Lawsuit: Va. jail's 'God Pod' violates Constitution
CorrectionsOne.com ^ | 11/22/2018 | Denise Lavoie

A Muslim civil rights group filed a federal lawsuit Wednesday against a regional jail in Virginia, alleging that the jail has set up a Christians-only unit dubbed the "God Pod."

The Council on American-Islamic Relations says officials at the Riverside Regional Jail have set aside a housing pod exclusively for Christian inmates who promise to live in accordance with the Bible. The group says the Christian pod violates the Constitution by favoring one religion over others.

The lawsuit accuses jail officials of discriminating against Muslim inmates and others by preventing them from participating in programs that teach their faith and excluding them from the housing unit, nicknamed the "God Pod" by inmates.

Well, I suppose there has to be an opening for any philosophy that promises comparable results — but that is not going to be classic mad-Mo Islam at best.

In the meantime the God Pod can pray for the others.

Muslims aren’t a religion. Kick rocks.

I guess they could petition for a Bagdad-style jail cell for all the moslems. (I just pity the poor goat)

CAIR is the public relations and lawfare arm of the Muslim Brotherhood. They need to be declared a seditious organization and shut down.

All free countries should deport all muslims and burn all mosques. Islam is at war with every other culture on the planet. Every other culture should respond symmetrically.

If Islam was an actual religion instead of a ‘war plan cult’; they might have a point.

The problem is our Constitution and Bill of Rights still views Islam as being a religion when it is anything but. Until and unless this corrected; America will have much bigger problems with this cult in the future.

Set-up a “Hell Smell” pod for the murderous, subhuman muzzie (SPIT!) filth. That’ll please them, no end.

The Muslims should be glad we don’t do to them what they do to Christians in the Mideast...off with their heads.

Well, if they all have to share the same digs so as not to favor or disregard another, all should be eating the SAME diet.

Why should the taxpayers be forced to pay for ‘special menus’ for inmates?

Go by the old ‘Sheriff Joe’ words of advice...If you don’t like the menu or wearing pink jumpsuits, make sure you don’t come back here again.

SIMPLE SOLUTION.

So, when did the board of that regional jail become the Congress of the United States of America?

Simplest solution is to send all muzzie prisoners to Gitmo so they can all be one happy clique...
