Heart-ache: Jailed Al Qaeda capos complain British prisons are “too white”

They’ve caught a beating or two from the other inmates, which, it seems, must be due to racism. Really? Prisons have always had codes by which certain types of offenders deemed especially contemptible by the other cons — pedophiles, most notably — are singled out for rough treatment. Might international terrorists also fall within that category?
I guess if objecting to the hijab as anti-feminist is “Islamophobic” then picking a fight with a guy for working for Osama is “prejudiced.”
Two of Britain’s most dangerous terrorists have been moved to different prisons after complaining their fellow inmates were “too white”…
They said they were at risk from other inmates – who are predominantly white – and claimed the environment was “dangerous” to ethnic minority prisoners. It is thought they had received death threats and attacks.
Although their requests were initially turned down, Barot, who is serving a minium of 30 years, has since been moved to Belmarsh in south-east London…
Barot’s solicitor Miss Mudassar Arani, asked if his client could be removed from Frankland prison after a fellow inmate threw boiling water and oil over him last July…
[S]he alleged there was a “white supremacist” culture at Frankland and called for the creation of Muslim-only prisons.
It is understood that Barot was originally housed in Belmarsh prison before being moved to Frankland for radicalising other inmates.
So they moved him back to the prison where he was having success turning people to jihad. Here’s a little added gloss on the story, from the Guardian last month. Are the other inmates brutalizing Barot and company — or vice versa? Quote:
In recent weeks three disturbances have taken place at [Frankland]. The Prison Officers Association (POA) said many of those involved had been moved to Frankland from Belmarsh Prison in London. ‘They don’t want to be in Frankland; they want to be in Belmarsh with their friends. They are getting more organised and want to be together in one place, which is scary,’ said Steve Gough, vice-chairman of the POA…
Last month Khyam was alleged to have scalded another inmate, Malcolm Cruddas, an armed robber.
Exit question: You remember Dhiren Barot, don’t you? Sure you do.

That must be changed. Must make inmates comfortable.
Wade on March 22, 2008 at 5:52 PM
Awww, did the poor, poor widdle jihadi get picked on? Yet another victim of the racist, Zionist Crusader Plot Against Islam(tm)(c). Poor baby.
The clowns should count themselves lucky. If they had been in some prisons here, the guards would have joined in.
irishspy on March 22, 2008 at 5:56 PM
Barry O can look into this after the election. He’ll have a LOT of free time come the first Wednesday in November.
Mojave Mark on March 22, 2008 at 5:56 PM
Aw, poor baby. Not so tough when he doesn’t have women and children to hide behind is he?
The saddest part is that liberals actually lose sleep over this kind of junk. It’s more distressing to their fragile little hearts that a terrorist is slighted than when innocents are murdered by said terrorist. Heart-ache indeed.
Grayson on March 22, 2008 at 5:56 PM
AP nailed it.
It couldn’t possibly be because the terrorist scumbags are too jihadi….
White guys. Go figure.

Can we bring out the torture canard yet? Been itching to use it.
Seixon on March 22, 2008 at 6:02 PM
Heard recently in the Frankland prison:
“Infidel! I am not your cell camel!”
Lockstein13 on March 22, 2008 at 6:05 PM
I guess he wasnt ready for his 72 prison “virgins” to pay him a visit.
William Amos on March 22, 2008 at 6:09 PM
I think a muslim only prison is a great idea. Build it next to a pig farm and make them work it every day. Who knows? They might get to where they prefer the beatings.
Kowboy on March 22, 2008 at 6:25 PM
“Muslim-only prisons”? I thought that’s what Saudi Arabia was.
Lee on March 22, 2008 at 6:48 PM
Yeah, make ‘em big!
Tzetzes on March 22, 2008 at 6:51 PM
And the Muslims got their way. Thats what counts in Britain.
BL@KBIRD on March 22, 2008 at 7:25 PM
I laughed out loud at your headline for this post. Shave his arse and send him back to his cell…

The guy’s a racist.
rbj on March 22, 2008 at 7:59 PM
Of course in America they would genuinely enjoy their stay.
Learn a career AND make friends!:)
Maybe they would rather be held here?
KMC1 on March 22, 2008 at 8:07 PM
I could go along with that, then fill it up and throw away the key.
Hog Wild on March 22, 2008 at 8:07 PM
Next he’ll be complaining that his 300lb white “cell-mate” is Jewish. Life’s a B-tch when you’re a terrorist.
Claypigeon on March 22, 2008 at 8:18 PM
Looks like vicious English prisoners are giving Al Qaeda the beatings they need that British judges refuse to do. Yes, please, let’s send all the Al Qaeda to one big Muslim prison where they can organize a giant riot. Then the Brits can drop the Two Hundred Ton Weight on them.
Tantor on March 22, 2008 at 8:32 PM
Easy, esse, homie is just following the lead of Mexikanemi….., don’t hate the race!
When you have a plan, follow it.
Seven Percent Solution on March 22, 2008 at 9:14 PM
Alright,then if he’s whining about colour
then paint his cell pink!
canopfor on March 22, 2008 at 10:06 PM
WTF??!!! He’s allowed use a efing computer and get onto Islamist websites!!! What is wrong with these people? This isn’t prison, it’s a vacation for these nutjobs while they plan their next move. Unbelievable.
4shoes on March 22, 2008 at 10:06 PM
Didn’t the guy in the photo used to be on L.A. Law?
Tzetzes on March 22, 2008 at 10:15 PM
I work at the IMF. It would be a shame if I outlive him…

MarkABinVA on March 22, 2008 at 11:08 PM
So what’s the scoop on who actually instigated the violence in question? Its not like we’ve never seen radical muslims pick a fight and then cry “Intolerance” or “Racism” when they get a bloody nose as a result. Have the British authorities made sure this isn’t just a tactic they’ve turned to in order to get themselves relocated?
taznar on March 22, 2008 at 11:25 PM
Arrest more jihadis!
Then the ‘color’ balance will be more ‘favorable’ for these scum.
profitsbeard on March 22, 2008 at 11:31 PM
In his mugshot he looks quite effeminate, maybe he does not like the company of WHITE men.
TroubledMonkey on March 22, 2008 at 11:53 PM
US prisoners have full access to computers and the internet, unsupervised.
aengus on March 23, 2008 at 12:20 AM
Which is oh so surprising. Do they get complimentary gift baskets with their daily massages too? And how about the pool? Heated I hope. Oh and the caviar should be only lightly chilled. Anything less would be inhumane.
Grayson on March 23, 2008 at 12:35 AM
Boo Hoo.
Dave R. on March 23, 2008 at 2:16 AM
You brits need to protect me untill I can get out and kill you!
ronsfi on March 23, 2008 at 4:02 AM
Yeah, it’s high time the Brits went after the Real Terrorists – white guys.
Django on March 23, 2008 at 4:42 AM
They should have hanged him. Damn british liberals.

“So they moved him back to the prison where he was having success turning people to jihad.”
Exacctly.
davod on March 23, 2008 at 8:44 AM
The problem is that these guys are “too alive.”
drjohn on March 23, 2008 at 12:39 PM
In other news, The Crypts want their own prison.

P.S. So have the bloods and MS13. No one has heard from the Amish Liberation Army yet.
MirCat on March 23, 2008 at 1:05 PM
That’s a shame. Really.
Metro on March 23, 2008 at 1:10 PM
Lawsuit for the Home Office incoming in 3-2-1.
The European Convention on Human Rights has an entire section dedicated to the protection of would be mass-murderers.
It hasn’t been written yet as everyone is on Holiday but they’ll get it out by close of business Friday.
Ares on March 23, 2008 at 2:02 PM
…and if this idiot was moved to a prison with too few whites, he’d be screaming “segregation”!
He should be instructed to think of his incarceration as “equal opportunity for terrorists of all races.”
landlines on March 23, 2008 at 3:15 PM
Sounds like a great sitcom. Instead of “Well, We’re Movin’ On Up’, they can sing….”Well We’re Movin’ Inside”.
Kind of a Muslim George Jefferson character with a bunch of dimwitted Whites running the prison. Racist jokes against Whites are always funny.
Hening on March 23, 2008 at 4:40 PM
Hard to believe they of “the cult of death” don’t have their prisons in order to organize, plan and disturb prison functions. how dare the British government be so damn callus.
oldernslower on March 23, 2008 at 5:00 PM
This is why they need to ride the lightning.
Johan Klaus on March 23, 2008 at 6:30 PM
I don’t know whether I am more tired of complaining muslims or bend over and take it liberals. Both of them are going to end up getting us killed.
TimothyJ on March 23, 2008 at 9:40 PM
1896: America says “Separate but equal – it’s good for the black kids!”
2008: Britain says “Separate but equal – it’s good for the brown jihadists!”
I’m surprised nobody’s objected to the overtones of racism, except, well, the jihadists are the ones benefiting at this point, so I guess I shouldn’t be.
Math_Mage on March 24, 2008 at 2:02 AM
So Allah, why the picture of Jimmy Smitts?
srhoades on March 24, 2008 at 8:14 AM
I don’t understand why the British cave in to every muslim demand.
Blake on March 24, 2008 at 9:18 AM
Obama advisor or al qaeda member? What is the difference?
