Stated another way, the number of Muslims in British prisons has jumped by more than 200% over the past 15 years.<\/p>\n<p>The rate of increase of Muslim inmates in British prisons is eight times faster than that of the overall prison population and the numbers show a clear overrepresentation of Muslim convicts: Muslims now comprise 13% of the British prison population (compared to just 6% in 1997). By comparison, Muslims make up roughly 5% of the British population as a whole.<\/p>\n<p>The growth in the number of Muslim inmates is fuelling fears that British prisons are becoming hotbeds for Islamic radicalization.<\/p>\n<p>Although most of the Muslims in British prisons are immigrants from Asia, the Middle East and North Africa, an increasing number of Muslim inmates are converts to Islam.<\/p>\n<p>According to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/publications\/an-exploration-of-staff-prisoner-relationships-at-hmp-whitemoor-12-years-on\">research report<\/a> recently commissioned by the British Ministry of Justice, many non-Muslim inmates in British prisons are being bullied into conversion or are embracing Islam in exchange for promises of protection from physical assault.<\/p>\n<p>The study examines the Islamic \u201cgang culture\u201d inside the Whitemoor Prison in Cambridgeshire which houses around 500 of the most dangerous prisoners in Britain. Researchers from the Cambridge Institute of Criminology who wrote the report found that more than one third (39%) of the prisoners at Whitemoor are Muslims.<\/p>\n<p>Prisoners told the researchers that they had felt overwhelming pressure to convert. In some cases Muslim inmates left Islamic literature in their cells and ordered them to \u201cread this.\u201d In other cases, inmates were promised they would be safe from physical assault if they embraced Islam.<\/p>\n<p>The report says that by converting to Islam, loners including sex offenders gained safety from joining a large and dominant group, as fellow Muslims would defend them. Others used their newly acquired faith status as a tool for establishing influence.<\/p>\n<p>Non-Muslims and prison officers inside Whitemoor described Islam as an \u201corganized gang\u201d and a \u201cprotection racket\u201d which \u201cglorified terrorist behavior and exploited the fear related to it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Prison guards said there were \u201cproper Al-Qaeda\u201d members in the prison who were regarded with \u201cawe\u201d by younger inmates. Some prisoners described Whitemoor as a \u201crecruiting drive for the Taliban\u201d and fertile ground for hatred and a new generation of extremists.<\/p>\n<p>Guards also said they had a policy of \u201cappeasement\u201d towards the powerful and growing Islamic population, particularly convicted terrorists who were feared to be recruiting future extremists.<\/p>\n<p>The report states: \u201cThe threat of assaults motivated by religious fanaticism or extremist ideology added weight to the atmosphere at Whitemoor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The report continues: \u201cThe new population mix, including high numbers of Muslim prisoners, was disrupting established hierarchies in the prison. Social relations among prisoners had become complex and less visible. Too much power flowed among some groups of prisoners, with some real risks of serious violence. There were high levels of fear in the prison. In particular, there were tensions and fears relating to \u2018extremism\u2019 and \u2018radicalization.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The report concludes: \u201cMore prominent, in practice, were pressures (and temptations) felt by some prisoners to convert to Islam. Conditions in the prison made participation in Islamic practices the most \u2018available\u2019 option for those looking for belonging, meaning, \u2018brotherhood,\u2019 trust and friendship.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, British media recently reported that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mirror.co.uk\/news\/uk-news\/dale-cregan-targeted-muslim-prison-1995975\">Dale Cregan<\/a>, a notorious quadruple murderer who is serving a life sentence at the Manchester Prison, is being targeted by extremist Muslims who want to convert him to Islam.<\/p>\n<p>Cregan, who is of an Irish Catholic background, is said to be afraid of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-2341586\/Underworld-gang-boss-20-000-bounty-prisoner-attacks-Dale-Cregans-good-eye-jail.html\">rival gang members<\/a> who have offered a bounty to anyone who attacks him in prison. Muslims have offered to protect Cregan if he converts to Islam. According to prison officials, Cregan is so well known that if he converts to Islam, it would be seen as a way to further increase the influence of Muslim gangs inside the prison.<\/p>\n<p>The growing problem of Muslim gangs taking over British prisons was the topic of a recent <a href=\"http:\/\/news.bbc.co.uk\/2\/hi\/uk_news\/8558590.stm\">BBC investigation<\/a>. The program includes an interview with a former inmate named Jay, who says: \u201cMuslims run it. Muslims run the prisons and there\u2019s nothing the screws [British slang for a prison guard] can do about it. For a Muslim you\u2019d say it\u2019s good but for a non-Muslim, it\u2019s very, very bad.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jay, who has been in and out of prison for most of his life, openly admits to helping to convert non-Muslim inmates to Islam and has meted out violence against anyone who dares to \u201cdisrespect\u201d his religion.<\/p>\n<p>According to Jay, \u201cIt hurts as a Muslim to have someone disrespect my religion. If we deal with him one time, with violence, and show him what time it is, he will never disrespect our religion again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jay first went to prison when he was 15 and says there were hardly any Muslims inmates back then. \u201cAt the beginning not many knew about Islam. There weren\u2019t many converts. The mosque was empty, but nowadays jails are run mostly by the Muslims,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are certain brothers that convert purely on the basis that they read Islam and they want to believe in something that does good for them. Then other people because they want to be looked after. I\u2019ve been in jail five times and on my last occasion, I\u2019ve seen jails being run by Muslim inmates. Muslim prayers on a Friday are very, very busy. In some prisons there\u2019s no space. In one jail I was in, they do the prayers in two sessions because there\u2019s no space,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>The BBC investigation also includes an interview with the national chairman of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.poauk.org.uk\/index.php?home\">Prison Officers Association<\/a>, Colin Moses, who says: \u201cPeople are being radicalized, forcibly radicalized by these gangs. We see it as a real danger, now and for the future of prisons.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Moses says that those who are in gangs or have converted to Islam often do it to carry out criminal activities. \u201cAs the Muslim population grows, the gangs are becoming more and more prevalent by the week and they fight to take control of the drug trade and the dealing of mobile phones in prison. This will make our prisons even more violent,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking anonymously, a former prison officer who worked at the Long Lartin Prison in Worcestershire talks about cases where non-Muslim prisoners were seriously assaulted and intimidated for refusing to abide by unofficial rules imposed by Muslim gangs, about eating pork or listening to Western music.<\/p>\n<p>Writing in the July 2013 issue of the prisoner\u2019s magazine <a href=\"http:\/\/www.insidetime.org\/mailbag.asp?a=1177&amp;c=hmp_long_lartin_radicalising_extremists\"><i>Inside Time<\/i><\/a>, a \u201clong serving prisoner\u201d at Long Lartin has this to say: \u201cWe are able to cook our own food here but if we attempt to cook pork in the communal kitchen it is deemed dangerous, even a threat to your life. The kitchen is usually occupied by 90% Muslims and we have been told if we cook pork we will be stabbed. There have been incidents here where people have been targeted and pressured and bullied into converting to Islam.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He adds: \u201cI am writing to inform people of these radical extremists views in this prison where I see no official steps being taken to combat them. Young Muslim men are being radicalized in here and one day they may commit acts of terrorism in this country. There seems to be nothing being done here to stop it and people are scared to speak out. I hope we get some feedback from this; it needs to be sorted out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.soerenkern.com\/\"><i>Soeren Kern<\/i><\/a><i> is a Senior Fellow at the New York-based <\/i><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gatestoneinstitute.org\/\"><i>Gatestone Institute<\/i><\/a><i>.
