Muslim Population in European Prisons

Islam in Europe

Seventy percent of Spain's prison population is Muslim, combine this with Muslims collecting welfare in that country and it'll only be a matter of time before hard working Spanish taxpayers revolt.

Islam in Europe

Seventy percent of The Netherlands' prison population is Muslim, combine this with Muslims collecting welfare in that country and it'll only be a matter of time before hard working Dutch taxpayers revolt.

Your link says that 20% of the Netherlands' prison population is Muslim, not 70%.

I was referring to Spain, but typed in Netherlands in error because I had shortened it.

You don't cite any statistics for Spain, just a statement from one article with nothing to back it up, so I wouldn't be too quick to take it as fact.

It does sound as if Spain is experiencing an illegal immigration problem from Northern Africa similar to the U.S.'s problem with illegal Mexicans. It also sounds as if all of Europe is facing an increase in the number of Muslims being incarcerated. However, statistics regarding percentage of Muslims incarcerated for much of Europe isn't available, and in fact it's illegal to keep such data in many places, so again, I'd hesitate to take sources such as the one you cited for Spain as fact.

It also sounds as if a larger percentage of the Muslim prison population became Muslims only after they were incarcerated. They are being recruited in prison.

A response typical of a bleeding heart Liberal, I think only has Swedish has laws making the compiling of this type of data illegal. I am married to a Scandinavian and have been there too; Malmö is a mess thanks to its Muslim population.

What? demanding accurate factual posting?

A source was provide and the last county listed was Spain at 70%, it was sloppy posting on my part not an attempt to mislead. I had initially posted the entire piece, but then changed it because I was advised a few days ago not to quote an entire source. I simply wrote it quickly without checking it.
