Ian Huntley, the killer of schoolgirls Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman, is considering converting to Islam, it has been claimed. Huntley, 34, serving life at the maximum security Frankland Prison in County Durham, has started reading the Koran on a daily basis after befriending two Muslim inmates, according to The People.

The Soham killer is thought to have turned to the small group of Muslim inmates in Frankland after being threatened by other prisoners.

He has even asked them to take him to a prayer meeting after finding the passages of the Islamic holy book the Koran are helping his state of mind following three failed suicide attempts.

Only 20 of the 734 inmates in Frankland prison are Muslim. Hussain Osman, jailed for life for his part in the failed July 21 bombings, is one of Huntley’s more high-profile inmates.

A prison source said the former school caretaker lives in constant fear and feels he has something in common with the small Muslim population at Frankland, who also feel they face persistent harrassment.

Huntley’s flirtation with Islam comes just a month after a leaked Home Office report raised concerns that young male prisoners are being brainwashed by Muslim gangs and that the prison system is becoming a recruiting ground for Islamic extremists.

A number of high-profile al-Qaeda sympathisers have been moved as a result of increased tensions within the prison.

Dhiren Barot, an Islamic extremist jailed for planning a dirty bomb attack on British soil, was granted a move from the prison after being attacked with boiling oil, leaving him scarred for life.

Other high-profile inmates at Frankland include Colin Norris, the gay nurse convicted of murdering four elderly patients.

Huntley was transferred from Wakefield to the notorious Frankland prison in January. Last month it was revealed that he had been receiving special treatment to stop him attempting suicide.

Officers guarding Huntley were told to play games such as Scrabble and chess with him to “keep his spirits up.”

It was also claimed that guards were told to address him as Mr Huntley, or even simply 'Ian'.

Huntley was jailed for life in December 2003 for killing the two 10-year-old girls in Soham, Cambridgeshire.

His girlfriend, Maxine Carr, 31, served two years for providing him with a false alibi and now lives under a secret identity.

A child killer converting to Islam? Why am I not surprised?

[dennisw]

I’m amazed this psycho killer would joint a cult started by a psycho killer

[Jeff Head]

He should fear for his life...and in any sane world, and in any sane system, that fear would have already been realized for what he did.

[WorkingClassFilth]

Of course he’d like to convert. In that way, he’d get to kill all the young girls he wanted since anybody he could cleearly identify as a young girl (i.e., not in a shapeless burlap sack) in Islamofascist countries would be considered shameless, evil harlots and, thus, legal prey.

[max americana]

Dont’ care, as long as he’s rotting inside a jail cell.

[SECURE AMERICA]

How appropriate. The Muslims are quite fond of killing young girls, so he should be welcomed with open arms.

[tet68]

I fully support his right to suicide.
Go for door #4 Ian.

Q: Why would a child killer convert to Islam?
A: Professional courtesy.

[Gorzaloon]

The Soham killer is thought to have turned to the small group of Muslim inmates in Frankland after being threatened by other prisoners.

One would think that even a child killer would have some shame left.

Some people will stoop to anything to save their bums.

[Alouette]

Last month it was revealed that he had been receiving special treatment to stop him attempting suicide.

Discontinue the special treatment.

...like the Sirens called to Jason...the song is oh so sweet...

Until you get there.

Talk about "bass ackwards", you're supposed to be a Muslim BEFORE you go running around killing infidels!!

[VOA]

Ian Huntley, the killer of schoolgirls Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman,
is considering converting to Islam, it has been claimed.

A murderer of schoolgirls converting to a "religion" based largely
on a creed of dominating a stable of four women per man.

Who could have forseen this sort of unexpected development?

(/SARC)

[threeoeight]

He should convert to DEAD.

[Walkingfeather]

typecasting....

[VOA]

Talk about "bass ackwards", you're supposed to be a Muslim BEFORE
you go running around killing infidels!!

I don't think so.
I've yet to hear of "Islam" rejecting a potential convert
based on their previous crimes.
No matter how awful.

Islam is MUCH more attractive than Christianity as concerns
"jail-house conversions".

Having done awful things makes you a great recruit for Islam.
Having done awful things and then repenting of them is required
for Christianity. And accepting that the civil authorities will
likely still require you to fully serve your term. And, in some
cases, take your earthly existence from you.

And I'm NOT saying that all of the jail-birds accepting Christianity
are sincere.

[AbeKrieger]

The only thing more repugnant than a jailhouse muslim is one that isn’t in jail yet.

[Gator113]

Will his new bug-brothers give him retroactive credit for his killings?

“Holy book” my rear.

[Morgana]

I agree with you! I don’t even know who this man is but the fact he killed two kids, then converts to the “Religion of Peace”?

No surprise there!

[Morgana]

“Talk about “bass ackwards”, you’re supposed to be a Muslim BEFORE you go running around killing infidels!! “

Now, Now Dear! Remember this is Islam....You were expecting maybe rocket scientist?

[bpjam]

and you thought he was a killer BEFORE he became a muzzie????

Watch your train stations.

Ian Huntley 'to convert to Islam

Well, he's already got the skill set. Go with your strengths.

A: Professional courtesy.

Good one ... but not quite .....

Q: Why would a child killer convert to Islam?
A: Graduate studies.

[river rat]

No surprise here...

Muslims excel at raping or killing children, and surprise ambush killing of the innocent......

They aren’t man enough for any other activity.....

Most Muslim “wannabe Jihadists” realize that in a face to face confrontation with an armed “infidel” warrior - the Muslim loses.

[river rat]

Here is the dickless wonder - who uses and kills CHILDREN...

He even looks like a perfect candidate to become a goat humping Islamist.....

[SampleMan]

Ian Huntley, the killer of schoolgirls Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman, is considering converting to Islam,...

Sounds like a natural fit.

[superkaramba]

If the cap fits, wear it.

It certainly does in huntleys case.

He couldn’t be a more apt model for their twisted ideology could he?
