It gets worse. Prisons are a hotbed of jihad recruitment.
In 5 States, 1 in 5 Prisoners are Muslim
American taxpayers are spending billions a year on Muslim prisoners.
By Daniel Greenfield. August 5, 2019:State prisons.
Story continues below advertisementTake Maryland, which has an estimated 70,000 Muslims, making up over 1% of the population. But of Maryland’s 18,562 prisoners, 5,084 were Muslims.
That’s 27.4% or over 1 in 4 prisoners.
It would also mean that 1 out of 13 Muslims in Maryland may have been in a state prison.
Those are startling numbers, yet they come from Muslim Advocates, an Islamist legal advocacy group. Both MA’s numbers and the number of Muslims in different states may be miscounted, yet these figures raise serious questions about public safety and the toll that immigration is taking on our communities.
While Maryland’s numbers are some of the worst, MA lists similar figures for Washington D.C. where out of 5,219 prisoners, 1,232 were Muslims, so that once again 1 in 4 prisoners were Muslim.
D.C. does have one of the largest Muslim populations in the country, numbering between 2 and 3 percent. Even taking the highest estimate, 6.5% of the Muslim population in D.C. was in jail in 2017.
Muslims make up 1% of the population in Pennsylvania, but 1 in 5 of its prisoners.
Of the 48,438 prisoners in Pennsylvania, 10,264 were Muslim. That’s 8% of an estimated statewide Muslim population of 128,000, meaning that 1 in 12 Muslims in Pennsylvania were in prison in 2017.
In 5 states, New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Michigan, Muslims make up 1 out of 4 or 1 out of 5 prisoners.
In another 4 states, Wisconsin, Missouri, Delaware, and Arkansas, they make up 1 in 10 prisoners.
That’s a total of 9 states in which Muslims make up between a quarter and a tenth of state prisoners.
The MA numbers are incomplete because the Islamist group only includes information from 35 states, but they do point to the scale of the problem of what Muslim Advocates call, “overrepresentation”.
Overrepresentation may be partially a product of the success of Islamic Dawah or missionary activity in prisons. Islamic prison Dawah has produced many converts and at least some terror plots. And it may serve to explain high Muslim prison numbers in some states, but not necessarily in others.
Delaware is a fairly small state with a population of under a million and a Muslim population of 10,000. Nevertheless, of its 5,235 prisoners, 516 were Muslims. That’s not only around 1 in 10 of the prison body, but also around 5% or 1 in 20 Muslims of the statewide Muslim population of the First State.
The Muslim settler population is usually at around 1% in the country and its varying states. But in only two states, South Dakota and Idaho, was the Muslim prison population at 1% or below.
The overall population, as MA noted in its partial numbers, was 84,882 or 8.9% of prisoners.
Combine all those Muslim prisoners into a city and you have a population larger than Youngstown.
The MA report also claims that 12% of federal prisoners are Muslims. (CAIR in the past had claimed that it was only 6%.) The current federal BOP population is 177,619. That would mean over 21,000 prisoners.
And over 105,000 Muslims are prisoners in state and federal prisons.
Using Pew’s growth estimate, which projects that the Muslim settler population will reach 8.1 million by 2050 (a severe underestimation of actual growth), that would mean a quarter million Muslim prisoners.
This is not just an abstract statistic. It’s a compilation of human misery, lives lost, futures taken, a litany of abuse, loss, assault, and the accompanying taxpayer expenditures on trials, prisons and free lawyers.
The current cost of incarcerating Muslim federal prisoners is taking $670 million a year from taxpayers.
By 2050, the cost could climb to over $1.5 billion.
In some states, inmate incarceration costs are much higher than they are in the federal system. In New York, inmate incarceration costs run to $69,355 per inmate. There were 7,838 Muslim prisoners in New York in 2018 at a cost that approaches $550 million. By 2050, New York would also be spending billions.
Maryland is already spending over $225 million on its Muslim prisoners. Michigan is spending an estimated $265 million. New Jersey is blowing through around $250 million on Muslim inmate costs.
Texas spends $191 million on its Muslim inmates. Wisconsin is on the hook for $113 million a year. North Carolina taxpayers face a $160 million Muslim inmate bill. Missouri taxpayers shell out some $70 million. In Illinois, it’s up to $180 million. Florida is blowing through $93 million. Georgia spends almost $30 million. And Connecticut is forced to spend over $100 million and Ohio spends $90 million.
Even tiny Delaware is stuck spending $20 million on its Muslim inmate population.
Pennsylvania taxpayers have the worst of it and are spending $438 million on Muslim prisoners.
These numbers however are based on average inmate costs. Muslim inmate costs may be higher due to their special needs and special circumstances.
Nidal Hassan, the Fort Hood Jihadist who murdered 13 Americans, ran up $548,000 in costs.
But even these extremely incomplete numbers suggest that the federal cost plus the cost in 15 states approaches $3.5 billion. Assuming average state costs across the total population would mean a $2.8 billion cost to the states. (Although this is an extremely inaccurate means of calculating these figures.)
But it does mean that by 2050, the nationwide bill for Muslim incarceration would approach $10 billion.
Estimating the projected increase of Muslim prisoner populations can be tricky, but the rise in Muslim crime documented by the MA report still appears to be disturbing.
In Colorado, the Muslim share of prisoners doubled between 2010 and 2018.
In Utah, the number of Muslim prisoners doubled, and in Georgia, they tripled between 2011 and 2018.
In Michigan, the number of Muslim inmates rose by almost 1,000 even as the general prison population fell by 4,000.
In Missouri, the number of Muslim prisoners increased by over 800, even as the general population only rose by 600.
D.C., Indiana, and Minnesota, saw share increases of between a quarter and a third. In Kansas, the Muslim prisoner share rose by a fifth.
Texas added over 1,500 Muslim inmates even as its overall number of prisoners fell by 10,000.
These are worrying numbers in an era where crime numbers and arrests have been declining. And they forecast the future of states which have consented to refugee resettlement without calculating the harm and expense that migration will inflict on their people, their children and their future.
In British prisons, the proportion of Muslim prisoners rose from 8% in 2002 to 16% in 2018.
As a report to the British parliament noted, aside from Muslims, “no other religion had a higher proportion of representation in prisons than among the general population.”
We have begun seeing similar numbers in the United States.
As the debate over immigration continues, we must ask ourselves difficult questions about the price we are willing to pay to welcome in one particular group without caring about the cost to ourselves.
How many thousands of lives, how many billions of dollars, are we willing to pay?
And is diversity worth the price?

Moslems are sadistic animals no matter what country they are in.
Most of them are in for drug trafficking.
The islamic present of Northwestern Eurapia will be the future for N. America and all the Commonwealth countries.
Remembering all of those prisoners Obama released just before he left office…
If they are “immigrants” and NOT citizens, wouldn’t they be deported after sentence served ?
That does happen, but I think it is rare for it to happen.
IN 5 STATES, 1 IN 5 PRISONERS ARE MUSLIM
Islamophobia, pure and simple!
As a percentage of their populations, is that more, less, or about the same as the percentage of Negroes in prisons?
Of course, there is substantial overlap between Moslems and Negroes in the USA.
No mosque should be allowed in any prison in the west because of what is preached there and because of the political aspect to Islam and the actions of the “inspired” faithful, separate prison regimes will need to be introduced involving isolation and sentences with hard labour included.
Introducing bans on Islamic clothing in all its forms everywhere in society along with closing all sharia banks and other manifestations of Islamic backward thinking will also be required if the correction is to be in scale with the challenge.
Muslims set themselves up as being separate and special, so treat them as separate and special, it’s what they want.
There should be no Mosques inside our borders. They are islamic terrorist HQs.
When men find out from Muslim indoctrination that they can be more powerful and in more control over anyone else who is NON-MUSLIM, including all women, they fall right in line for it. THAT IS WHAT ISLAM TEACHES. It is a demonic ideology.
But but they are only 1.1% of the US population…WTF????
Given their breeding style it is only a matter of time when they outnumber all Humans just like ants and cockroaches.
Probably there are over 100 million illegal aliens in America, many millions of whom are Muslim. The prison population reflects the real demographics, while the MSM stats try to minimize the influx.
“HISTORIAN: TERRORISTS EXPLOITING U.S. BORDER NOT ‘HYPOTHETICAL’ At least 15 Islamists ‘already apprehended crossing'” By WND Staff, Aug 4, 2019
https://www.wnd.com/2019/08/historian-terrorists-exploiting-u-s-border-not-hypothetical/?cat_orig=us
That number represents the tiny few they’ve caught at the scarse secured areas where there are border patrol agents and some type of fencing. Muslim prayer rugs litter the desert beyond and inside our border.
anyone surprised?
Japanese macaques are the only monkeys that make and play w/snowballs, because they have to have something to take their minds off freezing to death in Japan’s brutal winters.
Our prisons are teaming with islamic terrorists. Thanks to Trump’s new Prison Reform, First Step, they will now be harder to arrest, get less prison time, receive House Arrest instead of jail time and get out of jail early.
Trump has become the Great Deceiver…the Beast devouring our Constitutional Republic.
Trump is betraying America by NOT deporting all muslims, citizens or not!
muslim rabid pigs
What is the cost of Muslim crime in the United States? If we extrapolate from thee figures that 1:5 prison inmates are Muslims then they may be responsible for about 20% the $3.4 TRILLION in estimated annual total costs of crime in the United States,or $680 Billion for just 1% of the population! Folks.that’s around $220,000 for each Muslim in the USA!!! See https://blog.gao.gov/2017/11/29/how-much-does-crime-cost/ “Diversity may be our strength,” but it sure is costly.
Most of those muzzies in prison are ‘converted’ in prison. This is the enlistment of violent members of the worlds most violent gang, nothing more. Just as MS13 members should be shot on sight, so must we consider the same for the members of the muzzie gang.
Isn’t there enough proof that the easiest way to lower the crimes or mistreatment against humans would be to totally ban or out law the cult of islam completely?
Allow members to go to an islamic country and live happily ever after in a place where all their warped beliefs can be openly practised.
Would make civilized countries safer and contain the crazies in a manageable area where they are free to live/die as their Pedo Masters allow.
And a good percentage of those not in prison probably should be.
Better in than out
Prisons are the Islamist Marxist Predators recruiting stations.
If they aren’t citizens then deport them after their sentence is served!
Sad…but not shocking.
