POLICE have been told they must show respect by taking their SHOES OFF before raiding the homes of Muslim terror suspects.
It was one of 18 rules laid down in new guidelines for officers in Luton — a hotbed of Islamic fundamentalism.
This is being reported in The Sun (a British tabloid) so take it with a grain of salt. But still, given some of the other outrageously over-P.C. rules and regulations we've seen in recent years, I can't say I'd be entirely surprised if this were true.
Update:
According to the Daily Mail the above lunacy is true, along with these other guidelines:
Leaked guidelines from the Bedfordshire force say that when officers raid Muslim homes they should remove their shoes, not use dogs and not mount pre-dawn raids because at that hour people might by 'spiritually busy'.
When two July 21 terror suspects were arrested last Friday in Notting Hill, the reaction of one of them when told to strip to his underpants? 'I have rights.'
It is less than a month since Islamist terrorists murdered 52 innocent people and yet still the forces of law and order find themselves having to walk on eggshells as they confront this deadly threat.
Absolutely insane.
