Christian inmates at Riverside Regional Jail in North Prince George, Virginia, who want space to “live their lives in accordance with the Bible,” are being attacked by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) because CAIR wants Muslim space for inmates, too. The central issue of the lawsuit filed by CAIR is that the Christian “God-Pod” is segregated, but the same privilege is not extended to Muslims. If found to be in violation of the Constitution’s Establishment Claus, then the “God-Pod” will be dismantled, and that should settle this matter, right? Wrong. The lawsuit filed by CAIR not only calls for the dismantling of the “God-Pod.” It also “details how the Muslim plaintiffs have been denied adequate meals during Ramadan, access to Islamic programming and to pork-free meals as required by their faith.”

Such special privileges are not demanded by Christian inmates. So in addition to dismantling the Christian group’s quarters, CAIR saw an opportunity to broaden its demands.

Demands for Ramadan meals and special accommodation for Muslims in jail did not begin with the “God-Pod” case. Last summer, a Judge ordered the state of Washington to provide Ramadan meals to Muslim inmates. And now that demand has expanded to include “Islamic programming” and “pork free meals.”

CAIR operates on a win-win policy: manipulate the very framework of democratic societies to subtly gain special privileges and accommodations for Muslims; when it encounters a roadblock (or even any criticism), its operatives scream “Islamophobia.” While CAIR rejects the Judeo-Christian roots of every Western country, it indefatigably pursues its Muslim Brotherhood-mandated mission of stealth jihad.

Segregating inmates based on their willingness to study and live their lives in accordance with the Bible is a clear violation of the Constitution’s Establishment Clause,” said CAIR National Litigation Director Lena Masri.

CAIR cares nothing about fairness and equity. The group actively fosters the idea that Islam is the only religion in the West that people must not insult. People are terrified of insulting Islam precisely because of years of bullying by CAIR and other groups like it, as well as because of the violent attacks endured by those who have criticized or mocked Muhammad.

CAIR, with its documented links to jihad terror, is adept at manipulating the freedom of religion to force special accommodation for Islam upon all institutions, which is particularly disturbing when the institution in question is a prison. Another key issue involved in this case is the fact that there is a jihadist problem in prisons.

Israel, France, the United Kingdom, and other countries that have faced a persistent terrorism threat have found that putting terrorists in jail does not solve the problem. In jail, terrorists network and proselytize.

Jihad recruitment is rampant in prisons without any attempts to curb it. The more Islamized prisons become, the more dangerous those prisons will be for infidels. That danger will spread to the general population once these jihadis are released.
