| Police Federation Turns It's Dark Force Against Muslim Officer |

One of the UK's most senior Muslim officer has hit back at critics who accuse him of "blissful ignorance" regarding passenger profiling. Ch Supt Ali Dizaei said the profiling, which takes passengers' religion and race into account, would create an offence of "travelling whilst Asian". But the Police Federation accused the Met's Mr Dizaei of inflaming moderate Muslim opinion and sensationalism. In response, Mr Dizaei said the federation was out of touch. Vice-chairman of the Police Federation Alan Gordon said profiling was already used to stop football hooligans travelling to Germany for the World Cup in June and supported the measure, saying Mr Dizaei was being alarmist.
He said: "I have no doubt that the Home Secretary predicted negative knee-jerkism at the slightest hint of profiling, but it is a sad state of affairs that this has come from a high ranking police officer at such a sensitive time. "Cheap, sensationalist soundbites about creating an offence of 'travelling whilst Asian' are only likely to inflame moderate Muslim opinion and thus play into the hands of the terrorist. Yes, this is a difficult and emotive debate. But it is a debate we must have." But Mr Dizaei said: "Mr Gordon and his cohorts at the Police Federation have very little in common with the true racial diversity of this country and people of London and in that the travelling population,. "They therefore have no mandate to understand the complexity and the tension this might create if you simply profile people on the basis of their race." He said passenger profiling could only be an effective tool if used alongside other variables including travelling history, persistency of travelling and whether the journey was paid in cash or with credit cards. "If passenger profiling is not relying on intelligence what we'll end up with is the situation which has already happened where ordinary people are being escorted off airlines simply because they are not wearing flip flops, wearing leather jackets and speaking in a foreign language."

Don’t blame the Police Federation for not having to much intelligence.
Too much Intelligence in the police we end having people shot in the underground and in their own homes So if “travelling whilst Asian” might be considered by Ch Supt A Dizaei as a daft policy to be implement by the Federation. . . I say let them if it will stop them shooting innocent people Though here is a high-ranking Asian official within the force telling them how not to deal with his community and you have bureaucrats, dare I say probably white, telling him that he is ignorant. Why bother you may well ask!

This is nothing new we know that the metropolitan police has corrupt and racist people in their force at positions of power.
they have tried in the past to finish Ali Dezais career in the metropolitan police previousley and failed, they feel they might have something new with which to beat him down with. I say well done sir and keep speaking up for common sense, the police has been politicised by this government and that link has to be broken.

We need to understand the "forces" which are driving these actions. There is a high Probablity among society in general, that a person willing to engage in some kind of terrorist activity is more likely to be an "Asian-Muslim". These sterotyopes are inevitable. Sure, its makes the rest of us angry, because of the actions of the "minority" it reflects and impacts the Muslim community by large. Hyperthically, this scenario would exist in any society. We need to "endure" in the current hostile environment. However we need to ensure that the future for us is not "Gloomed". We need to become more Influential in the Political spectrum and mainstream society. In the interim, muslims, "We need to bite the bullet, and put up with the crap.........we are being given to put up with". We really need to sort our house in order !!!

To MohsinYou said "there is ahigh probability that terrorism will be done by an Asian Muslim"Absolute rubbish. Where did you 'learn' this ? by reading The Sun or Daily mail by any chance?if you look closely at at the evidence on these alleged crimes, you will see flimsy and circumstantial evidence, which amounts to no less than a 'frame up'.yes there are idiots in our community, normally the source of which leads directly to the stranglehold Mosque commitees have over the community thus denying any progress to the British Muslim cause.

A good read up on the situation. Mohsin "we need to bite the bullet" NO... not when its coming at you at the speed of lighting. We need to remove the firing pin "sort our house in order!!!" Please explain on here what is needed to be done? and how it is to be achieved? for the benefit of the uninformed.

What is amazing or perhaps not so amazing given the current climate of islamophobia and racism is that many white people are not concerned if muslims are locked up without charge and are presumed guilty until proven innocent as it is not they and their families who will have to suffer and be destroyed.
Let the criminals who are in the majority such as murderers or potential murderers and paedophiles or potential paedophiles or anyone who looks as though they may commit a crime be locked up for 28 days whilst evidence is collected against them including those who are in favour of racial profiling and no guess as to who will be crying the loudest. And shouldn't the racists such as those on the monarch plane be rounded up with a new charge of failing to accept a fellow citizen as an equal without any evidence. And we don't have to worry about football hooligans laying in to us as they don't really mean to and are really very nice people when sober but only if you support england.

Onother example of bowing to Islam that guy should and must be thrown out of the police who are already
at a all time low in public relations That police man at home secratary Reids turn out in londons East End recently was the laughing stock of the world. His hat was bigger than him, Public confidence in the police has gone down the swany this political corect knee bending to Islam is the final nail in the coffin.
