Ministry of Justice data has revealed that there were 15,594 Muslim prisoners in England and Wales in September last year, accounting for 18 per cent of all inmates despite comprising only 6.5 per cent of the population. Of these, 3,096 – 19.9 per cent – were white.
Doesn't sound like a very peaceful religion to be involved with.
We had Muslim neighbours once. She was lovely but suffered with terrible anxiety and she told me a few things which I found disconcerting.
Her house has to be spotless at all times and has to be immaculate for when her husband came home from work.
He had never had the children, two boys, on his own.
The children were not allowed out in the garden unless either she was with them
Or both of them were with them.
They rarely used their garden but if the did the boys would either play football or play killing games where they would be fighting an imaginary 'baddie' and would shout 'Kill, Kill, Kill!' Or 'Die, Die Die!'
The boys were never allowed outside to play.
Shockingly, they had never been to park, never been to woods, forests, country parks, the beach, museums or any other place in the U.K.
They had no pets and she confessed her husband didn't like dogs and would have been livid if the children had petted our dogs!
They stayed indoors but at least once a month would go to Disney in France and had many foreign holidays.
They were extremely wealthy but not remotely ostentatious. Their home was plain and devoid of any personalisation.
The children had no hobbies and but had private tutors.
I asked her if they were a typical Muslim family and she said yes. I don't know if that's true but I found her and her children's lives to be utterly devoid of any joy!
Oh wait, despite their wealth they often went to McDonalds several times during the week!
I think it's a bizarre religion and would absolutely not want to get involved with it.
