Should we free Muslims from our prisons?

[CedarBranch]

If you think about it, aren't we mimic for Islamic State? Rephrased, aren't they mimic against us? Well, don't you think that by arresting Muslims for their real practices and beliefs and such, they'll have their own rights under their own law? Who's really getting in the way in the first place?

If you are in agreement with me, things such as RELIGION, ethnicity, or race are nothing to use against one another. To place so much against the Muslims was wrong in too many ways. We missed that. And ISIS is trying to prove their point in their own ways: the ways Muslims themselves have always shown.

Personally I don't think Muslims in general should be released from jails or prisons because, unless they were jailed simply for being Muslim (which shows that we have waaaay bigger problems at hand), they have reasons for being there. That having been said, jails and prisons in America are SHAMEFUL and are more about punishment than reform. As a whole American society shouldn't be bloodthirsty enough to see punishment as a good thing.

I do see what you're getting at, though- racial bias does infiltrate America and the hysteria over ISIS is very goddamn ridiculous. Muslims are, among people of other races, creeds, and orientations are locked up for longer, if not just outright shot, for very petty crimes or just because they arent white. Why? Fear, very irrational fear that PoC, Muslims especially, are dangerous when in reality the "bad guys" have about the same percentages as any other group. Sadly, convincing most people there is racial bias is a herculean task.
