In the UK, and probably in other Western countries, a disproportionate number of prisoners are Muslim. Some convert in prison; Islam is attractive to criminals since it provides certainty without condemning the criminal activity. Our prisons are too soft on "ethnic minorities" and have become hotbeds of jihad. From the Daily Mail, with thanks to Alan:

Emergency plans have been drawn up over fears that a prison officer could be taken hostage by Muslim fanatics inside Britain's jails.
 

The dossier has been compiled in the past few months amid mounting racial tension in the prison system.
 

Racial tension? What race are Muslims?

Intelligence gathered from within Britain's eight top-security prisons claims specific threats to kidnap and behead an officer first surfaced six months ago at Whitemoor Prison in Cambridgeshire.
 

But sources say the growing concern over security and the threat to prison officers is not confined to one jail.
 

'This is a threat faced by officers in prisons across the country,' said the source.
 

'This is why the prison service is preparing direct intervention if ever a prison officer is taken hostage.'
 

Details of the contingency plans emerged just days after Muslim prisoners at Frankland prison in County Durham claimed they would kidnap and execute an officer and film it on mobile phones.

What are prisoners doing with mobile phones? Are they allowed? If not, are they being smuggled in?

Sources there say the prison is 'like a powder-keg, just waiting to go off', adding that 'the tension is rising daily'.
 

In July last year Dhiren Barot, an Al Qaeda operative serving 30 years for a dirty-bomb plot, had a pot of boiling water poured over his head.
 

Barot's lawyer, Muddassar Arani, warned at the time that 'race riots' had erupted at the prison, describing it as 'an extremely dangerous environment for ethnic-minority prisoners'.
 

She claimed: 'People talk about radicalisation, but if there is a death that takes place in custody, then there will be a backlash.'
 

This reminds me of the mock headline: "Muslims fear backlash after tomorrow's terrorist attack." And what's this about "a death that takes place"? Sawing someone's head off is a brutal - and very Muslim - murder, not a death that, passively, accidentally, takes place.
