WND: ‘Jailhouse Islam’ converts gun down U.S. cops.
A comprehensive assessment based on a survey of nearly 3,000 state and local correctional facilities identified the following trends: Most cases of prison radicalization and recruitment appear to be originated by domestic extremists with few or no foreign connections. Some radicalized Islamic inmates are current or former members of street or prison gangs, indicating an emerging “crossover” trend from gang member to Islamist extremist. Radicalization activity levels appear to be higher in high population areas on the West Coast and in the northeastern United States.
