Get your point across in Cfiarlotte (704)376-0496 Prisons ban certain religious books, inmates file lawsuit Continued from page SB clear why it took so tong for the order to take effect, but prison officials needed time to pore over a long list of books and determine what’s acceptable. Feldman said the study was made out of a concern that prisons “had been rad icalized by inmates who were practicing or espous ing various extreme forms of religion, specifically Islam, which exposed secu rity’risks to the prisons and beyond the prisons to the public at large.” Feldman said the review by the U.S. Bureau of Pris ons concluded that super vision of the prison chapel libraries was not as thor ough as it should be and that none of the prisons' collections had been screened since the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. “The presence of extrem ist chaplains, contractors or volunteers in the BOP’s correctional facilities can pose a threat to institu tional security and could implicate national security if inmates are encouraged to commit terrorist acts against the United States," the report said. The review suggested audio and video monitor ing of worship areas and chapel classrooms and screening religious service providers to weed out ex treme views. It also recom mended prisons take steps to reduce inmate-led reli gious services and con sider constant staff monitoring of inmate-led services. A message for comment left with a Bureau of Pris ons spokeswoman in Washington was not imme diately returned. Feldman also said that in mates were permitted to order books on their own and bypass the chapel li braries. "So fundamentally this is not a case about what books the inmates have the ability to read," he said. But inmates say the rules have had a chilling effect. Inmate Moshe Milstein told the judge by tele phone that the chaplain at Otisville removed about 600 books from the chapel library on Memorial Day, including Harold S. Kush- ner’s bestseller: “When Bad Things Happen to Good People," a book that Nor man Vincent Peale said was “a book that all humanity needs." "There is definitely ir reparable harm done to us already, and we would like the court to issue the in junction to get the books back as soon as possible," he said. Inmate Douglas Kelly, who described himself as a representative of the prison’s Muslim commu nity, complained of “a de nial of our First “Helping persons to realize Cod's creative intent for his or her life as designed by God’s Word in the areas of evangelism, worship, discipleship, ministry and fellowship."

He said books on Islam already were among the smallest religious collec tions in the library and had been trimmed in half in the Memorial Day removal. He said most of the Is lamic books which disap peared involved the teachings of the Prophet Muhammed and contained instructions on how Mus lims are supposed to pray and how to follow diet and religious laws, along with the statements of religious scholars trained by the prophet. “A lot of what we are missing were definitely prayer books or prayer guides and religious laws on the part of the Muslim faith," he said. The judge said the law suit, filed in Manhattan federal court, might be pre mature because the in mates had not yet followed prison administrative com plaint procedures. She de clined to block the book removals, the remedy sought by the lawsuit. Ron Kuby, a civil rights lawyer who has repre sented a former head Is lamic chaplain in the state prison system who was banned from the prisons after he was accused of making extremist state ments. called the prison book removal "a mass Me morial Day book burning.” But he also said there might be limits to relief the prisoners can seek because the First Amendment rights of prisoners are se verely limited in prison. “What a wonderful way to honor those who have died for the cost of freedom,” he said.

Teacher, I didn't come ttiat way.” Then I say to you; ’’you missed Christ altogether.” And that is why you reject &)e truth. I’ll tell you something else that gives you away as a phony; ypu are ashamed of Christ. Paul cried out in Rom. 1:16; ■Fort am rrat ashamed of ttte gospel of Christ for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one ttiat believeth;-* You tell me ycHi are saved. But you are ashamed to talk about ttie Lord Jesus Christ. Friend, it will be an awhji day when you wake up in hell. Years ago at the office after I began to give out my testimony in print, one of my co-workere said to me bitterly: “I don’t have to go around giving out papers," And it was said to me as of late; "I don’t have to go around talking to people about the Lord." I weep for you. And! want to tell you another reason why; "Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to anoth^: and the LORD heartened, and heard it and a book of remembrance was written before Him for ttiem that feared toe LORD, and that thought upon His name, and they shall be mine, saith toe LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my j0W8ls;„’(Mal.3;16,17) 1 praise the Lord, that day when He makes up His jewels I'll be in that number. This was called to our attention years ago, back probably in the late 70s or early 80s. 1 didn’t even know it was in toe Word of God, Yes, I praise the Lord for saving me by His Grace, Redeeming me by His Blood. And giving me, or appointing me, commissioning me to teach Christ and how He saves poor lost sinners. And 1 weep for you because you say you don’t have to go around talldng and giving out papers on toe Lord. You have no part in Christ. Your case Is sad beyond words of expression.! plead with every awakened sinner; flee to ChrisU Plead His precious Blood! (greater (SctljEicmane S.iH.OE.
