"Guantanamo Bay's secret weapon," he said, is "the use of Islam against prisoners to break them." He said prisoners were forced to prostrate in the center of a circle inscribed with a pentagram by a guard who yelled, "Satan is your God now, not Allah." He said female interrogators "exploit(ed) conservative Islamic etiquette" by undressing before interrogating detainees and "giving lap dances" to unnerve them.
Yee said the Quran, believed by Muslims to be the literal word of God, was "desecrated in many different ways," such as being urinated upon and "tossed on the floor."

Yee said he tried to create more tolerance for detainees' faith by helping institute new policies that were more respectful towards the Quran.
So they arrested him.
