Terrorism. The Answer?

[needawin]

So what do we have? Three attacks by ISIS in two months.
Five foiled attacks (so we are informed) foiled but no one knows anything about them.
A security analyst interviewed by the BBC states that we are now numb to the Attacks and just carry on as normal!
Amber Rude tells the public that the police numbers are at their highest.
A former Police Commissioner refutes this and says the numbers of police on the streets of London are because they are working 16 hour shifts and being bussed in from other areas!
Authorities being told of suspected terrorists but cannot deal as they have not got the resources!
And the solution from Theresa May. Dress up in the finest and announce that they will increase custodial sentences. For suicide terrorists!
You couldn't make it up!

Where does your 30% figure come from EDDIE?

[EDDIE51]

In jails established Muslim inmates speak to new Muslim inmates in Arabic so that the warders can not understand what is being said, that is a fact I know from having worked inside a jail!

[EDDIE51]

The official % of Muslims in jail is 14 to 20% but many jails including the one I worked in have well over 30%

The % of Muslims in jail is far higher than the % in the general population, another fact the government finds it convenient to ignore!

Eddie, it cannot possibly be true that the people recruiting new converts in prison speak to them only in Arabic. For all start, not all Muslims speak Arabic – and people from the UK and other western countries most certainly, in general, do not. That’s absolute nonsense. And you wonder why people take your posts with a very large pinch of salt! Honestly!!

[douglas9401]

You repeat the 30% but where does the figure come from.
Reading what you've posted it exists only in your head.
As far as working in prisons goes, in what capacity were you employed?

[naomi24]

Eddie, according to government figures at December 2016, Muslims make up 15.2% of the prison population. The government is not ignoring it and the information is freely available.

The wonderful world of EDDIE ... it never ceases to amaze me.

[naomi24]

Nor me.

[ummmm]

Eddie works as a washer upper in a kitchen....but knows everything.

/// The proportion of Muslim prisoners has increased from 8% in 2002 to 15% in 2016. ///

[douglas9401]

Thank you ummmm, Ed appears to have been called away.

He may return with more nuggets of info, real or imagined.

[Kromovaracun]

I thought Eddie was just estimating based on his experience. 15% is still a lot.

[naomi24]

Krom, when you consider that the total Muslim population of this country is about 4.5% (I think), 15% is a huge number.

[baza]

Quite a few of the Muslim people that I have worked with would speak in ,I assume ,Arabic when they did not want us Johnny Brits to understand their conversation.

[naomi24]

baza, I'm guessing they weren't trying to convert you then. If they were, they wouldn't speak in a language you don't understand.

[EDDIE51]

Ummm yes, since I retired I took work as a washer up, but I got a degree in Industrial Chemistry in 1974 which allowed me to work in Zambia for the only fully equipped testing / analytical laboratory in the country.
I also trained Zambians to take over the laboratory jobs that up until then were reserved for 'expats'.
I then did the same in Saudi Arabia where I was teaching Muslim females, I was the only 'western male' who was allowed to work with them while they were not 'veiled'!
I have also worked in the education departement of an open prison teaching adult literacy.
After that I ran a water treatment plant in a cement works for 8 years where I had the Environment dept on my back if I allowed the water quality to drop . I had to treat 250 tonnes of highly contaminated water a day and return it to a small river clean enough to not harm the environment.
Add that to the fact that I also ran a sports club bar and have my own personal licence to sell alcohol.
So all in all I have had a bit of experience ! as well as being a washer up. Even the washing up progressed to being allowed to cook food in a pro kitchen serving 1350 meals a day!
I also did some paid photography work back in the 1970s and had work published in the Daily Mirror as well as doing a few wedding shoots!

[naomi24]

Eddie, // I was the only 'western male' who was allowed to work with them while they were not 'veiled'! //

I don't believe that either.

[EDDIE51]

PS the most recent figures show that while the % of the general population in jail is staying the same, the % of Muslims in jail is rising year on year by up to 20% !!!!
I do not know why but I do know it is true and many jails have well over 30% Muslim inmates!

[douglas9401]

Methinks the gentleman doth protest too much.

[EDDIE51]

Naomi I can only assure you it is true and I am NOT lieing ! I worked for Aramco in Dhahran Saudi Arabia. The laboratory had a link with the University of Petroleum and Minerals which was / is also in Dhahran, my female students came from the UPM as well as Aramco.
Sorry I can't provide a link, this was in 1981 before the internet existed! You are going to have to take my word for it!
