An attempt at appeasement, in an update on this story. "Sniffer dogs to wear ‘Muslim’ bootees," by Stuart MacDonald for the Sunday Times, July 6:
Police sniffer dogs will have to wear bootees when searching the homes of Muslims so as not to cause offence.
Guidelines being drawn up by the Association of Chief Police Officers (Acpo) urge awareness of religious sensitivities when using dogs to search for drugs and explosives. The guidelines, to be published this year, were designed to cover mosques but have been extended to include other buildings.
Where Muslims object, officers will be obliged to use sniffer dogs only in exceptional cases. Where dogs are used, they will have to wear bootees with rubber soles. “We are trying to ensure that police forces are aware of sensitivities that people can have with the dogs to make sure they are not going against any religious or cultural element within people’s homes. It is being addressed and forces are working towards doing it,” Acpo said.
Problems faced by the use of sniffer dogs were highlighted last week when Tayside police were forced to apologise for a crime prevention poster featuring a german shepherd puppy, in response to a complaint by a Muslim councillor.
Islamic injunctions warn Muslims against contact with dogs, which are regarded as “unclean”.
Police dogs at present are issued with footwear only at scenes of explosions to prevent them injuring their paws on broken glass.
This may be more proactive dhimmitude:
Ibrahim Mogra, one of Britain’s leading imams, said the measures were unnecessary: “In Islamic law the dog is not regarded as impure, only its saliva is. Most Islamic schools of law agree on that. If security measures require to send a dog into a house, then it has to be done. I think Acpo needs to consult better and more widely.
“I know in the Muslim community there is a hang-up against dogs, but this is cultural. Also, we know the British like dogs; we Muslims should do our bit to change our attitudes.”
Cultural? There are ample hadiths to be quoted to suggest otherwise, including: "Once Gabriel promised the Prophet (that he would visit him, but Gabriel did not come) and later on he said, "We, angels, do not enter a house which contains a picture or a dog" (Sahih Bukhari 4.54.450). In any event, Kogra's congregation would do well to heed his suggestion.
John Midgley, co-founder of the Campaign Against Political Correctness, said: “The police are in effect being overly sensitive to potential criminals and not being sensitive enough to the public at large who need to be protected. These sort of things have a counter-productive effect because they cause huge friction between different communities.”
Caroline Kisko, of the Kennel Club, said: “We would not condone any attempt to make search dogs wear special clothing, which could cause them distress.”
I suppose the days of seeing American law enforcement officers acting like the appeasing fools that British officers are demonstrating is not far behind.
If only they were knowledgeble enough to realize the path that Islam is bringing them down to where eventually the aggressive Islamic world will take, or demand what ever they want.
In the perversion of multiculturalism, Britain is slowly but surely destroying its own cultural identity so as not to offend an ideology that only respects their own culture and could care less about Britishness.
Watching the fools rush in is almost to pitiful watch.
“I know in the Muslim community there is a hang-up against dogs, but this is cultural. Also, we know the British like dogs; we Muslims should do our bit to change our attitudes.”
YES THEY SHOULD HISTIORICLY ALL IMMIGRANTS WERE EXPECTED TO INTEGRATE INTO THE CULTURE THE CAME TO MUSLIMS ARE NOT ANY DIFERINT IF THEY WANT TO LIVE IN A MUSLIM HELL HOLE RATHER THAN A FREE WESTERN SOCCITY WERE THEY CAN LIVE AND WORSHIP AS THEY WISH THE SOULD RESPECT OUR VALUES RATHERE THAN TRYING TO BE THE TOP PIG LIKE THE NAZIS WERE TRYING TO BE IN THE 30S
Maybe they can also cover the noses of the animals.
That way they won't "offend" any mooooseleeembs by finding any bomb making materials or drugs.
That way mooooseleeeembs won't be *offended* by any link between bomb-making and islam.
If those dogs ever figure out that it's because of mooooseleeeembs that they are being made to wear these booties..
..Revenge of the Shepherds..
Woof!
You have got to be kidding me! Please, please tell me this is a joke.
Because I have just about HAD IT.
Mo, this is not a joke. You simply CANNOT make this stuff up!
U.K.: Police dogs to wear "booties" when searching Muslim homes to avoid causing offense
Where have you been??
In the UK we have a very strong/vocal animal rights lobby ............justifiably so in my opinion.
Not only do they have to wear booties but they also have to wear pegs on their noses (poor dogs)
The following is a particularly graphic photograph that I would urge readers to only open if they are prepared for the utter horror. Sorry not suitable for minors/jihadis etc. etc. etc. etc.
Dog Bless

For those of you who haven't, I highly recommend the very enlightning interview of Carolyn Glick by Jamie Glazov from Front Page Magazine.
It is intitled "Shackled Warrior" from her new book.
You can read it here on Carolyn Glicks Website:

God my head is spinning with all these rules & regulations as to what "offends" these people! Get the dogs a bib so that any spit/drool etc that may fall on the floor or come into contact etc with these people can be contained!
Their beliefs are just so wrong on so many levels it just defies logic.
The police should wear clown suits that match,
My doggies don't like their booties, which we've tried appending to them in cold or snowy weather. They'd rather freeze their little tootsies off than don the footwear.
Maybe the police trainers can get their dogs acclimated to walking in booties, but my observation is that dogs are uncomfortable without their feet on the ground.
I recommend the UK police dogs watch and learn from the authorities.
After all, it must be pretty hard walking with your head up your arse, too.
"इंदौर में तीन सिपाहियों पर हत्या का प्रकरण
भास्कर न्यूजSunday, July 06, 2008 00:37 [IST]"
TRANSLATION : "Three policemen charged with murder"
इंदौरशुक्रवार को उपद्रव के दौरान चौथी पलटन और जूना रिसाला के रहवासियों में हुई गोलीबारी में दौरान दो युवकों की मौत के मामले में सदर बाजार पुलिस ने अपने ही तीन सिपाहियों पर हत्या का मामला दर्ज कर लिया। शुक्रवार दोपहर जिंसी चौराहे पर शुरू हुए उपद्रव के बाद चौथी पलटन और जूना रिसाला के रहवासियों में भी आमने-सामने गोलीबारी हो गई थी।
इसमें रिजवान पिता अब्दुल रहमान (22), सैयद तथा जिशान पिता निजामुद्दीन (20) की मौत हुई। रात को एमवाय अस्पताल में हुए पोस्टमार्टम के बाद जिशान का शव जूना रिसाला पहुंचा तो परिजन ने बड़ी मस्जिद के बाहर शव रखकर अंतिम संस्कार से मना कर दिया। उनकी मांग थी कि पहले पुलिस आरोपी पुलिसकर्मियों के विरुद्ध हत्या का प्रकरण दर्ज करें उसके बाद ही जनाजा निकलेगा।
आखिर में रात 1.30 बजे सदर बाजार थाने पर गुलाम अहमद खान की शिकायत पर सिपाही नीरज उर्फ चीकू, जितेंद्र सेन तथा यशवंत पंवार के विरुद्ध हत्या का प्रकरण दर्ज किया। वे तीनों सद बाजार थाने पर ही पदस्थ हैं, जो उपद्रव के दौरान ड्यूटी पर तैनात थे।
शांति की पदचाप
दो दिन तक हिंसा की गिरफ्त में रहा इंदौर शनिवार को अमूमन शांत रहा। शाम को बाहरी क्षेत्र के 11 थाना क्षेत्रों में 26 घंटे बाद कफ्यरू में दो घंटे की ढील दी गई, जिसे बाद में एक घंटे और बढ़ा दिया गया। उधर, संवेदनशील 13 थाना क्षेत्रों में फिलहाल कफ्यरू में कोई राहत नहीं दी गई है। छत्रीपुरा, मल्हारगंज, पंढरीनाथ व खजराना में कफ्यरू को 50 घंटे से ज्यादा समय हो गया है।
उज्जैन : तनाव कायम
उज्जैन : शहर तीसरे दिन भी तनाव में रहा। पथराव और हिंसा की घटना हुई और पुलिस ने लाठीचार्ज करके उपद्रवियों को खदेड़ा। महाकाल क्षेत्र में दूसरे दिन धारा 144 प्रभावशील रही। पुलिस कर्मियों ने बलपूर्वक दुकानें बंद करवाईं।
Here's what happened. muhammadans started firing at the police after their Friday namaz, and when the police shot back, three imitaters of uswa-hasana, al-insan, al-kamil were killed. Now the police department has charged these policemen with MURDER for doing their duty. Riots have been going on in Indore for the past few days and it is only today that the curfew was lifted. Of course, curfew or no curfew, nothing can prevent muhammadans from going to mosques to bang heads, and to fire at policemen if they feel like it. And if the policemen try to do their duty (in this case, they were defending themselves since the muhammadans had taken positions in their homes and the police were under heavy fire) the dhimmi polits charge them with murder.
Will translate that article into English later ; am so angry I can hardly type.
Here's the link to the news.
http://www.bhaskar.com/2008/07/06/0807060040_curfew_tension.html
If you get a chance to obtain a Rosetta Stone course, the first four words you learn in any language are: boy, girl , cat and dog. Yes, dog. And dog gets declined in so many ways: another word is dance, which is parsed out with a man, a woman, a woman and a man. Indeed, there are all sorts of innocuous activities going on in Rosetta Stone's immersion course that would be considered taboo by the strict interpreters of the hadith and sunnah. Women driving, for example. The next words will be, woman, man, man and boy, woman and girl, man and woman boy and dog, woman in a car, boy in a car, girl in a car, boy and girl in a boat, girl and dog, cat and car. And then there is swimming and playing together. Sexes intermingling all over the place, I tell ya.
Barron's also has an interesting semi-hypnotic Arabic learning cassette, called TravelTalk, where, while listening to the strains of Vivaldi, you are lulled into a relaxed method of visualized learning. And what, pray tell do you learn? Why, you learn about a little girl, who runs free from her family, in order to catch up to the man walking his dog along the beach. You learn all about his dog, including how old he is, what his name is. And then, you, the listener, become a blonde German girl named Petra who is booking passage on a train all by yourself in some far flung destination, where you will be safe, even though you are an unveiled young woman, blond, and inexcusably European.
I am offended by Islam .. But who assures that I am listened to ?!
Aren't my sensitivities having the same rights as the Muslims' ?
An article I wrote long time ago....also to be found at: http://gabriellegoldwater.com/2005/oct/05_01.html
By Gabrielle Goldwater
I am questioning the common sense of the European Community to MY sensitivities, that under law have the same legal rights to be acknowledged, as those of Muslims.
It's time WE ALL start to demand OUR Legal Rights.
Don't the Muslims have it backward ? Doesn't Europe has it all backwards ?
Lets remember; Europe and by that matter America, is not having it's roots in Islam, NO, the roots are in Judeo-Christian values.
Muslims are NOT the only ones that are offended -
NO - I am tired of listening to Muslims poor little sensitivities and Their constant whining ........ when they themselves are never sensitive to their own fellow Muslims going out on a murder spree and slitting throats.
I am offended by;
Muslims most incendiary language, signals, this is not coming from Christians and Jews, but from Muslim clergies, Muslim Organizations, from Muslim pulpits, Soap boxes in Hyde Park, schools in Europe, esp. the UK.
You name it They use it.
How come OUR democracies are deleting OUR rights - our Free speech - Free expression; But only accept what Muslims are offended by ?
There is no Christian, Jewish or Hindu (etc.) doctrine that mandates followers of those faiths to kill people who disagree with them, and to make the state in which they reside subject to their interpretation of holy writ, and subject to, what is offensive to their sensitivities.
I am offended by;
Burger King withdrawing and changing the logo for its ice cream cups. I want to see the twirl
I am offended by;
Many now changing OUR logos, flags and the likes, to ONLY suit Muslims.
(After all they chose to immigrate to our regions - so THEY have to fit in - or leave - not the other way around)
I am offended by;
Universities and schools kowtowing to Islam and disrespect MY sensitivities and rights
I am offended by;
All Muslims' slogans against Christians, Jews and all other non-Muslims regarded as "Infidels" raining down from Islamic pulpits throughout the world.
I am offended by;
In short all continuing Muslim Lies and libels all over their Media, TV, Internet and where ever they find a space to go berserk with their lies.
I am offended by;
The harsh rhetoric that makes reference to Koranic justifications of violent means - murder and mayhem.
I am offended by;
Muslims taking our democratic states as an arm of God that They use to achieve Their will.
I am offended by;
That they believe, forcing those who do not believe to submit to those (Islam) who do.
I am offended by;
Islam's torrent Belief, that land once possessed by Islam - even if it was taken by force from others - remains holy Islamic territory.
That - Such "lost lands" are to be restored to their "rightful rule."
These doctrines suggest that not only is Israel in jeopardy but also large parts of Southern Europe, Spain and North Africa, which were once dominated by Islam.
Christians and Jews aren't declaring war on the world, and they are not hijacking airplanes to fly into buildings or blowing themselves up among civilians. Those who do claim their mandate is from Islam, to serve Allah.
What a wonderful idea, Why didn't I think of it? May I suggest that the booties are made out of brushed pig skin, this will allow the paws to breath, silk stocking will obviously have to be used we wouldn't want the booties to chaff the poor dogs paws.
The other obvious thing is that the booties would have to have elastic sides, not just for ease of putting them on but because the dogs, like the police officers in my country have not yet leaned how to tie their own bloody shoe laces.
Booties for our Furry Friends?--how CUTE!
"Muslims are not offended by the age-old Islamic tradition of forcing their young daughters to marry their 60-year-old uncles. Girls as young as 12 are forced to marry their cousins and occasionally even their half-brothers."
Gabrielle has every right to be offended by all the things she menshioned. Only this one is not right. Girls may marry their cusins but not their half-brothers or uncles. for the rest I do agree with you
Here's hoping that since 9/11 wasn't reason enough for the apathetic or robotically "tolerant" be critical of Islam, maybe dog hating is.

Well said. It's about time we ALL said this!
The police should wear clown suits that match.

LOL! Laughing with my head thrown back, unrestrainedly, Mr. Fitnah!
Mo, this is not a joke. You simply CANNOT make this stuff up!

No, you can't. It's unbelievable!
Great list, Gabrielle. Yeah, I'm offended, mightily offended, by Islam, Mo and the Q, and I consider the Q to be a hate crime.
Amal.Mamoul...If you really agree with Gabrielle, You sound like a good candidate for apostasy...Faithfreedom.org...
Don't think about it, just do it...
Yeah. Dogs wore booties to protect their feet from the heat and sharp debris when they searched through the rubble of the WTC towers for bodies, too...
How I hate Muslims!
How Islam is contrary to science:
Ibrahim Mogra, one of Britain’s leading imams, said the measures were unnecessary: “In Islamic law the dog is not regarded as impure, only its saliva is.
The truth:
In a 1990 study done at the University of California, Davis, researchers found dog saliva killed E. coli and Streptococcus canis, another harmful bacteria. The scientists concluded that when mother dogs licked their nipples it helped keep puppies free from disease, and that dogs licking their own wounds accomplished the same goal.

Crazy Dentist...I kissed a dog in 1963, and have been in good health since...it may be time for a booster if I can find a willing dog... :)
Another example of creeping Islamisation. The Authorities and the PC brigade will eventually see that they are doing the Muslims no favours by constantly acquiescing to these unreasonable and ridiculous demands. I forecast that the next major incident of Islamic terrorism here in the UK will result in an unprecedented backlash against the Muslim community, because the majority of the British people have just about had enough of this nonsense.
@jasonsut, considering the recent releases of muslim terrorists in GB, the UK govt has made MY LIST of terrorist supporters. The British PEOPLE need to clean house.
Yeah. Dogs wore booties to protect their feet from the heat and sharp debris when they searched through the rubble of the WTC towers for bodies, too...

Ditto. And for MANY good reasons.
I hate Nazis, too.
There are many things in this cruel, brutal, and imperfect world WORTHY of being hated.

A little OT but I remember being shocked when my brother "kissed" his dog but seeing the look on my face he said "You won't catch anything from it, anything that licks its own arse has to be antiseptic"
