Police adopt uniform hijab

Saturday, January 31, 2009, 09:30

Police have opened the door to female Muslim recruits by incorporating the hijab into the uniform.

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.

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.

    NOW, the question is: When is the Queen going to start bowing to Middle-Eastern Leaders??
  • Templars:- ...Further more concern involving Muslim Female Officers, it is common knowledge that Muslim women have very little say in matters within Islamic society, how can they be sent to for instance the recent London demonstrations to Police their own kind, now that would have been interesting, playing Devils Advocate maybe but the idea of allowing minority cultures into Law and Order has had its success but I fear it would be catastrophic in the case of Muslim Women Officers, they are looked upon as 3rd of 4th rate status symbols if you like, I believe in Afghanistan when the Taliban was ejected from Power standards for Muslim Women rocketed skywards with women being allowed to be educated, Girl's could attend school and a small and limited number of Muslim Women took to law and order with many being assassinated most recently a senior member. Their main task was to investigate complaints concerning Muslim Women, it seems Muslim Males cannot do this task, far comment, something to do with 'Seeing the naked Female form' how archaic. So one can see just the tip of the Ice Berg with Policing by Muslim Female Officers, imagine the Muslim Female Officer making an arrest of a Male Muslim offender, which it is understood could happen, that Officer's residence could well be Petrol bombed, this is Male Muslim attitude, its a big 'Boys Club' if you like, seeing the attitude of the masses against the minority in the London Demonstrations, the Rabble took no notice of Police Officers, what would they do if they saw a Hijab fluttering in the wind, Yes its scary, Muslim Males have no respect for Muslim Females least of all Female Muslim Officers. Then we have the all embracing and most unanswered question, are Female Muslim Officers going to be of good value for money, they have to Pray five times a day, will they take reduction in monthly salary as they cannot be doing the Policing duties having to Pray at certain times of the day or will this be wavered as they are a Minority group, watch the rest of the Constabulary get pissed at that little number, lets be Honest here in the UK they are not cut out or worth the trouble, once again it smacks of Government interference, handing over these Isles to a group of Medieval degenerates. I would be interested in learning of how many more none Islamic states have taken the trouble to train and employ Muslim Female Officer's to include the Hijab, then if any Male Muslims have the Balls to join our Law and Order would they demand the head dress of Muslim men and what colour would it be. - Templars.

    Beej, You are of course right although I fear it is not the ordinary man in the street that is to blame, the true Brit is of course peppered with another pressure of daily concern and that is this Euro problem and the way our country is draining away into the Abbis, it is only now that the swelling numbers of Muslims and their outrageous demonstrations that the 'True British' born with parentage reaching many generations in the past can see the demise now facing our Country. Yes you are correct in stating that the Jewish nation helped in WWII in fighting for Freedom, whereas Middle East states sided with the Nazi's. Since the Heath Government and then hence forth all Governments no matter Conservative or Labour have been apart of this, whether or not they wanted, they had to go along with those foundations laid by 'Heath' Yes Treason is the word and all are Guilty of this charge who were in following Governments, 'they did nothing to avert' the handing over of Great Britain to Europe. So now we have a Flood of so called Political Asylum seekers who's only task is to suck the milk from Mother UK's breasts, it is so easy to claim you speak no English, the assistance you receive in claiming hard earned Tax Payers money borders on the 'Parasitic' 'Leeches' whatever, you need, never work again and you can say what you want against the Country you now live in. The present UK Government is not only handing over the UK to Europe but also to the Hordes of Muslim, inbred Animals. Its all to late now, and soon Muslim Police Woman, who the hell do you know who is who? the easiest for a suicide bomber's success is to dress up in an official uniform, nobody knows what indoctrination or inc the Muslim has had so how do you know what the extreme limit is of this race, taking into account their prime target is Islam, and Islam is teaching death to all none Muslims. We are still awaiting our 'Referendum' promised by Thatcher and then Majors, and even Blair mentioned that too, we will never get it now because we are already Europeans, and soon to be a state of Islam.

    "...uniform for female Muslim officers" -uh, excuse me, but doesn't include pretty much ALL of the British police nowadays?

    Okay, maybe that joke is a little too mean to the REAL British MEN in police uniform who feel compelled to obey their corrupt, cowardly dhimmi 'leaders', at least for a little while yet, because they need the regular paycheck for supporting their families, but look at those recent videos of British bobbies retreating, retreating, retreating while Hamas thugs throw traffic cones and other articles at them, shouting, "F***ing cowards! Kufars!". (An now I make a fearful glance over my shoulder in case my wife sees this...my apologies also to all courageous western ladies, and I know there are many, who stand their ground in the face of jihadi scum).

    All traditional British loyalists, please IGNORE all the politically correct garbage the leftist establishment has been trying to inculate in your psyche since Sir Winston Churchill left office. Guns are not evil by themselves. In fact, guns in the hands of good people save lives. Same with knives, but guns have better range. Arm yourselves as best you can for self and family-defense in the likely sooner-rather-than-later-arriving jihad. If you qualify for a double-barreled shotgun, get one. If not, get a strong chef's knife, perhaps with a good broom handle to lash it to for making a spear (more range than just a knife). Get martial arts training, get a watchdog, or maybe a pet pig. Tell your leaders to STOP Islamic appeasement, creeping sharia law, and immigration now. Choose the best leaders and work to get them elected. Good luck.

    Dear Beej,I regard Great Britain,the Vatican and America as pillars of the western
    civilization.Having said that,I must say that your country is slowly becoming part
    of the UMMAH.
    British folks are CLUELESS about the mortal danger that Islam represents to
    their beloved lifestyle,for it is the very opposite of muslim's.When someone like
    you,for instance,try and alert your countrymen,you'll be labeled as a 'bigot' and
    a 'racist'.Nothing more distant from the reality.
    As I said earlier,the POLITICALLY CORRECT movement is here to stay,and
    will prevent corageous people like yourself of speaking out the truth.

    Jewhawk, it pains and shames me to have to say this, given I was born, raised and educated in Britain, but if you read the history of the 20th Century you will quickly discover that Britain has behaved abominably to the Jews, favouring the Muslim Arabs at every turn. Frankly, it puzzles me notwithstanding the petroleum factor, for Jews have contributed hugely to Britain's progress in all fields of endeavour, while Arabs have achieved nothing for the country. Jews fought for the Allied cause while Arabs sided with Nazi Germany. Without Jewish minds, America would still be trying to build its first A-bomb, and the invasion of Japan might still be underway! The Jewish "race" is the best friend Britain ever had, but the Brits are hell-bent on acceding to every Muslim demand. Christ, I am ashamed.

    England is becoming ENGLANDNISTAN.

    The british are choosing for SUICIDE,instead of fighting to keep
    its centuries-old traditions...And if the muslims DEMAND the
    pubs to be CLOSED?

    You will AGREE,for you're too afraid of saying NO to the
    muslims!!!
    FIGHT!FIGHT!DON'T RETREAT,YOU BUNCH OF COWARDS!!
