I read the story,couldn’t find the judge’s name.Why is that?Was he appointed by Clinton or Obama?

[stylin19a]

about the original suit.

In a federal court suit, Abdul Awkal contends Jewish inmates get kosher food, but his non-halal meals impinge his religious freedoms.

[DWaves]

The judge is wrong. Forcing everyone to eat a diet that is based on a religion (or in my opinion a cult) ie... halal is establilising a religion. I’m tired of muslims always whining and getting their way. I thank God I live in Idaho.

[muawiyah]

Oh, yes, but halal IS an establishment of religion ~ where it’s enforced the traditional Celtic god, the boar, is prohibited.

[Celtic Cross]

Execute him now.

Problem, solved.

No BLT’s, no Pork Chops, no Bacon, no Hot Dogs, no Ham no sausage, no Bar-B-Que Ribs, no Pork N’ Beans, no Bean Soup, no Baked Beans, someone ought to take a real close look at the ethnicity of this judge. I'd say just fed em’ Mad Cow meat, carp, bull heads, rabbits and goats. Besides all of that, if they are so adamantly religious, what in hell are they in prison for in the first place?

[Chiltepe]

So this devout Muslim is concerned about faithfully maintaining every peccadillo of his religion in prison, but he had no problem doing every thuggish thing imaginable to land in prison in the first place? Such people should not be catered to. At best it’s his way of saying “F you!” to “da man” and trying to waste society’s time and money more than he already has. But one has to wonder who is the bigger threat to society in the end: The stupid thug who screams for attention; or the judge who, with a wink and a nod, demands that the thug be listened to.

Parole and deport to SA immediately!

Southern Christians must have pork - lots and lots and lots of pork with lots and lots of bbq sauce. Consumption of pork has been built into our genetic makeup for millenia . To deprive a Southerner of pork, no matter where he was born, is cruel and unusual punishment bordering on torture.

The muslim in question had a choice whether to be in prison or not. Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time or don’t like the menu. Should’a taken him down to visit Joe, and let him eat peanutbutter and wear pink panties. I’m pretty sure pink is halal.

First the prisons, then all the restaurants, including sports-parks - watch and see.

Judge in the case:

Judge James S. Guin ruled the prison’s no-pork diet does not violate the Constitution

Mr. Abdul Awkal just painted a target on his back....

Imagine being in prison for a 20 year stretch and no pork products,...

No bacon, ribs, sausage, pork chops or even prison loaf ...

The guy is a good as dead....

Muslims need to be expelled from America now.

They DESCRIBE THEMSELVES as SWORN ENEMIES OF AMERICA.

It’s time to round them up and deport them all to halal countries.

It would cost very little and be done in 6 months.

Problem solved.

Separate quarters for shar’ia compliant prisoners. Make sure they have relatively easy access to various utensils (spoons, screwdrivers, table knives, etc.) that can be sharpened and used as a shiv. Loose housing, no cell confinements, deposit whatever food they are to have for the day at a secure drop point, let them prepare and/or divide it up as they agree among themselves. Make sure there are absolutely no weak points (along waste disposal pipes or incoming plumbing, for example) where they could wriggle out. Prison guards are in no instance to ever enter the confinement area, even to retrieve a corpse. The tops of all wall will be secured with the most reliable technology known to prevent any escape attempts over the walls, and the ground beneath will be scanned with “downward-looking” radar to detect any attempts to burrow out. Prisoners are held accountable for any repairs to damaged facilities, and undertake the work themselves unsupervised.

And no pardons or commutation of sentences, ever. Rather like trapping alligators. Alligators are NEVER rehabilitated.

Separation of Church and State except for Islam.

The libs love that one religion!

[wesagain]

"forcing non-Muslims to adhere to a Muslim diet is not the establishment of a religion because everyone eats the same food."

What a moron....proves anybody can be a judge.

[wildbill]

Just a thought. Does this include approval of conjugal visits with dead wives (within a six hour window of course. Anything else would be non-halal)

I swear you can’t make these things up. No one would believe them.
