Muslim Groups Call For (NYPD Commissioner) Kelly's Resignation After Anti-Islam Video Showing...

[font size="1"]Edit for title clarification[/font]


Muslim organizations are still calling for the job of New York Police Commissioner Ray Kelly after revelations of police officers being shown an anti-Islam video.

It was recently revealed that the New York City Police Department showed almost 1,500 of its officers a right-wing documentary titled "The Third Jihad," which portrays Muslims in America as devising strategies and infiltrating the country's culture to eventually dominate. <snip>

..."We call on Mayor Bloomberg to either fire Commissioner Kelly or ask for his resignation," said Zahid H. Bukhari of the Islamic Circle of North America in an emailed statement. "The NYPD under Kelly's leadership has allowed a blatantly racist, Islamophobic film to be used to train over 1,489 police officers. This film was also produced by individuals and groups with ties to anti-Muslim hate groups. <snip>

..."This type of clandestine behavior by the NYPD not only violates the civil liberties and civil rights of Muslim Americans, but calls into question the integrity of a police force that is sworn to protect thousands of law-abiding Muslim Americans and other ethnic communities who live in New York City." <snip>
