Oklahoma Police Captain Faces Disciplinary Action for Refusing to Attend Islamic Event foxnews.com excerpt: The Tulsa Police Department is investigating a captain who refused an order to assign officers to attend an upcoming Islamic event because he said it would violate his religious beliefs. Capt. Paul Fields was reassigned after he refused to order officers under his command to attend the Islamic Center of Tulsa’s Law Enforcement Appreciation Day, a spokesman for the department said. “It is my opinion and that of my legal counsel that forcing me to enter a Mosque when it is not directly related to a police call for service is a violation of my Civil Rights,” Fields wrote in an internal police department memo obtained by Fox News. “I have no problem with officers attending on a voluntary basis; however, I take exception to requiring officers to attend this event,” Fields wrote in an e-mail to his superior officer obtained by Fox News. “I believe this directive to be an unlawful order, as it is in direct conflict with my personal religious convictions.” [...] However, according to a promotional flyer, the Islamic event included not just food and entertainment, but “presentations” on “beliefs, human rights, and women.” They would also be able to watch a Muslim prayer service and take a tour of the mosque. [...] Ibrahim Hooper, the spokesman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations, called the incident an example of “anti-Muslim bigotry.” [...] “When somebody feels empowered to say ‘I’m not going to take part in a community outreach event at a mosque because I basically don’t like Muslims,’ it’s all part of that rise in Islamophobia in our society,” he said. --- Damn this!!! It's not nearly enough that the government is forcing Anglos to fund their own extermination, now, they are forcing Anglos to celebrate the religion and lifestyle of those that the government is exterminating us in favor of; rubbing our noses in it, as it were. What do you think would be said if Muslims on the police force were directed and required to attend a Christian picnic that served pork and said a prayer to Jesus before the meal? There would be wails of "discrimination" and "civil rights violations" from every element on the Left.
