Islam for Today report that The Metropolitan Police in London has accepted Hijab as a uniform option for Muslim women serving in the force. The announcement was made at a conference on the theme of “Protect and Respect: Everybody’s Benefit”.Two models Shahnaz Shashudin and Syria Hussain are modelling the hijab uniform for women police constables in the Met. Muslim policewomen will now be allowed to wear a headscarf and the ankle length gown. Muslim police officers will now be allowed to pray on duty, demand halal food and have altered meal schedules during Ramadan.
Nur al-Cubicle found this, but curiously this has not been reported in any Google monitored news media.
I found it at the French blog, Mille et Un Jours.

Umm, sorry for asking, but just what major religion is tolerant?
ReplyDeletei think this is ridiculous, everyone else has to conform to the uniform regulations, this country is too scared to say no because everyone always plays the race card.
