| Jailed Islamic extremists want ban on women prison officers |
| 2009-05-26 |
| Jailed Islamic extremists want women prison officers banned from guarding them during Friday prayers - claiming it's against their human rights. Terrorists at Wakefield jail say having them there while they pray is an "insult to their religion". The group at the West Yorks jail - led by convicted terrorist Kamel Bourgass who killed a cop during an anti-terrorism raid - told jail governor Jacqui Tilley of their anger. Female and male prison guards oversee prayers from a glassed office. Services are held in the prison's gym after the 60-strong group refused to pray in the jail's multi-faith chapel because it was used by "non-believers". |

| #12 Besides everyone knows Race trumps Gender on the victimization scale. just look at the DNC Primary. (And yes I know that Islam isn't a race - but that is how it will be decided). |

| #11 Not really that tough, DB. The women and their buddies are unlikely to riot and murder/behead the wussie-assed "authorities." The jihadis, on the other hand.... |

| #10 This could be an almost perfedt catch 22 senario. If the judiciary decides that the Muslims have a right to not be told what to do and to not be guarded by women doesn't that violate the women's rights to be employed regardless of sex? So do we discriminate against Muslims or Women? Tough descision. |

| #9 When you live in a society but refuse to follow its rules, you're a criminal. As a criminal, you have proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that you don't care about the rules of other people. You have forfeited the rights of ordinary, rule-obeying citizens. Get over it. Until you've paid your due to society, and agree to live within its rules, you are nothing but a criminal, with no "rights" other criminals don't have. Live with it. |

| #5 It would be so much easier if the Brits would just get a list of what the RoP followers don't find offensive (it'll be very short -- half a page at most). IMO they'll cave on this. Just a matter of time. |

| #4 None of the prisoners were arrested for praying too loudly, or too often. If society locked them up for murder, they are praying to the wrong Power. |

| #3 But wait! There's more! Now they want a mosque built there. Their single-sex guards demand was refused - but it's feared they could now take their complaint to the European Court and use the Human Rights Act to claim they are being victimised. A prison source said: "They do not believe female guards should oversee Friday prayers - and they go mad when they are told what to do by a woman. But that's life." Okay. Nuthin but women on the prayer detail... |
