Britain - Police to raid Muslim homes in socks

This has got to be a joke.

POLICE have been told they must show respect by taking their SHOES OFF before raiding the homes of Muslim terror suspects.

It was one of 18 rules laid down in new guidelines for officers in Luton — a hotbed of Islamic fundamentalism.

No word if the Muslim terrorists will take off their bombs in a return gesture.

UPDATE

Not only is it not a joke, it's worse!

Ian Johnston, the Chief Constable of the British Transport Police, is taken to task by the human rights lobby when he says his officers won't be wasting time searching 'little old white ladies' on the Tube.

Leaked guidelines from the Bedfordshire force say that when officers raid Muslim homes they should remove their shoes, not use dogs and not mount pre-dawn raids because at that hour people might by 'spiritually busy'.

When two July 21 terror suspects were arrested last Friday in Notting Hill, the reaction of one of them when told to strip to his underpants? 'I have rights.'

It is less than a month since Islamist terrorists murdered 52 innocent people and yet still the forces of law and order find themselves having to walk on eggshells as they confront this deadly threat.

Why? The overwhelming majority of peaceable, law-abiding Muslims are as anxious as anyone else to see the threat of terrorism expunged. After all, Muslims were among the victims of the July 7 bombings, too.

Of course, in European countries with far bigger Muslim populations than ours, there is less hand-wringing as they confront Islamist hard-liners - witness the speed with which both France and Germany deport rabble-rousing imams.

When five British Sikhs on holiday in New York were handcuffed and detained during a terrorism scare last week, their reaction afterwards? 'No hard feelings.'

Isn't that the kind of stoicism we should all try to emulate in the tense days ahead when people's rights are inevitably going to get a little bruised?

What kind of bulls**t is this? Presumedly the police are raiding these houses because they have specific terrorist information about the occupants and the police want to be nice to them?

On top of that, after one of the London Muslim terrorist made it out of Britain to France, the government is still pondering "if" they should reintroduce passport checks at the channel tunnel.

No wonder Britain is losing the war.
