Upcoming King hearings on prison jihadist recruitment: the complainers come out

Rep. Pete King is holding the second hearimg on "radical" Islam, this one concentrating on the prison system and how jihadists are recruited through what is called "prison da'wa".  Of course the loons have made an appearance and are trying to now set up the evil Islamophobia masquerade. 

"The protesters included an imam who works as a chaplain in a county jail on Long Island. He says he has seen no evidence of terrorist recruitment at the jail."

Uh huh, and what else would he be expected to say, that terrorist recruitment is rampant and maybe he should have said something years ago, but because he ministers to Muslims, and the Qur'an requires fealty between Muslims and hatred towards everyone else, his choice was no choice: Islam first above all.  Taqiyya also plays a vital part, and as an imam he knows all to well the demand of Muslims to lie when feeling threatened.

Wait for the first accusation of racism against Muslims, and a call to investigate extremist Christians or the dangerous Mennonite clan in cellblock D.

We don't have to wait, they have done it already.

Law Enforcement Officials at King Hearing Claim Radical Islam Infiltrating U.S. Prisons 


A former New York prisons official testified Wednesday that radical Muslims have made "sustained efforts" to indoctrinate inmates in America, at the second hearing on Islamic radicalization held by Rep. Peter King.


The first round of King's hearings on domestic threats in March drew passionate protests, and the hearing Wednesday on radicalization in U.S. prisons drew similar objections. Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., the top Democrat on the House Homeland Security Committee, said at the opening of the hearing that the threat of terrorism from U.S. converts in prison is "small."


"There are other threats to be concerned about," Thompson said.

Just how small and exactly what other threats?  Angry Mormons?  Disturbed L.Ron Hubbard followers?  Disgruntled Ba'hai?


Rep. Laura Richardson, D-Calif., suggested the hearing was "racist," asking why Muslims in prisons are being targeted as opposed to other religious or ethnic minorities.

I suppose the reason we don't target other religions or minorities is that they don't demand conversion, enslavement or death for those not following the program.  Also, what race is Islam again?


But law enforcement officials called to testify said Islamic radicalization in the prison system is a real threat.


Patrick Dunleavy, a retired official in the New York State Department of Correctional Services, said radical Muslims have been trying to convert U.S. inmates to their cause for decades.


"Despite appearances, prison walls are porous," he said. "Individuals and groups that subscribe to radical Islamic ideology have made sustained efforts to target inmates for indoctrination."


Kevin Smith, former federal prosecutor in California, cited the case of Kevin James and Levar Washington, who pleaded guilty in 2007 to "conspiracy to levy war against the United States through terrorism."


Smith called it a "seditious conspiracy" hatched inside California's prison system.


Michael Downing, a top official in the Los Angeles Police Department, described the conversions as a "phenomena of low volume," but one that holds "high consequence" considering the sheer size of the U.S. prison population.


"We do have a problem," he said. "Prisons are communities at risk."


King, R-N.Y., claims the prisons are a hotbed of radical conversion, but that he's not targeting Muslims.


"What I'm targeting is violent terrorists and extremists, and ... the fact is that Al Qaeda itself has said it will recruit within the Muslim-American community.

Yet there are sway too many who wish this was not so, and they click their heels three times to make it go away.
