Provocative Islamic sign that says 'Do not walk your dog here! Muslims don't like dogs' investigated by police |
2014-06-01 |
[Independent] A sign declaring a London park an "Islamic area" and ordering dog walkers to stay away because "Moslems do not like dogs" is being investigated by police. The warning, branded "alarming and divisive ...politicians call things divisivewhen when the other side sez something they don't like. Their own statements are never divisive,they're principled... " by the local council, appeared in Bartlett Park in east London's Poplar. It read: "Do not walk your dog here! Moslems do not like dogs. This is an Islamic area now." Local Labour MP Jim Fitzpatrick alerted police to the sign after a dog walker complained. "The question is whether it was put up by the EDL to be provocative or by religious zealots to be racist," he told the Evening Standard. "It's another facet of intolerance, or, because there's no guarantee it was done by Islamists, it could be those in society who are trying to polarise and divide us." He called on the culprit responsible for the sign to "pack it in". Police have removed the offending message and conducted additional patrols in the area. "Bartlett Park does not have any history of community tension; however we are investigating the posting of these signs and conducting additional patrols to ensure that community reassurance and confidence are maintained in the area," Tower Hamlets Borough Commander Dave Stringer said. A Tower Hamlets council front man said the poster was "alarming and divisive". The investigation is ongoing. |

#5 Londonistan Muslims NOT taking "NO" for an answer from the Brit Govt as per "sharia zones". I have no doubts LEGAL SHARIA is coming to the US, espec riding on the coat-tails of various DemoLefty/Secular-supported Alternatist issues whose activism is now pushing itself to the forefront, + which on the surface would appear to have little or nothing to do wid Islam or Sharia. SEEING THE AGGRESSIVENESS OF AMER MUSLIMS, EVEN HINDU-AMERICANS REPOR NOW WANT THEIR OWN SEPARATE COURT-LEGAL SYSTEM INCLUDING FULL-BORE LEGAL DALIT = "UNTOUCHABLE" CASTE SYSTEM. |
