Minnesota: St. Paul Police Dept bows down, approves police-issued hijab

In Somali culture, women don’t strive to become police officers, Kadra Mohamed said.

On Saturday morning, Mohamed was recognized as the first Somali-American woman to join the St. Paul Police Department, a move made possible by the department’s announcement that it has approved an option for employees to wear a police-issued hijab.

“It’s nerve-wracking in a way,” Mohamed, 21, said of being the first woman of Somali descent in the department. “I want to be a good role model for others, especially Somali women.”

Mohamed was recognized at the police’s Western District building during a graduation ceremony for youth who recently completed the East African Junior Police Academy.

Police Chief Thomas Smith said St. Paul joins at least one other department — in Washington, D.C. — as the only departments in the U.S. to allow the hijab, a head scarf worn in public by some Muslim women.

I saw the picture. You know... this really doesn’t bother me.

Another nail in our coffin. If I lived in St. Paul I would get the hell out right now.

I bet they would let Amish (as if they would be a policeman anyway) drive a police buggy.

Kowtowing to Sharia, what a disgrace. Camels nose under the tent.

[Chode]

there is nothing in their book of lies that requires their cows to wear a rag on their head, nothing...

It is and history has shown that everyone who did that, lived to regret it. The knife being drawn across their throat was usually the last thing they felt. Also, anyone who knows anything about muslims know that if you allow the muslim camel to get his nose under your tent, it is not long before the entire muslim camel is there. Then things go south.

She may be wearing a hijab, but she is also wearing men’s clothing (pants)so many in the Muslim world would see her as a harlot and deserving of death by stoning. Will her religious sensibilities allow her to work with K-9 units or to respond to crimes at liquor stores?

I wonder if they would allow a Catholic to wear a crucifix on her uniform.

[Secret Agent Man]

then you don’t really understand what they’re doing by these kinds of demands.

That's nice. Does this bother you?

Minnesota: YMCA and St. Paul Police Dept organize sharia swim time for Muslims

To better accommodate girls like Dhamuke, the downtown St. Paul YMCA, in partnership with the St. Paul Police Department, has started a swim group for Somali-American girls................During the hourlong swim practice, all other swimmers are cleared out of the pool. The men’s locker room is locked. Female life guards are brought in. The pool, which is on the building’s third floor, has no windows so they don’t have to worry about prying eyes from outside.

St. Paul Police Chief Tom Smith had discussions with Britts to let the Y know that, through the department’s connections with the Somali-American community, they had learned that such a group was needed.........

Funding for the group comes from two metrowide water safety grants from Hawkins Inc. and Abbey’s Hope Charitable Foundation. The police department helps provide transportation for the girls to the YMCA.

As the author of that piece notes:

Taxpayers now pay St. Paul cops to taxi Muslims to sharia-compliant swim classes. It’s creeping along in many cities .

As a matter of fact.... YES, that does bother me.

Reasonable accommodations are.... reasonable. Such as the case with this new cop. Clearing out other citizens from a public pool so that Muslims can swim w/o being seen by others is NOT a reasonable accommodation - that is abject surrender to the dictates of a particular religion. AFAIC, I wouldn’t like it any better or worse than the Catholic Church getting a city to require that everybody got to confession.

Just one more thing a drunk can hold onto while fighting her.
Stupid mooslims.

Somali-American.... good grief.

Pick one, sweetheart...you’re either Somali or you’re an American.
