re: #345 Mich-again

I wouldn’t torture the terrorist prisoners, but I wouldn’t coddle them either. As for spending resources to enable their religion behind bars by offering prayer mats, Korans, feeding them halal food only, I say the hell with all of that.

Why? Would you approve of forbidding Christian prisoners the Bible?

Please remember that in many cases we’re talking only about suspected terrorists, who haven’t been convicted, let alone charged.

Not all Muslims are extremists anyway. Why not give them freedom to practice their religion in custody, a freedom that many (if not most) Muslim countries deny to others? Isn’t that also a way for American values to triumph?
