BRITISH POLICE WANT MORE MUSLIM OFFICERS

The Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) is in process of holding seminars around the UK so it can develop more ways of pandering to muslims and accomodating the Islamic faith in British police stations. Prayer stations are expected to be placed in all police stations. Scotland has just created its first Muslim Police Association in order to "combat Islamophobia".

In a touchy-feely approach to "feeling the muslim experience" - (the police version of "walking a mile in your shoes a burka") the police hope that empathizing with muslims will enable the police service to recruit more muslims. Hiring men and women who would make the best police officers is now taking a back seat to individual recruitment targets, which reflect the cultural diversity of the community it serves - in other words--- minority quotas are required and must be attained regardless of the quality of the applicants.

Thus the islamisation of the British police is quickly progressing - with the help of dhimmi police organisations.

Police aim for more Muslim staff

Muslim police officers and civilian staff will discuss employment issues 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. The conference will also hear from representatives of the National Black Police Association and the Association of Muslim Police. 'Improvements' 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. Mr Varley said his own force, the Metropolitan Police, had addressed a number of the needs of Muslim staff, but he would like to see that extended across all forces. "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.

You have an irrational fear of Muslims known as "Islamophobia." It's okay. Relax. It's alchemical. I converted more than 11 years ago and am so much more happy now with a religion that actually makes sense.

Don't worry. Someday, many of your grandchildren and great grandchildren will be Muslims. Sucks to be you, huh? :-D

No, still does and always will suck to be you.

Mad Dervish:
How do you define "Islamophobia"?
I know what it should be: a phobia is an "irrational fear or hatred".
But very often those who are labelled as "Islamophobes" actually know a great deal about Islam whilst not being moslems.
This suggests that an "Islamophobe" is "a non-muslim who knows more about Islam than most muslims would wish".

I'm really glad that Islam makes you happy, but just which parts "make sense" to you?
Is it:
1. The 'divine'permission to beat women?
2. The polygamy?
3. The possibility (sadly curtailed today) to capture women as sex-slaves?
4. The chance to murder your way into 'paradise' with its 72 virgins (or is it raisins) waiting there just "begging for it" and the "strength of 100 men" to go with them and the 28 boys?
5. the thought that you are now amongst the "best of all people", superior to us mere "kaffirs", not through contribution to society or any other "worthy" reason, but solely on the basis of religion?
6. that "fighting" is obligatory for you?
7. that violence towards kaffirs appeals to you?
8. that the rules of your religion are 'rational' eg. fasting sunrise-sunset which can equal 24/7 in the far North or South?
9. You like having EVERY aspect of your life dictated so you have no need to think for yourself?
10. that a seventh century mentality appeals to you?

Jonc - excellent response!

I can tell you in a nutshell what will happen with more muslim Police...

"Sorry but muslim youth get a bad press. You sure it wasn't white youths..?"

Think I am joking? Think I am making this up?

Ask one of my work colleagues (ironically also a Jon C). This is what he was told by a muslim community officer. Makes you think eh?

I could tell you of far, far worse that I've seen, but I do not want to run the risk of identifying the vulnerable individual (female, single) involved.

As another example, did you note how subtly biased the reporting and Police comment vis-a-vis the "English Defence League" was?
If you believe the police and reporters all the trouble was from (white) EDL marchers. If you listen to eye-witnesses (ironically broadcast on the BBC) you realise that "Asian youf" were at least as much to blame and if you look carefully the "asians" involved were clearly muslim.
A further irony is that the picture of the "hoody" shows an "asian" youth not a white one. Again a close look needed.
