 Four prisoners are planning to sue the UK prison service for refusing their application to practice their Jedi religion freely. One of the inmates wrote an open letter from HMP Isis in South London decrying their treatment: 'This is an example of the kind of intolerance and religious bigotry faced by members of our faith on a daily basis, both within the prison system and without. 'Jedis have been portrayed very negatively in the media ever since the tragic battle of Yavin IV, when Luke Skywalker and a group of left-wing militants targeted the Death Star in a terrorist attack, killing thousands of civilian personnel.' The inmate requested his name to be omitted due to fear of 'retaliation from the Dark Side'. According to the 2012 census the Jedi faith is the UKs seventh most-popular religion, yet the National Offender Management Service (NOMS) does not include it among the 18 faiths it recognises. Two of the religions accepted by NOMS are Paganism and Rastafarianism. http://metro.co.uk/2014/04/22/jedi-jailbirds-to-sue-prison-service-for-not-recognising-their-faith-4705456/ |

@ piggle - 23.04.14 - 11:41am As legitimate a faith as any other. (1) They've not killed enough people over the years to be taken seriously. (2) They don't have a really old book. |

'According to the 2012 census the Jedi faith is the UKs seventh most popular religion, yet the National Offender Management Service (NOMS) does not include it among the 18 faiths it recognises.' Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, erm Buddhist and atheist? What are the six before Jediism? |
