When I first saw the title of the below news article - I thought that this MUST be a joke - surely not serious. But, to my dismay, the article is true - Police in (the once) Great Britain have dhimmified-up enough so that they now offer a HIJAB UNIFORM for female muslim police.
Sughra Ahmed says ""There may also be women who are already with the force who do not wear the scarf but choose to later. Again, this will be positive for them." --------Oh let's be sure we encourage hijab wearing -- plus you can be sure those muslim women who have chosen to not wear the veil will soon receive "pressure" from the Islamo-Sharia-police to do so. (Despite his prior comment)
For in-depth discussion of Muslim women and the veil - go to HERE
Some quick questions:
1) So if a hijabbed up muslim female policewoman is in pursuit of a criminal or helping another police officer or victim during or immediately after a crime & her veil falls off - does she have to stop ? Has this woman committed a crime against Islam for being seen without her veil. If so - Which court would she have to go to - British court OR the "local" Sharia court?
2) If someone either intentionally or accidentally pulls off the muslim policewoman's hijab - will they be charged with a crime? What crime would that be? And which court will they go to - British court OR the "local" Sharia Court??
3) If I am either the victim, bystander or veil stealing culprit and see the muslim policewoman without her hijab - have I/we committed a crime? And again which court will judge me - British court OR the "local" Sharia court?
4) Can these muslim policewomen even be around men? - what if she touches or is touched by a infidel or muslim man (not her husband) - Something tells me that's a "no-no". Yep - it's a BIG no-no according to HERE - So which court will the offender(s) go - British court OR the "local" Sharia court?
I'm betting Sharia court on both #1 - #2 - #3 & #4.
Of course all of the above begs the question if these are problems - just what do "devout" muslim women DO in the police and why they heck are they there to begin with?? Oops - guess that's just more of the (myth of) Islamophobia.
That is how far the Islamization of Great Britain has gone -the hijab is mainstream.
(One wonders when the full face veil - or niqab - will make it into the official British police uniform line-up - can't be too long now.)
Article in full - just in case it "disappears" (as they so often do) and you all think I'm barking mad. Link in title.
The force has become the latest to approve a design for a headscarf suitable for officers on patrol.
Senior officers believe the lack of the option has deterred applications from the considerable number of Muslim women who choose to wear the hijab.
The police hijab is plain black and made of a flame-retardant material.
Officers will be able to wear a standard police hat on top of it.
Metropolitan police officers wearing a uniform hijab
A small number of forces nationwide have taken a similar step, including Thames Valley and the Metropolitan police.Superintendent Geoff Feavyour, who leads the Leicestershire Constabulary recruitment team, compared the development to the incorporation of the turban several years ago, which removed a barrier to the recruitment of male Sikhs.
The police's annual report for 2007/08 showed women made up about 23 per cent of the force's officers.
The number of officers from black and Asian communities stood at about six per cent – short of the 15 per cent target.
Mr Feavyour said: "Clearly, we want people from all walks of life to join the force and the fact we have the hijab available now shows our commitment to that. It's an extension to our uniform which will, hopefully, show people they are welcome.
"It is very important to us that the force reflects the community it serves."
The move has also been welcomed by officers, including the Leicestershire branch of the National Association of Muslim Police.
Sgt Yakub Ismail, chairman of the branch, said: "Leicestershire Constabulary is always understanding and supportive of the religious needs of its staff.
"It has always encouraged applicants from all communities and religious denominations.
"I firmly believe neighbourhood policing can only be truly achieved by having officers from within those neighbourhoods being part of the police family."
Sughra Ahmed, a research fellow at the Islamic Foundation, in Markfield, said: "Not every Muslim woman who wants to join the police would want to wear the hijab, but that choice is there now and that is a very important step.
"There may also be women who are already with the force who do not wear the scarf but choose to later. Again, this will be positive for them."
Sabrina Khan, a 19-year-old student from Evington, Leicester, said: "I don't wear the veil, but a lot of my family and friends do.
"I have seen Sikh officers wearing turbans and if I saw a female officer wearing the hijab, I would feel that the police respected the Muslim faith."
Osob Osman, an 18-year-old student from North Evington, said: "The hijab has had a lot of bad press during the past couple of years.
"This will give women more career opportunities and, hopefully, change people's attitudes to Muslim people."
Police spoke to community groups, including the Leicestershire Federation of Muslim Organisations, when they were developing the garment.
Suleman Nagdi, spokesman for the federation, said: "It's a wonderful move and it will help the police encompass a wider range of people in its recruitment."
Resham Singh Sandhu, chairman of the Sikh Welfare and Cultural Society and a trustee of Leicester Council of Faiths, said: "This is a positive step forward for religious people who want to serve the community as police officers."
UPDATE 02/21/09
NORWAY SAYS NO TO HIJAB POLICE UNIFORM!
(Of course they must have read my above blog)
"Oslo - Norway will not go ahead with plans to allow women police officers to wear the hijab - the Muslim headscarf - as part of their uniform, the justice minister said Friday. Knut Storberget and his ministry has come under fire after the recent proposal to change regulations for police uniforms to allow religious headwear to be used was announced. "

Muslim outrage:
At first, the Muslims were outraged by cartoons but I didn't speak up because I wasn't an artist.
And then the Muslims were outraged by history books and news but I didn't speak up because I don't read much.
And then the Muslims were outraged by women who weren't completely veiled but I didn't speak up because I'm not a woman.
And then the Muslims were outraged by the practice of other religions but I didn't speak up because I'm not very religious.
And then the Muslims were outraged by the existence of Infidels so when they came for me … there was no one left to speak up.
The last line is the ultimate goal of Islam the rest are just steps towards that goal.

Aren't the public services like the judicial system suppose to keep a neutral appearance? It is simple. Now when you get a ticket or when you get arrested by one of those headscarves, you can claim religious persecution.

Islam is a cult of death and a mental disorder

What if a female hijab wearing arresting officer has a stress attack, shoots someone and flees. How would any bystanders identify her?

This is nuts. Islam is not a religion, it's lunacy. It needs to be treated as what it is, a stupid,sick cult. It does not deserve to be treated the same as peaceful,human rights respecting religions. I think that they are all silly,but Islam is just plain bad news.

I seriously doubt that any of the police-women would choose to wear this anyway. The type of " Muslim" woman who is brainwashed enough with her "inferiority" that she'd hide behind a veil just isn't the type of woman with the self confidence to become a police officer. I can't imagine a woman strong enough to be a cop buying into the whole Islamic/Arab mindset of women being dumb property. Damn, Islam is some backwards,seriously messed up stuff. The men and women don't even know how to talk or relate to a person of the opposite sex,it just does not happen until they get married. What a socially backwards lot. I feel sorry for the poor people who grow up brainwashed into this 7th century bullshit.

"which will, hopefully, show people they are welcome."
"It is very important to us that the force reflects the community it serves."
"It has always encouraged applicants from all communities and religious denominations."
that's why BNP members cannot join the police, is it? since the BNP have never hurt anybody, whereas Islam is directly responsible for death and stifling of human rights all over the world, every day.

If I was a tory living in England, I would be ashamed.
Instead, I'm a US citizen who is appalled.
It has to stop.

...we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but the enemy of God/Satan...and those who follow him in ignorance of the truth and the Law of Liberty that has been twisted by Islamic radicals--as it has been by other faiths including the church of England,Episcopal, Methodist and Catholic churches in times past and today (burning believers who are righteous and elevating those who are burning in sin).
As for Muslim women police officers...such is an oxymoron of monumental proportions. Muslim women have no rights, much less authority to enforce righteous biblically-based laws among men who follow a system that encourages suicide, "honor" killing of family members and lying for any selfish purpose. Foolishness is rewarded badly...even when it is politically correct.
