hard not to enjoy.
It's all over folks.
Jailed? They should be executed or sent to Gitmo, never allowed to interact with other prisoners.
Hate to be Debbie Downer but that's what I told my husband just a few days ago. We lost.
My state-level prison system has a lot of problems, but they’re pretty good at avoiding this kind of crap. These dudes would’ve been classified as a threat to internal security and their movements and associations limited.

What else happened on 2012?? Right, Obama installed his Islamic styled program throughout government.
Then you shouldn’t be one. What purpose does it serve?
