UK: Police to avoid Ramadan arrests
BBC News ^ | October 21 2006

Posted on 10/21/2006 7:50:49 AM PDT by knighthawk

Police in Manchester have been told not to arrest Muslims wanted on warrants at prayer times during Ramadan.

Greater Manchester Police confirmed it had asked detectives not to make planned arrests during those periods for reasons of religious sensitivity.

The advice was emailed out to officers working in Moss Side, Hulme, Whalley Range, Rusholme, Fallowfield, Ardwick, Longsight, Gorton and Levenshulme.

Police said it was not a blanket ban, just a "request for sensitivity".

The email stressed the order did not apply to on-the-spot arrests, only the execution of arrest warrants.

The holy month of Ramadan began on 22 September and is due to end with the festival of Eid-ul-Fitr next week.

The internal email was sent to staff listing the prayer times, but confusion arose and a second memo was sent clarifying it was not a total ban on arresting Muslims at these times.

A GMP statement said: "The primary objective of Greater Manchester Police is to fight crime and protect people.

"The month of Ramadan is an important time of the year for members of the Muslim community throughout the world.

"It is important that normal, planned policing activities and operations are maintained, while ensuring that officers are professional and respectful to members of the community while going about their duties."

Nevermind that's when most of the attacks take place... as well as the meeting up of those planning attacks.

Amazing how wimpy the country of Winston Churchill has become. In a lot of ways they seem quicker to surrender to the muslims in their midst than then French do. If they don't wake up soon, their country as we know it will be dead.

What, they get a "murder the infidel but go free" card for a month during Ramadan? Do the UK cops stop arresting Christians at Christmas and Easter? The Brits are building their own coffins over there.

Christian believers are believers 24/7. Every moment in life is an important time through faith in Christ. Does that mean the Brits won;t serve warrants on Christians?

Damn these leftists! They give in every time to the radical jihadists who want to kill them and us.
England is lost.
They have turned their country over to the jihadists and are asking for their own demise.

No, "moderate" Christians don't riot and murder or even demonstrate when another Christian is justifiably arrested.

Multiculturalism does nothing but give extra rights or privileges to groups that don't deserve them and breed resentment, in this case by the arresting police, towards these groups.

Welcome to the ranks of the Dhimmi, limeys. Get your cross of iron and your thirty silver pieces.

And the multi-cultis can't wait for it to annihilate the American way of life, too.
