inky pete Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 Assume this is what's being referred to. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article4276489.ece If so, I found the quote from the Muslim cleric they consulted to be the most revealing:- Ibrahim Mogra, one of Britain?s leading imams, said the measures were unnecessary: ?In Islamic law the dog is not regarded as impure, only its saliva is. Most Islamic schools of law agree on that. If security measures require to send a dog into a house, then it has to be done. I think Acpo needs to consult better and more widely. ?I know in the Muslim community there is a hang-up against dogs, but this is cultural. Also, we know the British like dogs; we Muslims should do our bit to change our attitudes.? So once again, it's the ultra-PC brigade over-reacting without letting such trifles as facts and a bit of sensible consultation get in the way of a good story to justify their public funding.
