The hijab has become an optional part of the Police Scotland
uniform as the force works to encourage Muslim women to join the
service.
Previously, officers could wear the religious headscarf with
approval but it is now formally part of the force uniform.
Police Scotland said it is working to make the force
“representative of the communities we serve.”
The formal announcement was welcomed by the Scottish Police
Muslim Association (SPMA), an organisation set up in 2010 to build
closer ties with Muslim communities.

Chief Constable Phil Gormley said: “I am delighted to make this
announcement and welcome the support from both the Muslim
community, and the wider community, as well as police officers and
staff.
“Like many other employers, especially in the public sector, we
are working towards ensuring our service is representative of the
communities we serve.
“I hope that this addition to our uniform options will
contribute to making our staff mix more diverse and adds to the
life skills, experiences and personal qualities that our officers
and staff bring to policing the communities of Scotland.”
A report to the Scottish Police Authority earlier this year
showed there were 4,809 applications to join Police Scotland in
2015/16, of which 127 (2.6%) were from ethnic backgrounds.
It read: “Based on these figures, it is clear to see that
challenge Police Scotland faces. If the black and minority ethnic
groups (BME) national average of 4% is to be met within the
organisation, an additional 650 BME recruits are required across
all areas of the business.
“Considering current application trends, this would appear to be
unachievable.”
The Metropolitan Police in London approved the hijab as part of
its uniform more than a decade ago.
SPMA chair Fahad Bashir said: “This is a positive step in the
right direction, and I am delighted that Police Scotland is taking
productive steps in order to ensure that our organisation is seen
to be inclusive and represents the diverse communities that we
serve across Scotland.
“No doubt this will encourage more women from Muslim and
minority ethnic backgrounds to join Police Scotland.”
A
police force could become the first in the country to allow
officers to wear the full-face veil after it launched a recruitment
drive to increase diversity.
West Midlands Police said it has “no barriers” relating to the
burka as they announced that they would discuss allowing the
traditional Islamic dress to become part of a policewoman’s
uniform.

Chief Constable David Thompson said he would look into employing
officers who wear the burka if the issue arose, as the force tries
to increase the percentage of black and minority ethnic (BME)
officers in the region to 30 per cent.
The move was last night criticised by MPs, including David
Davies, who worked as a police officer in London for nine years and
told the Telegraph he is “horrified” by the suggestion.
The hijab – which does not cover the face – has been approved as
uniform by the Metropolitan Police and Police Scotland, but it is believed West
Midlands is the first force to consider allowing officers to wear
full-face burkas or niqabs.
East London is gradually becoming another
Afghanistan
On February 1, 2013, CNN released a documentary showing
radical Muslims trying to impose Sharia law in East London. It
showed, a group of radical Muslims patrolling on streets to enforce
Sharia rule. Members of this group targeted sex workers, people
drinking alcohol, couples who were holding hands, women whom they
considered to be dressed immodestly, and harassed others whom they
perceived as being gay. Earlier in January 2013, as part of an
investigation into the gang, five men were arrested and in December
three of them pleaded guilty to affray and were subsequently
jailed.
One video uploaded to YouTube by the gang, “The Truth
About Saturday Night”, was viewed more than 42,000 times. In it,
the gang confronted people, shouting “this is a Muslim area” at
them. The hooded men are seen forcing people to empty their
alcoholic drinks down drains, and instructing a group of women that
“they need to forbid themselves from dressing like this and
exposing themselves outside the mosque”.
A second video, beginning with a logo saying “Islam will take
over the world”, showed the gang
shouting homophobic abuse at a man walking
in Whitechapel. The gang shouted at a man who appeared to
be wearing make-up that he is “in a Muslim area dressed
like a fag” and must leave. One gang member orders the man:
“Get out of here quicker. You are dirty mate”.
After the victim says that he is a homosexual, he is repeatedly
prompted to say that he is “dirty”.
Their last video featured the gang saying: “We are coming to
implement Islam upon your own necks. Muslim patrols can never be
stopped”.
The arrested patrollers were members of The Shariah Project. The
organization’s co-founder, Abu Rumaysah, told the press the
arrested men would be welcomed back despite their convictions at
the Central Criminal Court. An East London Mosque
official, speaking of the patrols, identified The Shariah Project
as “strongly linked” to Anjem Choudary’s
group Al-Muhajiroun. Several media reports have since
identified the Sharia patrols as part of a network of followers of
Anjem Choudary.
Did the patrolling stop?
The unfortunate reply is negative. Instead, for past few years,
each of the families in already Islamized East London are watched
by a group of radical Muslims, who would immediate warn the head of
the families once any of the female members are found wearing
“indecent” attire or would be subject of bullying for not putting
on hijab and burqa. Fearing such social wrath, most of the females
in East London possess burqa or at least hijab and ultimately have
accepted the practice as customary for living inside that heavily
Islamized area in London.
Even despite the imprisonment of Sharia patrol gang in December
2013, Lama Hasan of ABC News and Alex Miller of Vice News had
produced two documentaries in 2014 about the ongoing Sharia
Patrols.

East London’s ‘Tower Hamlet’ has become the headquarters of
promoting radical Islam and Sharia and British police are even
afraid of going inside this area. Let us not forget, most of
London’s finance industry currently are controlled by Sharia.
On August 29, 2018 Andy Ngo in his report titled ‘A visit to
Islamic England’ wrote, “…Next I visited Leyton, another district
in East London where some Muslim social norms prevail. An Arab cafe
near the Tube station was filled with men; no women were inside. An
Islamic bookstore sold hijab-wearing dolls for children. The dolls
had blank, featureless faces since human depictions are prohibited
in conservative Islam”.
Then Andy wrote, “Within minutes, we walked by three other
mosques, which were vibrant and filled with young men coming and
going. We passed a church, which was closed and decrepit, with a
window that had been vandalized with eggs. We squeezed by hundreds
of residents busy preparing for the Eid al-Adha holiday. Girls in
hijabs gathered around tables to paint henna designs on their
hands. All the businesses had a religious flair: The eateries were
halal, the fitness center was sex-segregated, and the boutiques
displayed “modest” outfits on mannequins. Pakistani flags flew high
and proud. I never saw a Union Jack”.
Has London already fallen to Islam?
Most of the Muslim media would answer this question in negative
as they are not satisfied seeing only East London had already
turned into another Afghanistan. They want more … in fact the whole
of London at least now and Britain in the near future. Their
ambitions are not mere wild as some of the Arab nations such as
Qatar are sending at least 300-500 million pounds from the zakat
[Islamic charity] fund to British Muslim community for further
spread of radical Islam as well for buying the British media in
favor of Sharia.
