| August 16, 2012 Captain Fields supervisor admits retaliation "…the police department retaliated against [Fields] for exercising his constitutional rights." Dear Lee, Wow. It's been nearly a year since ACT! for America held a rally in Tulsa in support of police Captain Paul Fields. After the rally we submitted a petition to the city with over 50,000 signatures demanding Captain Fields be reinstated. You may recall Captain Fields was disciplined because he refused to attend events at a local mosque, which included sitting in on Muslim teachings. Our friends at the Thomas More Law Center filed suit on Captain Fields' behalf. What recently surfaced in sworn testimony confirms what we have maintained all along—that Captain Fields' superiors retaliated against him. See the WND exclusive story (highlights added) below! Had enough of political correctness? Help us continue fighting radical Islam and its politically correct enablers.
WND EXCLUSIVE ADMITTED: CHRISTIAN COP PUNISHED OVER BELIEFS 'Creeping Shariah' hits city in American heartland Published: 2 days ago  by BOB UNRUH
The statement was included in a motion for summary judgment in the case brought by Capt. Paul Campbell Fields against the city of Tulsa, Chief Charles Jordan and Deputy Chief Alvin Webster. Fields sued when he was punished with a two-week unpaid suspension and a demotion for refusing department orders to attend an event at an Islamic mosque in which officers observed Islamic worship services, heard an explanation of Islamic beliefs and were proselytized. As a Christian, Fields believed the order violated his rights to freely exercise his own faith, but the department determined he was refusing a lawful order and punished him. A hearing is set for later this year in the case, but lawyers with the American Freedom Law Center and the Thomas More Law Center, who launched the case, have filed for the judgment. Find out what other plans there are for the U.S., in "Muslim Mafia: Inside the Secret Underworld That's Conspiring to Islamize America" In the brief, they point out that Maj. Julie Harris, Fields' immediate supervisor, "candidly admitted during her sworn testimony that the police department retaliated against [Fields] for exercising his constitutional rights." She told the department's internal affairs investigation looking into Fields' actions, "If somebody had some deep, deep, deep religious conviction, and as long as there was no crime that they needed to investigate, there's no need for me to force this (Islamic mosque attendance) on anybody."
The brief reveals that during depositions in the dispute, Harris was asked, "Do you believe the department took adverse action against [Fields] for exercising his rights?" "Yes," she responded. She also was asked, "If you believe Capt. Fields had a deeply held religious conviction opposing that order, [then] he would have a right to oppose that order based on that conviction?" Again, she responded, "Yes." The city police department did not respond to a WND message requesting comment on the developments. Robert Muise of the AFLC told WND the case is an example of the enforcement of Islamic religious law, or Shariah, across the nation today through various courts, orders and precedents. He noted that in Fields' case, never before had officers been ordered to attend a so-called "law enforcement appreciation day," until the local mosque leaders decided to hold one. Then, the attendance became mandatory. "This is indirectly the enforcement of Shariah, where if you say anything that's contrary to Islam, it's blasphemy and punishable," Muise explained. "This is very anti-Christian and an attack on Judeo-Christian values." "It's almost stealth jihad," he said. Muise said it wasn't until the last few years that he's encountered such actions in the U.S. But he's also battled similar conditions recently in Dearborn, Mich., and other locations where Islam is given precedence over other faiths. "All of these discussions about hate speech and signing onto these U.N. charters and transnational rules and regulations to guard against hate speech … these are just enforcement of Islamic blasphemy laws. We have the First Amendment for a reason," he said. He said in Fields' case, the officers was punished for refusing to attend another faith's worship service and be proselytized. The motion was filed in federal court in Oklahoma, where the case is scheduled for a hearing in November. "In light of the undisputed facts and controlling law, Capt. Fields is entitled to a judgment in his favor that the city and its senior police officials violated his clearly established constitutional rights by ordering him to engage in conduct that was contrary to his Christian beliefs and then punishing him for not obeying the unlawful order," said Muise. The order for Fields to attend the mosque event was in February 2011. The event was held March 4, 2011, a Friday, which is the "holy day" for Islam. The legal team explained, "The so-called 'appreciation day' included 'Mosque tours,' which involved religious proselytizing, meeting 'Local Muslims & Leadership,' watching the 'weekly congregational prayer service,' and receiving presentations on Islamic 'beliefs,'" The complaint notes the Tulsa organization is affiliated with the Council on American-Islamic Relations and the Islamic Society of North America – both "unindicted, co-conspirators and/or joint venturers in the 2008 Holy Land Foundation terrorism financing trial." ISNA, the case explains, is the "largest Muslim Brotherhood front in North America." The Tulsa organization has had featured speakers such as Imam Siraj Wahhaj, "a Shariah-adherent Muslim who promotes the destruction of Western civilization and the creation of an Islamic caliphate," according to the lawsuit.

| August 14, 2012 This couldn't happen here, could it? Dear Lee, Yes it could—and is. In fact, the title of the article below (highlights added), posted at the Gatestone Institute website, could just as easily be "How Political Correctness is Transforming American Education."
To find just one example, click here to check out the report we released earlier this year, "Education or Indoctrination: The Treatment of Islam in 6th through 12th Grade American Textbooks." You'll learn that the typical textbook fails to note that the 9/11 terrorists were radical Muslims and fails to inform students that the state of Israel was created by a UN resolution in 1947. Most of what is mentioned below is already beginning to happen in America. For example, a couple years ago students at a Boston-area middle school were taken on a field trip to a mosque. The boys were invited to kneel and pray while teachers stood by and did nothing. Can you imagine the outcry from faculty and the ACLU if this had happened at a Christian church? How Political Correctness Is Transforming British Education by Soeren Kern http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/3170/british-education-political-correctness#.UAQtSmOuuGk.facebook In Cheshire, two students at the Alsager High School were punished by their teacher for refusing to pray to Allah as part of their religious education class. In Scotland, 30 non-Muslim children from the Parkview Primary School recently were required to visit the Bait ur Rehman Ahmadiyya mosque in the Yorkhill district of Glasgow (videos here and here). At the mosque, the children were instructed to recite the shahada, the Muslim declaration of faith which states: "There is no god but Allah and Mohammed is his messenger." Muslims are also demanding that Islamic preachers be sent to every school in Scotland to teach children about Islam, ostensibly in an effort to end negative attitudes about Muslims. British schools are increasingly dropping the Jewish Holocaust from history lessons to avoid offending Muslim pupils, according to a report entitled, Teaching Emotive and Controversial History, commissioned by the Department for Education and Skills. British teachers are also reluctant to discuss the medieval Crusades, in which Christians fought Muslim armies for control of Jerusalem: lessons often contradict what is taught in local mosques. In an effort to counter "Islamophobia" in British schools, teachers now are required to teach "key Muslim contributions such as Algebra and the number zero" in math and science courses, even though the concept of zero originated in India. In the East London district of Tower Hamlets, four Muslims were recently jailed for attacking a local white teacher who gave religious studies lessons to Muslim girls; and 85 out of 90 schools have implemented "no pork" policies. Schools across Britain are, in fact, increasingly banning pork from lunch menus to avoid offending Muslim students. Hundreds of schools have adopted a "no pork" policy, according to a recent report by the London-based Daily Telegraph. The culinary restrictions join a long list of politically correct changes that gradually are bringing hundreds of British primary and secondary education into conformity with Islamic Sharia law. The London Borough of Haringey, a heavily Muslim district in North London, is the latest school district to switch to a menu that is fully halal (religiously permissible for Muslims). The Haringey Town Council recently issued "best practice" advice to all schools in its area to "ban all pork products in order to cater for the needs of staff and pupils who are not permitted contact with these for religious reasons." Local politicians have criticized the new policy as pandering to Muslims, and local farmers, who have pointed out that all schools in Britain already offer vegetarian options, have accused school administrators of depriving non-Muslim children of a choice. Following an outcry from non-Muslim parents, the town council removed the guidance from its website, although the new policy remains in place. At the Cypress Junior School, in Croydon, south London, school administrators announced in the school newsletter dated June 1, 2012 that the school has opted for a pork-free menu "as a result of pupil and parental feedback." The announcement states: "Whilst beef, chicken, turkey and fish will all feature, as well as the daily vegetarian and jacket potato or pasta option, the sausages served will now be chicken rather than pork." In Luton, an industrial city some 50 kilometers (30 miles) north of London where more than 15% of the population is now Muslim, 23 out of 57 schools have banned pork. In the City of Bradford, a borough of West Yorkshire in Northern England where there are now twice as many practicing Muslims that there are practicing Anglicans, 24 out of 160 schools have eliminated pork from their menus. In Newham (East London), 25 out of 75 schools have banned pork. Other pork-free schools include Cranford Park Primary School in Hayes (Middlesex), and Dog Kennel Hill Primary in East Dulwich (South London). The Borough of Harrow in northwest London was among the first in Britain to encourage halal menus. In 2010, Harrow Council announced plans to ban pork in the borough's 52 state primary schools, following a switch by ten secondary schools to offer halal-only menus. According to the UK-based National Pig Association, which represents commercial pork producers, "It is disappointing that schools cannot be sufficiently organized to give children a choice of meat. Sausages and roast pork are staples of a British diet and children enjoy eating them. If products can be labeled with warnings that they contain nuts and vegetarian dishes can be made and kept separate from meat dishes, [we] don't see why the same can't apply to pork." Lunch menus are not the only area in which "cultural sensitivity" is escalating in British schools. In West Yorkshire, the Park Road Junior Infant and Nursery School in Batley has banned stories featuring pigs, including "The Three Little Pigs," in case they offend Muslim children. In Nottingham, the Greenwood Primary School cancelled a Christmas nativity play; it interfered with the Muslim festival of Eid al-Adha. In Scarborough, the Yorkshire Coast College removed the words Christmas and Easter from their calendar not to offend Muslims. Also in Cheshire, a 14-year-old Roman Catholic girl who attends Ellesmere Port Catholic High School was branded a truant by teachers for refusing to dress like a Muslim and visit a mosque. In Stoke-on-Trent, schools have been ordered to rearrange exams, cancel swimming lessons and stop sex education during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. In Norwich, the Knowland Grove Community First School has axed the traditional Christmas play to "look at some of the other great cultural festivals of the world." Meanwhile, the politically correct ban on pigs in Britain also extends to toys for children. A toy farm set called HappyLand Goosefeather Farm recently removed pigs in order to avoid offending Muslims. The pig removal came to public attention after a British mother bought the toy as a present for her daughter's first birthday. Although the set contained a model of a cow, sheep, chicken, horse and dog, there was no pig, despite there being a sty and a button which generated an "oink" sound. After the mother complained, the Early Learning Centre (ELC), which manufactures the toy, responded: "Previously the pig was part of the Goosefeather Farm. However due to customer feedback and religious reasons this is no longer part of the farm." After a public outcry, however, ELC later reversed its decision: "We recognize that pigs are familiar farm animals, especially for our UK customers. We have taken the decision to reinstate the pig and to no longer sell the set in international markets where it might create an issue." |
