Ohio Muslim Inmates Sue Over Meal Preparation

Too bad, this man is a convicted murderer, he should feel lucky he is still alive and able to even eat, Unlike his victims.

Maybe a steady diet of Bacon will help the man get over his delusional religious views.

Foxnews
A death row inmate says the Ohio prison system is denying him meals prepared according to Islamic law -- known as halal -- while at the same time providing kosher meals to Jewish prisoners, according to a federal lawsuit that alleges a civil rights violation.
Condemned inmate Abdul Awkal says the prison system's failure to provide the halal meals is a restraint on his religious freedoms.
Awkal, joined by a second inmate not on death row, says the vegetarian and non-pork options offered by the Department of Rehabilitation and Correction aren't good enough. The inmates say the food must be prepared in specific fashion, such as ensuring that an animal is butchered by slitting its throat and draining its blood, to conform with Islamic beliefs.

"The issue of eating Halal meals is especially important to me because I face a death sentence," Awkal said in a filing in federal court earlier this year. "It is important to me that I follow the requirements of my faith as I approach death."

Potential honor killings in the News: Rifqa Bary

As always, Atlas Shrugged is all over the hearing and she has the latest here. A quick summary:

Good news. Rifqa's Christmas Cards ARE being delivered (Ed. Note: Yes, Pamela. I agree. It was really a dumb pr move to try and ban them on CAIR'S part. What happened to that 'there is no compulsion in Islam' garbage?)

More good news - Rifqa can't be forced to attend mediation sessions with her family. The judge is weighing whether individual counseling sessions would be more beneficial.

Not good news - Rifqa's mental health counselor is evaluating her for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder? (Ed. Note: With the way the Ohio courts have been treating her and her case - I can believe it.)

Follow the story as it develops at Atlas here.

Ohio mosque fire: An inside job.

Al Shabaab. Somalia. Minnesota. Columbus. Connect the dots, possums.

From Patrick Poole at Pajamas Media:

In the early morning of October 19, a fire ravaged through the property surrounding Masjid Salama, a growing Columbus, Ohio, mosque frequented primarily by members of the local Somali community. Several Somali-owned businesses surrounding the mosque were heavily damaged, but the mosque itself was not touched. However, because of the surrounding damage, the mosque itself has not been cleared for reopening.

As reported by the Columbus Dispatch, fire investigators immediately determined that arson was to blame for the blaze.

But rather than blaming the arson on unknown anti-Muslim individuals engaged in a religious hate crime, many inside the Columbus Somali community are fixing their suspicions on leaders of another local Somali mosque, Masjid Ibn Taymiya. This mosque is dominated by supporters of the al-Shabaab terrorist group, and members have made repeated attempts to take over the rapidly growing Salama congregation through an unsuccessful campaign of legal and physical intimidation.

If you click no other link tonight, this is the link you must click. I'm serious.

Bravo, Patrick Poole. (Between Patrick and Miss Janice - we have Ohio covered - and it needs to be. It's a hotbed of Islamist activity, possums. This makes me fear for Rifqa Bary. The Governor of Ohio has been bought by local Muslim groups. Meanwhile, Rifqa sits in juvey cut off from Facebook and her faith. What happened to FREEDOM OF RELIGION? Send her a Christmas card, please.)
