These are religious laws. Further, no one said you should care. Their choice not to eat pork does not conflict with any other laws.

Additionally, since you don't know the point of their conversion, it is even more nonsensical to make such a comment.

I guess Jews keeping kosher doesn't fit the extremist Muslims are taking over America narrative.
There are also some Christians who do not eat pork. Some of these people need more exposure.

Ah, yes. They suddenly found religion in jail. How convenient for them. I'm sure they will now be upstanding members of society.

Such a Godly response. Apparently God can't change people in jail. In which Holy Book do you find that wonderful limitation?

Way I figure it, you eat what's there, or starve. Prison is not for the picky. But, this interpretation of what constitutes "cruel and unusual" has gotten out of hand. K don't see a Muslim having to eat pork as such. Live on Jello and canned corn , then.
I like Sherriff Arpaio green bologna and pink underwear....... This is insane, we are becoming insane for Islam.......

Some Christians have religious laws about birth control, they haven't broken any laws and yet have to provide it to other people. Strange, you want to stick up for the muslims that have gone to prison for a crime, and protect them from pork........go figure! Why don't the muslims sit on the far end of the meal room to avoid seeing any pork!

Like we should care.........

Less meat the taxpayer has to pay for.

A non-issue, except for the perpetually afraid.

I really don't see a problem with it. Apparently you do. Oh, and the Kim Davis thing was a completely different issue. And I think you're intelligent enough to see that difference.

People in prison don't get choices......or do you think they should?

Not really, the pork has been there since the beginning of prisons. Just as marriage between man and woman has been since ancient Rome.

I think they should have to pass a law to eliminate it out of their diet. What if white men decide they don't like radical Islam beginning taught in prisons, can they stop this?
