Stupidity: Edmonton Police Allowing Hijabs For Cops

[Anonymous]

The symbol of violence and oppression of women and our "progressive" police force is trying to find a way of incorporating it into the uniform. Hey, while they are at it why not figure out a way of incorporation pointy white hoods or swastikas. Wouldn't that be inclusive and progressive? Why not Japanese Imperial Armed forces hats?

A new uniform piece could 'open doors' for women of other cultures looking to begin a career with the Edmonton Police Service.



At an Edmonton Police Commission meeting Thursday it was revealed that EPS is working on introducing a hijab option to the uniform.



Natasha Goudar with the Equity, Diversity and Human Rights Unit said the conversation started when a recruiter was asked if EPS would "ever even consider allowing someone to wear a hijab."



Goudar says officers have been working closely with various Muslim communities, talking to Imams about cultural implications and requirements.



"One of the big concerns for them was an educational element to the introduction of the hijab. They didn't want to just bring it in and have it sit on a shelf," she told the commission.



Goudar added that so far news of the new uniform piece is having a positive impact on young women in Muslim communities.



Those wearing a hijab, who thought a career in policing was out of reach because of their cultural practices are not seeing it as a tangible goal, she said.



"One young lady told me that she couldn't wait to pass this along to her sister, who didn't think it was possible because she wore a hijab. Now it's an option," she said.



"We started that conversation, and we're hopeful we're going to have a recruit wearing one soon."



The head scarf would be black in colour, and sit underneath the standard issued Edmonton police hat.



It's projected that the hijab could be ready to go in spring or summer 2014, Goudar said.



Newly appointed city councillor Scott McKeen was also sworn in as a member of the Edmonton Police Commission Thursday, and said he was impressed and proud of the work Goudar and her team have done.



He added that given the lengths that Quebec has gone to ban the cultural headpieces, the progress seen Thursday was even more impressive.



"This is coming at a time when another province is going in another direction," he told the commission.



"For that reason, I'm most certainly impressed."



The proposed Quebec Charter of Values threatens to forbid Quebec's public employees from wearing visible religious symbols — including hijabs, turbans, yarmulkes and larger-than-average crucifixes.



It wasn't that long ago that RCMP officers were prohibited from wearing turbans, a ban was lifted by the Canadian government in 1990 allowing members to don the cultural headpieces.

I totally agree CC that Islam is a barbaric, supremacist ideology. However, Edmonton is and has been for some time a very left wing city. The latest municipal election only reinforced that truth. The newer detached home subdivisions are mainstream and pragmatic, but it is the Strathcona extremists that run city hall.

I really must get off my ass and do a thread documenting the step by step by step by step "creep" ... from a small business hair salon owner fined for firing a hijab wearer (guess what? the biatch  wasn't wearing one when hired btw   .. yet another deliberately planned "setup" engineered by an islamic(ist) organization ) .. to this atrocity  .. and all the little steps in between

What I find ironic in just about all this kowtowing to Islam comes from the French or people closely associated with the French. I give 2 thumbs up to what Quebec is doing to combat the kind of PC idiocy that is taking place everywhere else.

I was under the impression that France was joining the movement to reduce Islam's influence on European culture too? CC will no doubt be able to answer this one better than you or I, but that is the impression I got anyway. I could be wrong though.

For decades France was bumup. Today, it is changing RAPIDLY ... Sarkosy passed the face veil ban, but surprisingly newly elected socialist has not only OK'd it but wants to go further,



Even with that, Hollande is at  24 % approval, the lowest ever recorded  .. as islam-control parties have risen to levels making many predict serious surprises in the next election. islam-control parties are winning local election handily this past year



The climate started to change a cpl of years ago and now control-islam politicians are gaining in polls in major proportions



Just one example of feelings in France derived FROM DIRECT EXPERIENCE - http://au.ibtimes.com/articles/508022/20130923/islam-muslim-hijab-veil-attack-assault-france.htm#.Uo-cPcR4Kot">International Business Times Sept 23 / 2013

"An earlier survey finds that 74 per cent French people do not believe that Islam is compatible with the social structure of France, according to reports of The Inquisitr. "

The rest of her may indeed be pretty too, but you'll never know as long as she's covered in that oppressive prison shell called a hijab.

France went so far one way to accommodate the poison called Islam and now they realize the error of their ways.



Islam-friendly parties is no surprise. Most French realizing Islam is incompatible with liberal European values should come as a shocker to no one. Maybe a culture clash is coming in Europe. Islam is indeed a supremacist ideology, so I can't see it developing a live and let live attitude as their numbers and power increases throughout Europe. Their hate book(Quran) says otherwise.
