As the Sunday Telegraph reported:<BR/><BR/> <I> Police are to alert Muslim community leaders about anti-terrorism raids against suspected Islamic terrorists in future… Outlining the reasoning behind the proposed plans, Rob Beckley, the head of faith and counter-terrorism for Acpo [Association of Chief Police Officers], said: ‘Muslims do not trust our operations at the moment. They do not wholly believe we are trying to root out Islamic extremists. To combat this, we will tell community leaders, who have been vetted by the security services, details of our operations before they take place. This will be adopted nationwide in an effort to build bridges and to help us do our job better.’ Mr Beckley said that community leaders could be briefed about police action weeks in advance of the raids taking place.</I><BR/><BR/>The police are prone to make a (dangerously false) comparison between the Islamic jihad and the IRA. But can anyone imagine the British Army or the Royal Ulster Constabulary, when the IRA terror campaign was at its height, making known to the Catholic or Protestant communities plans to conduct raids within those communities, and the intelligence on which it was based, before they took place? Can one imagine any police force doing such a thing anywhere in the world? What this policy implies is that Britain now has a two million-strong no-go area for the police labelled The Muslim Community, subject to quite different rules of engagement from everyone else because it is calling the shots. Step by shameful step, the police are being led by the nose into repudiating their role as our front line of defence against terrorism. Britain has simply taken leave of its senses."truepeershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16401984575637492845noreply@blogger.com
