Rep. Brandon Gill, a member of the House Oversight Committee, condemns the alleged cover-up of widespread UK grooming gang crimes, primarily involving Muslim immigrants targeting working-class British children. Gill states, 'These were not isolated incidents,' emphasizing the role of mass Islamic immigration in transforming communities and the need for truthfulness about cultural incompatibilities, especially concerning women's dignity.

Radical Muslim inmates are said to be forcing other prisoners — mostly white British men — to convert to Islam in some of the U.K.'s prisons, according to British media reports this week.

The problem of Muslim gangs in the nation's prisons has become progressively worse since Britain's Sky News first reported, in 2013, that "British inmates are being bullied into converting to Islam while in jail" while noting that "The Prison Officers Association says it is symptomatic of the growing power and influence of Muslim gangs in prison."

This week Nick Timothy, the shadow justice secretary of the opposition Conservative party, has urged the left-of-center Labour Government to root out forced conversions. Timothy posted on X on Tuesday that," Islamist gangs control many of our prisons. Conversion to Islam is the only way to stay safe from them. I obtained data showing 1 in 5 Muslim prisoners are white. That’s four times higher than in the general population. This cannot continue."

He told the U.K.'s Daily Telegraph that "We know that experts have warned repeatedly about forced conversions taking place behind bars, driven by Islamic gangs," Timothy said, adding "We need to be honest that something is not right here – Labour must urgently investigate and stamp out forced conversions in prison."

A press release from the U.K. Ministry of Justice stated that, "Most prisons show no evidence of gang-based extremism," while noting "We have also banned terrorist prisoners from holding positions of authority in corporate worship, e.g. leading the call to prayer, and clamped down on material found in prisons that could be used to spread harmful ideologies of justice."

According to Nile Gardiner, Director of the Margaret Thatcher Center for Freedom at the Heritage Foundation, this growing trend is having a detrimental effect on the country's prison system. "It is an absolutely outrageous state of affairs in the British prison system. This also poses a very significant national security risk for the United Kingdom. The British government appears to have lost control over its prisons, which have become jihadist training camps," Gardiner, who advised Lady Thatcher, told Fox News Digital.

He added that "urgent actions needs to be taken" in response to "the level of forced Islamization in British jails."

The number of incarcerated Muslims has its origins in a defective British immigration policy, said Gardiner. According to The Telegraph, "the number of Muslim prisoners in jails in England and Wales has also increased and accounts for nearly one in five (18%) of the prison population, despite making up 6.5% of the general population."

Gardiner told Fox News Digital that "It is very clear that large-scale Islamic migration into the United Kingdom is having a direct impact on crime and public safety in the United Kingdom. And the growing Islamization of Britain carries with it immense risks for British national security and crime. The inflow of Islamic migrants is a real threat to Britain’s future."

Jonathan Hall, the British government’s independent reviewer of terrorism legislation, wrote in his 2022 report titled "Terrorism in Prisons" that he secured evidence that Islamist terrorists are behaving and acting as "self-styled emirs."
