Sniffer dogs to wear ‘Muslim’ bootees

Police sniffer dogs will have to wear bootees when searching the homes of Muslims so as not to cause offence.

Guidelines being drawn up by the Association of Chief Police Officers (Acpo) urge awareness of religious sensitivities when using dogs to search for drugs and explosives. The guidelines, to be published this year, were designed to cover mosques but have been extended to include other buildings.

Where Muslims object, officers will be obliged to use sniffer dogs only in exceptional cases. Where dogs are used, they will have to wear bootees with rubber soles. “We are trying to ensure that police forces are aware of sensitivities that people can have with the dogs to make sure they are not going against any religious or cultural element within people’s homes. It is being addressed and forces are working towards doing it,” Acpo said.

Problems faced by the use of sniffer dogs were highlighted last week when Tayside police were forced to apologise for a crime prevention poster featuring a german shepherd puppy, in response to a complaint by a Muslim councillor.

Islamic injunctions warn Muslims against contact with dogs, which are regarded as “unclean”.

They “are trying to ensure” that noone gets sniffed except people who are least likely to blow themselves and something else up.

The “behind the scenes” truth of the matter is the dogs insisted upon having their paws protected before entering a moslem residence. The dogs consider muslims “unclean.”

Emasculated British Officer: "Do you expect me to look for explosives and weapons?"

Moslem Overlord: " No. Dhimmi. We expect you and your family to die."

Retrain some truffle-sniffing pigs just for them.

I find muzzies unclean, yet I am forced to come into contact with their filthy presence. I want them gone. I want an apology from the authorities who allowed the filth to permeate my country.

LOL!

Kind of ironic.. having to be super sensitive to suspected terrorists.

Unless there are no men left in western civilization, at some point there will be a backlash and retribution against the muzzies and the continued outrages, that may dwarf the holocaust. You can defile folks just so much before you will pay the price.

Still waiting over here for the moderate Muslims to come out and tell us that this latest phobia is nutjob stuff - not “real Islam.”

Waiting.......

Hey you f...ing muzzies I’ll show you unclean...

[oldenuff2no]

Why would any civilized person care what offends muslims? The rest of us moved on from the 6th century and are just fine with the modern world.
The islamic world will never be satisfied with anything you do for them except allowing them to run the world. So why try and please them at all??
We learned all we need to know about islam on 9/11. The taught the world on that day exactly who they are, liars and murderers. I actually value the life of my dogs more than that of the entire muslim population. My dogs are much more honest and don't try and bite me in the back when I'm not looking.

The dogs consider muslims “unclean.”

I'll never think Dumb Dog again.

If Obama is elected I wonder if the White House dog will wear those too?

[TommyDale]

Oh, for Pete’s sake!!

The UK is appeasing more by the day. Even Chamberlin himself would blush. They might as well just impose sharia law now and save everyone some trouble. We know that they’ll be under it eventually anyway. Probably within my lifetime.

POst of the week if not the year, ROTFLMAO!!
