Muslim gangs in UK jails beating prisoners until they convert to Islam
from Barnabas Fund:
Muslim gangs in UK jails are forcing prisoners to convert to Islam with threats and beatings, according to a new Ministry of Justice report.
“The tactic they use is to befriend someone when they come in. If they don’t convert, they will then start spreading rumours about them, that the person is a snitch (informer), so that they will be ostracised. Then the beatings follow,” said a non-Muslim inmate.
Christian prison pastor Paul Song recently spoke out about Muslim extremists in prisons after he was dismissed from Brixton Prison in London.
Song was kicked out by a Muslim imam who had taken over as head chaplain and disapproved of the pastor’s Christian courses.
“If someone is secular and in prison and they want to lead a peaceful life in prison they need to become Muslim. That way they are protected,” said Song, who was later reinstated.
“Some people have been forced to convert with violence. How do I know? Because three or four people come up to me and tell me,” the pastor added.
The gangs were a well-organised menace with “clearly defined roles including leaders, recruiters, enforcers, followers and foot soldiers”, the 2019 UK government report states.
“Violence, bullying and intimidation were prevalent with the gang, using religion as an excuse to victimise others,” it adds.
