Muslim only cells in UK prisons

The Daily Mail has a story about Muslim's apparently demanding Muslim only cells for a variety of reasons including the need to pray and eat away from Non Muslim's.

Clearly, seems the classic Daily Mail story ie singling out Muslims by a lazy journalist who has one source presumably a bent screw.

Unlike the Daily Mail, one would think the prison authorities have learnt the lesson of the Zahid Mubarak tragedy when a Muslim was forced to share a cell with a known racist but due to systemic failure's to heed warning signs Mubarak was brutally murdered.

During the height of the troubles in Northern Ireland authorities realised that different faiths in a closeted environment was a likely cause of tension and as a result separated Catholics and Protestants.

In the USA, due to the gang culture in prison, Mexicans, blacks whites etc are regularly separated to avoid ethnic gang violence erupting.

The journalist was so lazy he did not have time to write about Muslim Chaplin's presumably beause of the good work they are doing trying to help and support Muslim prisoners in order to hopefully ensure they do not reoffend.

  1. Yes, I am sure Daily Mail has an opinion on it. Do they also have an opinion on the protection of child molesters who have their own wings to protect them from beig killed (a surety in prison for sex offenders and child rapists). But I guess that's OK as child abuse is not part of a religion. My father says that in the peodophile wing, the inmates openly express their perversions, put images on their walls etc etc. Surely that is more horrific then eating halal food and praying.
