Prisons Purging Books on Faith From Libraries - New York Times

Traci Billingsley, a spokeswoman for the Bureau of Prisons, said the agency was acting in response to a 2004 report by the Office of the Inspector General in the Justice Department. The report recommended steps that prisons should take, in light of the Sept. 11 attacks, to avoid becoming recruiting grounds for militant Islamic and other religious groups. The bureau, an agency of the Justice Department, defended its effort, which it calls the Standardized Chapel Library Project, as a way of barring access to materials that could, in its words, "discriminate, disparage, advocate violence or radicalize."

And just who made up the list of "approved" religious text? And does this imply an "approved religion" for the United States?

Like I am going to trust anyone in the current administration with making a list. Probably the same damn idiot who makes up the "No Fly List."
