Policewomen in Britain, policewomen in Iran
"I'd like to see prayer facilities at work being pretty more universal as they are at the Met where there's a prayer room at New Scotland Yard."
Meanwhile, is anyone asking why Muslims may not want to join the police department, or is that all the British authorities' fault -- doubtless for the inveterate "Islamophobia" they manifest in this very article?
"Police aim for more Muslim staff," from the BBC (thanks to Twostellas):
Ways of recruiting and retaining Muslim police staff will be discussed at a seminar in Bradford on Tuesday.It has been organised by the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO).
Spokesman Rob Beckley said the seminar - the first of its kind to be organised by ACPO - was not in response to any specific incident.
"We want to understand the experiences of Muslim police officers and staff in the police service," he said.
"This will help us identify issues that may impact on the service's ability to recruit, retain and progress Muslim staff," Mr Beckley, assistant chief constable of Hertfordshire, added.
Delegates to the seminar in Bradford - and one later in the week in Swindon - will be addressed by senior officers from forces in England and Wales.[...]
Chief inspector Richard Varley of the Association of Muslim Police said he hoped staff would be able to pool ideas and experiences at the seminars. [...]
"I hope the seminars will result in more improvements in the working conditions and environment for Muslim staff.
"For example, I'd like to see prayer facilities at work being pretty more universal as they are at the Met where there's a prayer room at New Scotland Yard," he said.
It is not known exactly how many Muslims work for the police service, as no religious monitoring is carried out.
However, after the Stephen Lawrence Inquiry report in 1999, all forces across England and Wales were set a 10-year target for ethnic minority recruitment.
Each force was set individual recruitment targets, which reflect the cultural diversity of the community it serves.
But earlier this year the Metropolitan force admitted it was highly improbable it would meet its target of 25% ethnic minority staff by 2009.

Why, is this more appeasement to the great gods of diversity.

Are these meter maids? They don't look like they're physically capable (or attired) to chase down criminals.

The thing is Allah is anything but diverse.

The first level of deterence offered by police officers is their physical presence at any given place and time.
The second level is how they look while they're there at that place.
These aren't cops ~ they're nincompoops, and will be treated as such.

""Police aim for more Muslim staff,"
And the Muslim staff will be aiming for them one day.

One thing which immediately strikes me, when I look at the pictures in this article: the policewomen in Britain are smiling; the ones in Iran are not.
Just an observation...

"...for ethnic minority recruitment.."
In what way does this have anything to do with ethnicity? One could hire as many non Muslim's from the Indian subcontinent and one would find little need to kowtow.

I'd love a criminal to pull their hijab off.

After the case of the Virginia police officer checking on himself and relatives on the terrorist watch list and the FBI agent with ties to hezbollah, I can't see any real benefit in hiring any moslems for any law enforcement positions.

I agree with Elric.
Foxes. Henhouse.
Further observation - in many countries in west Africa and central Africa, just below the advancing 'jihad', where Muslims are still in an absolute minority, they are zeroing in on key strategic professions - especially army and police force. Military coups and civil wars, here we come.
In light of that demonstrable fact, and in light of the history of muslim subversion of targeted societies, I think that Infidel countries today, as a matter of common prudence and self-preservation, should NOT permit Muslims, at all, into army, police force, intelligence, and so on.
Ironically, Muslims in Muslim-majority countries historically did not generally allow non-muslims into positions of authority; they did not permit dhimmis to bear arms or, normally, to serve in the army; because, I think, they feared that those non-Muslims would do to them EXACTLY what they themselves would do if the positions were reversed.
Let's think yet again about where Muslim loyalties lie.
Here's a terrific posting by Hugh from last year, with some wisdom from Samuel Zwemer:
'Samuel Zwemer (d. 1952), an American scholar of Islam, and former editor of Moslem World, wrote the following in 1920 (in "Moslem World," Vol. 10, pp. 154-155):
“Its [Islam's] intolerance and persecuting spirit have been revealed within the past few years, the blood of a million martyrs testifying to the failure of Islam, its absolute failure to understand the words that open every chapter save one of their Sacred Volume: ‘God the Merciful and Compassionate’.
'A few years ago one of the leading Moslems of Baghdad wrote an article for a French journal entitled, The Final Word of Islam to Europe :
‘For us in the world there are only believers and unbelievers; love, charity, fraternity toward believers; contempt, disgust, hatred, and war against unbelievers.
‘Amongst the unbelievers the most hateful and criminal are those who, while recognizing God, attribute to Him earthly relationship, give Him a son, a mother.
‘Learn then, European observers, that a Christian of no matter what position, from the simple fact he is a Christian is in our eyes a blind man fallen from all human dignity.’…
"Can a religion which inculcates such principles make the world safe for democracy?"
Posted by: Hugh at October 16, 2007 1:28 PM.
And compare those words of the 'leading Moslem from Baghdad', as cited by Zwemer, to these words, from Ibn Ishaq's canonical Life of the Prophet:
Ishaq:231 - “Muslims are one ummah (community) to the exclusion of all men. Believers are friends of one another to the exclusion of all outsiders.”
How could one possibly trust a Muslim, raised more or less on such assumptions, to form any part of an Infidel police force charged with impartially enforcing Infidel law (the Infidel Law that his or her religion teaches him or her to regard with contempt)? What would happen if an Infidel girl reported being raped by a Muslim? Could we trust the Muslim policeman, or policewoman, to bring the perp to justice?

To whoever is in charge of police recruiting in Britain:
DON'T HIRE any more Muslims. Keep a very suspicious eye on the ones you're already stuck with, in the Force. If they're caught in any misconduct, BOOT THEM OUT.
If you want to hire 'ethnic minorities' - how about you hire Sikhs, instead.

Frightening images given that the black hoods of the Burka imply support for Sharia law. This is not far from Southern white sheriffs being allowed to wear badges for the KKK on their uniforms.
Posted by: James Martel at May 10, 2008 1:36 PM
Why on earth would Britain even CONSIDER helping with the muslim infiltration of the very forces that are tasked with keeping civil order??? As pointed out previously; the very fact that they feel compelled to wear a burka, while on duty, belies the fact that they also believe there is no other law superior to Sharia! How could any sane person believe the sincerity of their (required) oaths to uphold British laws??? Laws their psuedo-religion requires them to hold in contempt.
Their self-identification, as muslims, alone should be a disqualifying factor to them EVER being given positions of authority in Britain! (or any other non-muslim country) In fact, that very identification should be grounds for investigation of having treasonous sympathies!
Stop the "creeping jihad" and dhimmification of civilization!

Excellent idea!

Yeah.
This will fix your Muslim insurrection in the UK.
Yep.
Great idea.

Great Britain voters, please keep electing all those liberals to make your important legislative decisions and bureaucratic leadership appointments, such as Chiefs of Police Departments! There is so little humor in the world these days, and your liberals keep making one laughable colossal mistake after another, I love it!
