    Muslim Gangs in UK Prisons Force Non-Muslims to Convert

    Muslim inmates in UK prisons are reportedly forcing other prisoners, mainly white British men, to convert to Islam. Shadow Justice Secretary Nick Timothy has urged the government to investigate and stop these forced conversions. Experts warn that prisons have become 'jihadist training camps' and pose a significant national security risk. The number of Muslim prisoners has increased, with one in five being white, four times the general population rate. Islamist gangs control many prisons, and conversion is seen as the only way to stay safe. The government claims to clamp down on such activities, but concerns persist.
