Perhaps they'll be too weak from fasting, to know that they've broken any laws of this country. Bless 'em.

What a load of old ball=cocks.

The pillock from 'Community Relations' who sent out the email should be sacked.

Could he not be arrested for sending offensive material over the internet?

Is it only me that finds the report a tad fantastical?
Any newspaper thet refers to police as 'cops' doesn't exactly provide the most sound information in my book.
I'll be waiting for the facts

It was a bit lacking in facts. I was looking for a link to read the full story. Still newspapers have to legally have all the facts before they publish a story, otherwise they could be sued.

A few more details I've just found on the BBC news site.

Whats new? they get away with everything else! they get what they want when they want it, and if they dont were racist!!!!

shakermaker · 22-10-2006, 12:34

Thanks for that, Garinda.
Well, for me it makes sense.
It's not preventing making arrests, it's just attempting to prevent repercussions. Why should an individual's crimes get in the way of other people's prayer, which people of Muslim faith value highly.
Obviously if people want to make a big thing out of the situation then that is all very easy to do.

well said!!!!!

But this sort of 'sensitivity' to Muslims is producing a public backlash.

You don't here of anything similar being issued at Sikh, Jewish, Christian festivals.

I would say the same thing if 'sensitivity' was called for at Notting Hill Carnival, or Manchester's Mardi Gras.

Everyone should be treated equally by the law, regardless of who they are, or what minority they happen to belong to.

So, the police are now so scared of the Muslim community that they won’t make arrests at certain times in case there are repercussions?

How come the police are not scared of arresting football hooligans during a football match? Protest marchers during a legitimate march? Would a Jew be arrested on a Saturday or a Christian on a Sunday? Yes!

The authorities are bending over so far backwards to appease the Muslims that they are now at breaking point.

When are people going to wake up realise that slowly but surely Islam is taking over this country and not only are we are getting pushed aside some British people actually condone it.

excuse me but the criminal should be arrested at the polices convinience not the theirs , if they are commiting crime then they arnt been a good muslim anyway so arresting them in the middle of prayer will show the rest of the congigation that somone's been a naughty boy/girl

the reason prayer would be interupted is because somone has been a naughty person and the police should not be dictated to on how to do their job just because of religeous matters

if teh police want somone who is known to be at a certain location at a particular time then of course they should go there and get the person asap because the person may escape if he is alerted that the police are waiting outside for when prayer finishes

Who are the British people who condone it?

By the way, being British as well as Muslim is not incompatible, you can be both.
