Islamic conversion rates are on the rise in American prisons and the West should be concerned.
A quiet yet seismic shift is occurring in America’s prison cells. Fewer inmates are reading the Bible behind bars, while more are reading the Quran.
That’s right.
Islam is quickly becoming the dominant faith in America’s prison system. According to a recent CBS report, tens of thousands of inmates convert to Islam each year. In some prisons, Muslim prisoners make up as much as 20 percent of the population. The conversion rate is astonishing. It goes beyond a mere religious choice.
It represents a complete transformation of identity, loyalty, and ideology.
