Muslim inmates get new clothes if dog sniffs cell
2008-10-09
Muslim prisoners are being given fresh clothes and bedding after sniffer dogs search their cells -- because they view the animals as unclean. The inmates say their bedclothes and prison uniforms must be changed according to Islamic law if they have come anywhere near dog saliva.
I take it the concept of 'prison' is different there ...
Government rules mean warders are having to hand out replacement sets after random drug searches to avoid religious discrimination claims. The dogs have also been banned from touching copies of the Islamic holy book the Koran and other religious items.

Prisoners are handed special bags to protect the articles.

Now some staff and other prisoners are incensed by what they claim is special treatment. A source at Dover prison said: "It seems ridiculous that staff have to go out of their way to treat these prisoners differently. Some of the other inmates are not happy that they have to make do with the same old bedding."

#8  Just give the clothes to the next one that complains. Musical chairs with 'tainted' clothes.

Oh, and if drugs are found on the guy they should do without clothes. Screw them for using their religion that way.

#7  More dhimmi attitudes. Go in and beat the shit out of these assholes. Break every bone in their face until they can only moan, not talk. Then let the hounds come in and piss on them as they try to crawl on the floor. Idiocy.

#5  Wouldn't doing drugs be forbidden in the Koran also?
They seem to pick and choose what they want out of that rag.

#4  Take the old clothes out and wash them. In dog spit. Then give them back.
Even if you don't, tell them you do.

#3  Chop their hands off and then no more worries about them doing drugs. It's the culturally sensitive thing to do.
