Magistrate: No Sign That Five Percenters Pose Prison Risk
Author: The Associated Press Source: First Amendment Center Online
Title: MAGISTRATE: NO SIGN THAT FIVE PERCENTERS POSE PRISON RISK
Is the Nation of Gods and Earths/Five Percent a religion or something less than heavenly?
A federal magistrate in Detroit is recommending the Michigan prison system recognize the group as a religion and lift a ban on its literature among inmates.
An inmate, Dion Hardaway, said he lost work and school privileges and was designated a security threat until he renounced his membership in the group, an offshoot of the Nation of Islam that promotes black empowerment.

"Security risk" or not, Government does not get to define what is and what is not a religion. Government runs the prisons, so.....
Anyone here who has already decided that this "Five Percent" group is not a real religion, please raise your hands. Now, how many of y'all practice/follow a religion that the vast majority of people on the planet will state emphatically is NOT a real religion at all?
All of you? Yeah, that's what I figured.

Yeah, well xian mythology, that bizarro-world bulls**t that a full third of the planet's inhabitants actually believe, also claims to be a "way of life" and not a "religion." And I've SEEN how Five Percenters act once they get Outside; they immediately run to the street gangs.
So tell me again how they're not a "security risk?"
