Prisoners revert to Islam to get Muslim gang protection

The Chief Inspector of Prisons has warned in a report that up to a third of Muslim prisoners have reverted to Islam to gain the protection of powerful Muslim gangs inside Jails,

London Muslim has written about this previously however with Chief Inspector Dame Anne Owers report the issue is now official rather than anecdotal. She raises a number of interesting recommendations not least the need to treat Muslim lags as individuals rather than a "blanket approach" which according to her drives all Muslims in to the hands of the fruitcakes.

London Muslim feels the screws also have a lot to answer for given some of their racist attitudes towards Muslims which is also counterproductive.

  1. Just because an official reports on something does not make it official. It is still anecdotal until a study is done, in which case we compile all the anecdotes into a lump and draw conclusions.

  3. Do muslims regard those who converted under pressure true muslims?

    Or do they recognise that any belief adopted under the threat of violence is basically bullshit?
