Emerson: How to stop the Muslim extremists recruiting prison inmates to terrorism
Radicalism in prisons is a problem that has been festering for years. The Department of Justice’s Inspector General issued a report in 2004 with a host of recommendations for tamping it down, but there’s little sign any action has been taken.
That President Obama now wants to transfer hundreds of hardened jihadists into American prisons is a guarantee that they will serve as emissaries and proselytizers of jihad to the thousands of prisoners they are exposed to. In virtually no time, it is all but certain - based on past patterns of radical Islamic growth in jails that we have investigated - that we will witness the number of radical Islamic inmates multiply by thousands, maybe more.
The Guantanamo prisoners will be looked up as jihadi rock stars and each one could potentially produce a hundred new ticking time bombs ultimately walking the streets of America.
