British leaders must stay up at night thinking of new ways that they can cater to Islam. Just the other day I posted that Muslims in the UK might get their own police division. Now non-Muslim female officers in two UK counties will be forced to wear headscarves upon entering a Mosque. I can't wait to see what they come up with next.

Weren’t women required to wear head coverings in Catholic churches at one time?
Wow. This is the limit. Im waiting to see if any female British cops are just going to flat out say NO. That this is DISCRIMINATION, and that it violates their freedom as women.
>> Weren’t women required to wear head coverings in Catholic churches at one time? <<
That was the PAST, we live in the NOW, islam is still stuck in the PAST
What is next, Police women and service personnel having to put burquas on when entering an islamic neighborhood?
Is it part of their uniform? If not, tell them to “stuff it.”
What has that got to do with it?!
Who "required" women to wear head coverings in Catholic churches? The government?! No!
This is about the government ordering female police officers to wear veils when entering, on official business, mosques.
Regards,
This is an affront to the freedom of those female officers.
How long ago was that? Everyone has to live in the past, before they get to the present, don’t they? Things take time.
Show you really care by bring koran printed pork rinds too!
“Weren’t women required to wear head coverings in Catholic churches at one time?”
I don’t know if they still do, but if they do then the female cops should be made to respect that as well.
And also the police should be required to kneel and do the sign of the cross after entering the church.
Isn’t the reason for the head covering the same? the police officers are govt employees, aren’t they? I would think that the police dept has the right to enforce their dress codes. Dress codes which are probably designed to reflect certain customs in certain situations.
I’ve haven’t observed the kneeling upon entering church. That must not be done everywhere.
Don’t bother with stuartcr. He only comes into these threads to stand up for the actions of Muslims in them. Then when you ask why is standing up for them, he says he is not. He also says that there are people here who say that ALL Muslims are terrorists. But when called on that, he cannot provide any evidence. He just wants attention.
I ‘get’ the point but.. I DON’T want someone making such a gesture (sign of the cross) if it is not their belief. That to me would be sacrilegious.

It was not, now it is part of it.
There are two versions of the head coverings, to match the black of a police officer’s uniform and the blue of the Police Community Support Officer uniforms.
