Nothing is done with jihadis in prison to try to change their jihadi mindset. To attempt any such thing would have been “Islamophobic.” Instead, the jihadi’s beliefs are reinforced by prison officials who treat the Qur’an with the utmost respect and allow him to pray with other Muslim inmates. Jihadis in prisons even recruit more jihadis, as Ahmed Khan Rahimi is now doing. Why is this tolerated, and tolerated so frequently? Would Nazi prisoners have been given copies of Mein Kampf and been allowed to hold mini-Nuremberg rallies in prison during World War II? Of course they wouldn’t. The difference here is that prison officials assume that the jihadis’ religion had nothing to do with the acts of violence they committed, and so there is no harm done in enabling them to practice their religion and grow more committed to it. This is a false and baseless assumption, and a dangerous one.
