How is the Muslim policewoman going to arrest a violent male criminal?

Answer 1

by using her veil as a lassoo

Answer 2

The same way she has been trained to make arrests!

This question reminds me of vicious attacks on women during the eighties when the NYC Fire Department made a decision to hire women firefighters. The same kind of attackers, now wearing the religious veil, is attacking Muslim police women!

Answer 3

I dont understand the problem...just like any other female policewoman would handle the violent male criminal..

Answer 4

ok, if you want a serious answer then we all gotta stop being stupid.

The police officer in question only refused to shake the cops hand because it was a parading ceremony, some muslim women do choose not to shake hands in such contexts. obviously when she has a job to do, like arresting a male mugger she will do it. same with muslim doctors/nurses and other professionals.

lets stop being silly and acknowledge our diversity and appreciate that we actually have muslim Police women in our forces!!

It's plain old common sense...think of the context first, if it was to prevent a crime or save a life then of course she would be required to act. this fiasco with the commisioner was just a ceremony of pure symbolic value..it really means nothing.

BTW: this story was just another reason to get muslims in the press again, all for negative purposes.

Answer 5

The Muslim policewoman should be asked to answer this question and if she can not give a satisfactory answer she should be made to resign.

Answer 6

By spraying a whole can of CS gas in his face, then watching him "fall down the stairs" repeatedly, same as any other copper does it. Or applying a painful arm lock... Although police unarmed training is laughable- we get some coppers turning up to train with us sometimes and they just get flabberghasted by the most basic techniques.

Muslim policewoman fans debate in U.K.
By Tariq Panja, Associated Press Officer | January 21, 2007

LONDON --Police said Sunday that a Muslim woman officer had refused to shake hands with London's police chief during a graduation ceremony last month due to her religious beliefs, fanning a debate in Britain over the assimilation of Muslims into society.
Sign up for: Globe Headlines e-mail | Breaking News Alerts The woman -- whose identity was not revealed -- asked to be excused from the customary handshake with Metropolitan Police Commissioner Ian Blair during the ceremony, saying her faith prohibited her from touching a man other than her husband or a close relative.

Blair immediately questioned the validity of her request, said a Metropolitan Police spokeswoman, speaking on condition of anonymity in keeping with force policy.

"Ordinarily the (police force) would not tolerate such requests. This request was only granted ... to ensure the smooth running of what is one of the most important events in an officer's career," the spokeswoman said.

She said the incident was still being looked into by the force, but she declined to say whether the officer could face punishment.

The handshake refusal follows a string of highly publicized incidents involving the traditional headscarf worn by Muslim women.

In October, former Foreign Secretary Jack Straw, now leader of the House of Commons, said he routinely asked Muslim women visiting his office to remove their veils. A Muslim teaching assistant in northern England was then fired from her job for refusing to remove a black veil that left only her eyes visible. A Muslim lawyer also refused a judge's orders to remove her veil during a hearing.

Prime Minister Tony Blair eventually jumped into the debate, saying the full-face veil is "a mark of separation" and urging all immigrants to integrate into British society.

Muslim groups defended the police officer who refused to shake the commissioner's hand, saying her beliefs would not affect how she carried out her job and calling for greater understanding of different cultures.

Massoud Shadjareh, chairman of the London-based Islamic Human Rights Commission, said the "overwhelming majority" of practicing Muslims avoid physical contact with members of the opposite sex unless they are closely related. But he added that those employed as police officers or doctors are routinely exempt from the rule in order to fulfill their duties.

SHE MUST BE FIRED

Answer 8

i would like to point out that there are different levels of observance in ALL religions. thus a muslim woman who was a strict follower of all the rules wouldn't be having a job out of the home, but one that is more relaxed about the rules of her faith would have no more problem arresting a violent man than any other woman.
how many catholics do you know that have sex out of wedlock, use birth control, don't go to confession, etc.? how many Jews do you know that don't follow kosher rules, or eat pork?
the levels of observance in any religion are personal choice and to pick out a muslim woman for ridicule is juvenile and repulsive.

Answer 9

If she is a very strong and devout Muslim she would not be in the police any way, as would any other very religious person, it would be too difficult to remain neutral if she had a strong religious believe, as for apprehending in a normal way, She could give him a clout with her truncheon and discuss the rest at the station.

Answer 10

your question is wrong. First of all muslim policewoman is employed only in muslim countries for female criminals and she is not going to arrest a male criminal
if you are talking about other than a muslim country if she is pious she will not apply for such post.

Answer 11

Is she is a police woman whether she is a Muslim, Hindu or Christian it doesn't matter because she is a trained officer in all types of martial arts.
