Five "extremist Islamist books" promoting anti-semitism, homophobia, and hatred towards non-Muslims were distributed by imams at prisons in England and Wales for months, even after jail authorities were alerted.
Among the titles is a book urging Muslims to fight and subjugate unbelievers. Another blames Jews for "materialism, animal sexuality, the destruction of the family, and the dissolution of society," according to
The Times.One of the books focuses on "the sexual deviation known as homosexuality," saying: "The spread of this depraved practice in a society disrupts its natural life pattern and makes those who practice it slaves to their lusts, depriving them of decent taste, decent morals and a decent manner of living."
Another of the books is widely accepted as the foundational text for the modern jihadist movement.
Copies of some of the publications were found in chaplaincy rooms at nine of 11 prisons inspected during a review, led by former Home Office official and prison governor Ian Acheson, of radicalization behind bars, according to the newspaper.
Comment: Terror attacks, real or facsimiles, make the rounds these days to stir the pot; keep Europe on the edge and politicians in line.
