ISLAMIC AL-QAEDA INSTRUCTING PRISON INMATES

If you still cannot envisage the extent and danger of the political Islamic jihad as portrayed in the article below this one, think about this "invisible" incursion into our society. Entering through an already anti-social and anti-authority population - though not all are vulnerable to participating or converting to Islam. But has a built in, fragmented though it may be, organization through the "gang" or mosque afiliations. Now that we are aware of this, what are we doing about it? Are we continuing to be "dhimmis"? (Read IGNORANCE & DENIAL OF ISLAM click here if you are not sure what this means). If it's happening in Australia do we really think that we, in the USA, the main "enemy" of Islamic jihad are immune? That this is not happening here, too? When our CIA gets it right and sounds a warning, do we do something about it? Do we form our own Security Threat Group Intervention Program? Or do the perfect Dhimmis - our ACLU and liberal Democrat bleeding hearts impede our efforts instead? Inmates studying al-Qaeda manual Heath Gilmore December 2, 2007 ISLAMIC extremists are using an al-Qaeda training manual to give theminstructions for taking over the state’s toughest jails, prisonauthorities have alleged. Up to 40 inmates had established an internal organisational structureto maintain morale, resist interrogation and recruit members to Islam. The prisoners had set up leadership groups in several maximum-securityjails, with their activities governed by the code outlined in theal-Qaeda manual for incarcerated followers. A number of Corrective Services staff have been targeted, some withviolent threats by inmate groups. Other staff have been singled outfor conversion to Islam. NSW Attorney-General John Hatzistergos said an undisclosed number ofinmates had been transferred to other jails in an attempt to disruptthe leadership groups. Mr Hatzistergos said he was extremely concerned about the broader attempts to infiltrate the jail system, which were uncovered after sweeping changes to prison regulations allowed 24-hour monitoring of Muslim inmates. The latest crackdown followed the disclosure this year that a third ofthe state’s most dangerous criminals held in the highest-security jail in Australia, the Super Max facility inside Goulburn jail, were Muslim fundamentalists or converts to Islam. “The insidious nature of these activities remind us we have to beconstantly vigilant to these types of threats for the security of ourcorrectional system,” Mr Hatzistergos said. NSW Corrective Services Commissioner Ron Woodham said internationalprison authorities had alerted Australian authorities to the existenceof the manual three months ago. Corrective Services staff had since uncovered patterns of behaviouramong inmates consistent with instructions in the manual, including hunger strikes, group protests and claims of mistreatment, he said. “There were hunger strikes and organised complaints about their treatment,” he said. “We have detected the leadership in groups across our maximum security jails [and] have moved in to segregate them and split them up. “There is nothing wrong with conversion to Islam for the right reasons, but we believe there has been conversion taking place for the wrong reasons.” The Security Threat Group Intervention Program, established in 2003 to stop ethnic and other criminal gangs exerting control within NSW jails, is now being used to identify and relocate the ringleaders who are applying the code outlined in the al-Qaeda manual, to counter the growing threat of terrorism.Terrorist hierarchy - The al-Qaeda training manual was first obtained by the CIA in 1996. - It suggests a 10-position leadership structure for members held inprison. - The structure includes: “barracks chief and deputies”, “greeters to meet and instruct new arrivals”, “welfare attendants" to organise equitable distribution of goods from families and aid organisations” and “clergy”, presumably to attend to spiritual needs as well as to recruit new adherents to their faith, according to the CIA report.
