Well..that certainly is a good strategy. Recruit criminals for your cause. I'm sure they'll find plenty of willing criminals who will latch on to the "we hate America" line of thinking. They already feel like they're outcasts anyway (as they should...because they are CRIMINALS!).

This is an excellent article and makes a good but frightening read. What amazed me was the special treatment that Muslims have been able to get from the system. I can't imagine that any other group gets to meet without having a guard present or even nearby, for example.

They and their pressure groups are very adept at this. Note the constant references in the article to Saudi funding.

It happens in all environments. Last week I attended a conference of courtroom interpreters, where we were treated to an Arabic interpreter who told us that Muslims need special rules because of cultural reasons. Specifically, they should be allowed to confer with their interpreter (have ex parte conversations, in other words), rather than just speak and have the interpreter translate as they go along. This was to prevent cultural misunderstandings. Guess whose side the Egyptian-born interpreter was on. When the blind sheik shouted "Allah is great, victory to Allah," the interpreter translated it as "Good morning," something he had apparently agreed upon with the defendant. He even went up to the sheik after the trial and apologized to him for being unable to do more to help him. But this was permitted by the Court.

Somehow, Muslims have managed to achieve a level of institutional and media pressure that gives them an enormous advantage in our own country.

SJackson, thanks for posting this excellent article.

For close to two decades, the Nation of Islam and their al Qaeda farm team, al Fuqra, have used the prisons to recruit their dark side criminal element. Often our tax dollars have paid for these Mullahs of Hate to recruit in our prisons.

"Without justice, there will be warfare, and it can come to this country, too," he said. The natural candidates to help press such an attack, in his view: African-Americans who embraced Islam in prison.

This is the fruit of political correctness (don't judge anyone, never accuse anyone of anti-Americanism), ACLU rights-fascism, and Saudi money.

The US ambassador to Saudi Arabia ought to be discussing this with their leaders ... unfortunately even the Bush administration is probably not going to do that.

Scary. Saudi schools and funding -- chaplains in the USMil chosen from a Saudi school.

So Jubeir says wahahahabism is an epithet? Cool.

Keep digging that hole, mullah!

I read this last night in the paper. I couldn't believe it. Simply amazing.

BTTT!
