[CreepingSharia] Davidson County Sheriff Daron Hall says he wants jail guards to better understand the practices and beliefs of Muslim inmates. So he has accepted a request from local Muslim leaders to teach "Islam 101" classes for jail staff, and he plans to hire a part-time advocate as a go-between with inmates.Does Hall want his staff to understand stonings, amputations, beheadings and other "practices and beliefs" of Muslims? Or the whitewashed version of sharia that Islamic supremacists will sell him for a nice price?
Hall’s moves follow a recent sit-down meeting with highly influential Islamic leaders. And they come at a time when the Muslim community is growing, along with their presence inside county jails.
"Let me be very blunt about it: We need a much better understanding in law enforcement, in this country, in this city, anywhere, to understand the various cultural issues," Hall said in opening the July 12 meeting. "We need help understanding what the sensitivities about various religious and other aspects are so we’re not stomping all over what is a very precious feeling."
