Washington Post and The Telegraph throw up the same estimate, but in trying to trace the source it seems it is a claim of Muslim leaders in France, and not an official figure. The relevant French prison website confirms roughly the same number of prisoners, but says nothing about religion. It does say that 21.7% are foreigners.The New York Times is a bit better and claims on the basis of prison visits 2000-2003 and 2011-2013 that it is "about half" http://www.nytimes.com/2015/01/26/opinion/the-mill-of-muslim-radicalism-in-france.html?_r=0<br />Would like to be more precise, but can only reply that the estimates come from some prison visits and claims by Muslim leaders.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09320614837348759094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4624586630299165335.post-73886799142523403562016-08-10T07:55:54.206+01:002016-08-10T07:55:54.206+01:00As a french man, I would be very interested in the...As a french man, I would be very interested in the source of your claim that 70% of prison population is muslim. Not that I doubt it (I have lived near the famous Prison de la Santé in Paris), but I'd like to find evidence. Could you help me ?

Too many to screen.<br /><br />There is a problem if screening is for intent rather than anything concrete. <br /> <br />The French screened much larger numbers in the Algerian war. Camps were filled with large numbers of suspects. Or think about how the US screened their citizens of Japanaese origin. Again camps were quickly filled. <br /><br />It seems the problem is mostly to decide what to do with a false or probably false positive. Essentially the decision is whether to treat terror as a crime or as war.<br /><br />Recently, European governments have been treating terror as a mental health problem to be addressed by social workers, now they are beginning to move to treating it as a criminal problem to be addressed by the police. <br /><br />Karl Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
