Met orders review after Muslim refuses to guard Israeli embassy Fred Attewill Thursday October 5, 2006 The Guardian Sir Ian Blair, the Metropolitan police commissioner, last night ordered an urgent review of a policy that allows officers to refuse certain duties on moral grounds after a decision to excuse a Muslim policeman from guarding the Israeli embassy. PC Alexander Omar Basha, who is attached to the force's Diplomatic Protection Group, objected to being posted to protect Israel's embassy in central London from possible terrorist attack because he disagreed with the country's bombing of Lebanon. The officer had reportedly attended a recent anti-war protest. A spokesman for Scotland Yard said Sir Ian had ordered a rethink of the service's policy to consider special dispensations on moral grounds. "Having learned of this issue I have asked for an urgent review of the situation and a full report into the circumstances," he said. A Met spokesman earlier said allowances were occasionally granted to officers who objected to duties on moral grounds. "In terms of the general protocol for officers requesting to be moved for any reason we'd say that on occasions, for a variety of reasons, an officer may have to be moved within a specific command," the spokesman said. "Each case is considered separately, balancing the needs of the Metropolitan police service against those of the individual and the role which they will have to perform." The case has provoked unease from those who worry that officers may be able to start picking and choosing their duties. John O'Connor, a former Flying Squad commander, told today's Sun: "This is the beginning of the end for British policing. If they can allow this, surely they'll have to accept a Jewish officer not wanting to work at an Islamic national embassy? Will Catholic cops be let off working at Protestant churches. Where will it end?" ------------------------------------------------- You see how he now 'refused' to work there even though he ASKED to be 'excused'

tick-tock tick-tock tick-tock

Its an 'opportunity'. An opportunity to beat the drums in the usual sensationalist ways only the British Media know.

Things are certainly taking shape

Inquiry into embassy police row An inquiry has been ordered by Met Police chief Sir Ian Blair after a Muslim constable was excused from guarding the Israeli embassy in London. Sir Ian says he wants an "urgent review of the situation and a full report". The Sun newspaper said the officer was reassigned on "moral grounds" as he objected to Israeli actions in Lebanon. But the Association of Muslim Police Officers said it was a "welfare issue" - the officer had Middle Eastern relatives and felt unsafe in that role. The officer, who has been named as Pc Alexander Omar Basha, is attached to the Scotland Yard's Diplomatic Protection Group. He has a Syrian father and a Lebanese wife. During the summer, when Israel was involved in a month-long conflict with Lebanese militants, Pc Basha asked to be moved from the Israeli embassy because he felt uncomfortable and unsafe. Now the conflict is over, the Association of Muslim Police Officers - which is speaking on his behalf - said he was happy to return to protecting the Israel embassy if he was asked to. Oath of allegiance Supt Dal Babu, from the association, said the officer's reassignment had nothing to do with religion or politics. "This is an issue around the welfare of a particular officer," he said. "The officer is from the Middle East. He has relatives [who] are Muslims and Christians and for welfare reasons he's asked to be posted elsewhere for a short period of time." A Scotland Yard spokesman said they would sometimes consider a special request to be moved on moral grounds - but added they reserved the right to post an officer anywhere. The Metropolitan Police Authority, which oversees the force's work, pointed out that police officers took an oath of allegiance. The authority, which has also asked for a report, said officers often had to undertake duties where the subject conflicted with their personal beliefs.

It was a tribal invasion in every sense of the word. But it was that the tribe in particular has no claim to Kismaayo and can never dream of capturing the city as a clan but found a very convienent excuse in the new Islamic movement in our homeland and was able to a degree divide their opponents themselves into the "misled religious" vs. "the aware". Hiiraale himself peacefully and temporarily left the city to avoid spilling his own clan's blood for the objectives of another. Time was needed to clear the misunderstandings and that time is now. In short, it is not will Barre be back, but when HA Now why would i be offended? So you believe that it had a clannish agenda and not one of controlling the south from possible deployment of AU troops with the added notion of Kismaayo being ruled by someone who serves the interests of the TFG (the opposition)? What are the aims of the ICU with regard Kismaayo? Do they not emphasise ‘self rule’ by the clan(s) that reside there and other areas of Somalia? Sorry to burden with so many questions this early in the day

^^Its a no win situation saxib, Somalis will always find something (no matter how much of is true or false) to knock the other. Its in our nature and the writer simply reinforces that.

I would be insulting you if I gave my own interpretation. I would advise you to call that city and found out on your own terms. No relos in Kismaayo i'm affraid. so go ahead, 'enlighten' me. ps you seem to have changed your tone a little in the past week or so

^^Why are the people of Kimaayo against the ICU?

Aweys: I have not heard of this, but what I do know is that our forces were forced to fire in the air to disperse some angry protestors whom we had deprived of Qat (a narcotic drug) after the plane transporting it failed to land in the city as usual. So that what it was about. Qaad!

The technicalities of Prayer Some raise their hands for the first takbeer, other don’t Some raise their hands again for the second takbeer, some don’t Some raise their hands after the rukuuc, some don’t Some hold the right over the left between the rukuuc and the sujuud, some don’t Some raise their hands again when having two more rakcas to do, some don’t Some ‘wiggle’ (sorry don’t know the correct term) their right index finger when sitting (taxiyaat), some don’t Some look behind them when finishing the prayer (ie look right then left), some don’t So what gives?

Djib-Somali, thanks for explaining from the economist angle. Nur the more I read about the Riba issue, and compare it to the current banking practices, its scary, the moral of the law has been adultered, the purpose beaten It has benefited those who pushed for it in the first place. There is no rush on the write up saxib.

I suppose you didnt watch their recent game vs Italia (The World Champs)?. To say that they destroyed them would be an understatement. France are the best team right now but football is a funny old game and things change very quickly. Riquelme has retired from international football so i think Argentina will fall down the pecking order.

I can assure you Jeenicad was no dead lion

lol, what a guy This made me remind my freind of the time i failed HIS theory test after just having passed mine Those were the days i tell ya

I just cant get enough of the phrase ' Clan Courts',,,,,,,,,,,

Just this month the courts in Burco started executions. 3 have been executed already. It has no ties to the ICU. On the the article, interesting,,,,
