UK Police turn blind eye to crimes by Muslims

London, July 11 : In a bid to stop Muslim extremists from becoming more militant, the UK Government is set to issue a guideline for police, directing them not to charge them in many hate crime cases, a move that has created outrage amongst critics.

Guidelines will tell forces to press for conviction only in cases of clear-cut criminal acts, and refrain from proceeding when evidence of lawbreaking is 'borderline.'

Officers will be advised to turn a blind eye on crimes such as incitement to religious hatred or viewing extremist material on the Internet.

'For instance, where there has been incitement or someone has been on the internet there can be a grey area where there is some discretion and it would be more sensible to avoid going down the criminal route,' the Daily Express quoted a White Hall source, as saying

Critics, however, saw the move as a politically correct attempt to appease extremists who hate Britain, and warned that the move could mean Islamic radicals being give the freedom to encourage violence.

'This sounds like abject surrender. Everyone should be equal in the eyes of the law. They should all face the same risk of prosecution. There should be no special favours or treatment for any section of the community,' Tory MP David Davies said.

The move follows an updated Home Office counter-terrorism strategy announced earlier this year.

A Home Office spokesman said: 'Preventing people becoming radicalised is a key priority for the Government. The police response needs to be proportionate to deal with crimes people commit while reducing the risk to public safety.'

The new strategy is likely to reduce the likelihood of prosecutions against Islamist extremists protesting against troops.

These people need to be given special treatment to avoid potential violence? your thoughts?

that makes me so glad I don't live in that ass backwards country. Nothing scarier than the idea of your own government, the powers in place to keep the people safe, decide to cower like a bunch of scared little maggots instead of cracking down on them.

Later on, when there is a Jihadist army in the UK, there will be hell to pay.

got a link to anything I've actually heard of? Quick look at the BBC and I don't see anything. Hell jsut glance dat the Daily hate mail which LOVES this sort of story and can't see a damned thing.

So another link would be appreciated to actually confirm the sotry otherwise I'm calling shenanigans.

So from reading the MSN link it seems that what is actually being done is saying ' Were not going to prosecute unless we're 100% sure.

Oh no, the police will not be arresting and prosecuting thigns which are not illegal such as viewing extremeist websites which is protected under Freedom of Speech in the Human rights bill.

This is bad how exactly? That's what the fucking police should be doing in the first place...

You're right ... lets ignore Mosques selling extremist videos and literature, that'll stop the local muslim community getting pissed off ... While we're on it, lets not bother flagging muslims that have just recently returned from Pakistan with luggage full of bomb making information, extremist material ... that might imply the police are been 'biased'. lets not force muslims to go through metal detectors or x-ray their baggage while entering sensitive areas ... because doing that will imply we think their terrorists ...

You're being a bit of a drama queen. The cautionary approach is to be used *only* in situations where there is a grey area and the illegality of the actions is in question. You know, where there's a chance that they may not be breaking the law.

Cause, shockingly, possession of extremeist literature and knowing how to make a bomb isnt illegal. If it is, * gasp* I'd actually be in jail right now as I've got extremeist literature from a number of faiths and imformation on how to make bombs and the like in my house.

I've got bomb making information and extremist material. What gives anyone the right to check your bags based purely on your racial background or religious heritage?

The one crime the UK police really turned a blind eye to is where on person, sat on a train at Stockwell tube station, was killed execution-style with 11 point blank shots to the face with hollow point bullets.

Then again, it was the Metropolitan Police doing it, so...
