West Midlands Police; Institutionally Sectarian ?

Looks that way. Its Assistant Chief Constable Anil Patani called for the prosecution of the makers of the Channel Four Documentary Undercover Mosque accusing them of splicing together excerpts from longer sermons in such a way that they were grossly misrepresented. Now that Ofcom has found that no such faking occurred and that criminal views and exhortations were expressed as revealed by the documentary, where does that leave us ? With a police force that has actively sought in the name of social cohesion to appease some of the most appalling of Islam's Saudi funded monomaniacs. Lets recall some of the things that were said;

" Take the homosexual and throw him off the mountain"
" Whoever changes his religion from Islam to anything else-kill him"
"By the age of 10, it becomes an obligation on us to force young girls to wear the hijab, if she doesent- hit her"

The National Secular Society is calling for an inquiry into the behaviour of the West Midlands Police. Excellent. The Force should also be pressed to prosecute the subjects of the documentary. As there has been no action in this direction, it seems clear that if the good name of this Force is to be restored drastic measures need to be taken. A good start would be a root and branch clear out of those officers who because of their personal faith are unable to properly fulfil their duty of protection of the community at large under the law of the land. This problem with sectarian officers should also be investigated in other forces as a matter of urgency. There are, as another example, too many reports of Asian women abuse victims not always getting from Asian officers the support that is their right.
