Dhimmi Police

I posted the other day about the ridiculous idea that police raiding the homes of Muslim terror suspects had been told to remove their shoes. Well, it's actually MUCH worse than that. Am I angry? You bet. This is f**king ridiculous.

Bedfordshire police have issued an 18-point list of guidelines for police who might have to deal with Muslim terror suspects.

• Rapid entry needs to be the last resort and raids into Muslim houses are discouraged for a number of religious dignity reasons.

So police may not raid a house that they normally would simply because it belongs to a Muslim.

• Police should seek to avoid looking at unclad Muslim women and allow them an opportunity to dress and cover their heads.

Yes, when raiding the home of terror suspects try not to look at them. Let them enter a room alone and put some clothes on. It's okay to see nude/nearly nude suspects of any other creed but not Muslims. They are special and we must have separate rules for them, distinct from all other British citizens.

• For reasons of dignity officers should seek to avoid entering occupied bedrooms and bathrooms even before dawn.

So, you're raiding the home of a Muslim terror suspect and someone happens to be in a bedroom in this pre-dawn raid. You are officially told to try and avoid entering- while you hesitate, perhaps knocking the door- the terrorist inside detonates the bombs he's been making and kills everyone in the building. BOOM.

• Use of police dogs will be considered serious desecration of the premises and may necessitate extensive cleaning of the house and disposal of household items.

So, try not to find the hidden explosives (or drugs) or traces of explosives, using a time-tested technique. Ignore that ticking sound.

• Advice should be sought before considering the use of cameras and camcorders due to the risk of capturing individuals, especially women, in inappropriate dress.

That's right- don't film the raid so that the suspects can claim whatever they want when this gets to court. God forbid you might see someone in a nightie.

• Muslim prisoners should be allowed to take additional clothing to the station.

Why exactly?

• If people are praying at home officers should stand aside and not disrupt the prayer. They should be allowed the opportunity to finish.

You raid a home and find a man kneeling prostrate on the floor. Ah, you think, he's praying, better let the chap finish his....BOOM.
Yeah, that's a good idea, try not to disturb the dangerous terrorist/would-be suicide bomber.

• Officers should not take shoes into the houses, especially in areas that might be kept pure for prayer purposes.

A fast-moving raid through a house is brought to a complete standstill while cops pause to remove their shoes. BOOM.
Or terrorists get wise to the fact that sock-wearing cops might race through their bomb factory and scatter broken glass across the floor to slow 'em down. Again, BOOM.

• In the current climate the justification for pre-dawn raids on Muslim houses needs to be clear and transparent.

Yeah, don't dare to raid the home of suspected terrorists when they are at their most vulnerable because Muslims have special pre-dawn needs. Wait until they might be up and about and possibly close to bombs/guns. Officer safety? Oh no, Bedfordshire police don't worry about the safety of officers or the neighbours of terror suspects- not when a Muslim terror suspect might be seen in his jim-jams.

• Non-Muslims are not allowed to touch holy books, Qurans or religious artefacts without permission. Where possible, Muslim officers in a state of 'Wudhu' (preparation before prayer) should be used for this purpose.

Don't want to desecrate any items simply because you're an unclean kafir.

Wonder what the rest of the guidelines say?
