#1 "This is clearly a waste of money."

Yep. Taxpayers' money. Funking scandal alright.

Nice to see The Mirror's not devoting itself to slandering British forces any more. Getting rid of Piers "Human Filth" Morgan was the best thing it's done in decades.

#3 'In August Governor Geoff Hughes sent a letter to inmates apologising for putting pork, forbidden for Muslims and Jews on the menu. He ordered the meat to be removed from the menus of ALL prisoners'

Eek did that mean no bacon sarnies for anyone . sheesh am sure a few 'cat a' prisoners would be unhappy about that , I know i would be furious . And with the proposed mosque within throwing distance of cat a building theres a ray of hope that it will get trashed /burnt to ground

and as prophet Mohammed said 'The whole world is a mosque meaning that Muslims can pray anywhere that is clean. ' Its pretty clean in a 12x6 cell .

The taxpayers money could be used to fund something worthwhile , like a decent governor for the rison and not some lame arsed appeaser like Geoff Hughes .

#4 Â£1.6million would buy a nice pile of body armor and, y'know, Kevlar helmets... I always feel so bad that your lot's wearing those soft cloth Frenchie-looking beanies...

As for Hookie, you should've let us extradite him so he can be put down like a rabid dog, since, um, well, he is a rabid dog.

#7 How much would it cost to have him found hanging in his cell? Prison life can be especially depressing for a "holy man".

#10 whadda disgrace. every religion should protest now till they get equal money: jews, hindus, catholics, c/e, lutherans, buddhists.... atheists should protest to get a library...

Islamists have had a jail policy to convert prisoners for decades: they make the best expendible jihadis after all.

Mosques should be banned in jails period, not paid for.

#11 No, no, no! Atheists need a small wild wood, with a field of wildflowers, a meandering brook leading to a pond full of frogs and small fish, with kingfishers diving from the overhanging branches, and deep, velvety darkness at night in which the stars can be seen burning overhead. In order to appreciate Nature in all its natural, evolved glory, y'see. It would be good if this area were not walled off from the outside world as well, lest Nature be entrapped by the short-term needs of Man. The library is for all to share, as it always has been. The Jews, on the other hand, just need a room within which East can be faced. (As a people, we're a cheap date. As wives, of course, we are at least as expensive as any other -- but that's a veeeery different discussion ;-).

#15 You guys are missing it:

"..Nobody else is having a new building built for them, we donât have a synagogue, for example." quoth the source.

I imagine that there aren't many Jews in prison eh? Funny how a big portion of the population is Muslim, isn't it? And by the way, I say we combine the money to build a mosque, let them pray there, and then release the rapid spreading diseases that are supposedly spreading in the prison population within the mosque. Sounds like a good use of 1.6 million to me, eh?
