Three female police officers were ordered to dress up as Muslim women for the day just to see what it felt like.

Two covered their faces with hijab headscarves and niqab veils, leaving only narrow slits to see through, and another wore Muslim dress and a headscarf showing her face.

Douglas Murray, of the Centre for Social Cohesion think-tank, said: ‘You just couldn’t make it up.

‘The victims of crime must be amazed that the police have so much time on their hands that they can spend a day playing dress-up.

‘This is a complete waste of police time and taxpayers’ money. It’s not the duty of police to empathise with particular sections of the community. It is the duty of the police to prevent crime and catch criminals.

‘After this are they planning to dress as members of other communities such as Hindus and Buddhists?’

Fiona McEvoy, of the TaxPayers’ Alliance, said: ‘The police should be spending their time trying to catch criminals rather than indulging in gimmicky exercises.

‘This is political correctness gone mad – it’s ridiculous. These kinds of schemes seem to yield few measurable benefits.

So according to the U.K. police force you are not a Muslim woman unless you wear this apparel? How stupid.

The nudist people will definitely be offended......


Is this kindergarten or something over there?

PC vs common sense and knowing right from wrong. How sad this world has become.
I would like to read up a bit more on this though. Do they make Muslim women dress in bikinis so to experience the other side as well?

FWIW I recently asked a TSA guy if shaved head, goatee and overweight was a dress code requirement. He told me to GTF back in line.

How cultural distortions dull senses and inhibit appropriate responses to the Islamic terrorist threat

Several generations of young Americans have grown up believing they should be politically correct and embrace multiculturalism. To the extent this campaign has been successful, the United States is culturally weakened against the greatest threat to its existence since its founding.

Under the banners of "political correctness"[1] and "multiculturalism"[2] the United States has experienced cultural shifts that have led to the perversion of rational information processing. These banners are waved most violently by the political Left who are ardently pursuing a course designed to destroy traditional American values that are essential for the preservation of the United States as a free and prosperous nation.

Fostered by radical teachers and professors in public schools and universities, conformance to political correctness and multiculturalism have worked into the mainstream of our culture in ways that short-circuit the public's consciousness of threats both from within and of foreign origin.

The very nature of political correctness acts to inhibit free expression of ideas. This is done with the notion that it is more important to protect someone's feelings than to allow ideas to be freely expressed. Such repression of normal discourse is never beneficial. Let ideas be expressed freely so they can stand on their merits. We need to get over this idea that people don't have the common sense to separate nonsense from legitimate commentary.

Look around and the signs of cultural weakness and loss of the American identity are everywhere. The language is perverted by avoidance of gender-neutral forms of male pronouns so as not to offend women who haven't the maturity to get beyond superficial symbolism. Public documents are available in a variety of languages so that immigrants do not have to learn the nation's language. While tourist and diplomatic areas should be applauded for providing useful information to foreign nationals, it is completely inappropriate to bend over backwards and provide a host of public documents, including voting materials, to immigrant citizens so they can remain illiterate in the nation's language.

It sounds very much what Mark Steyn writes in "America Alone" which is a fairly good quick read.

I don't see why you guys think this is so odd, rehearsing to become a Muslim country is now an important function of the British state. After all, inshallah, we don't want any slip-ups on the day.

Britain has to protect herself, oops, that might upset the brothers! I should say himself, from far right extremists like Melanie Phillips, the Muslim group seculardemocracy.org and plots by Zionists to import undesirables like Geert Wilders who dare to interfere in our biggest test of British tolerance; to become true Muslims, kneel to Allah Subhanahu wa ta'alla, raise the flag of the khalifate over Downing Street and know that we are at last saved.
