MORE MUSLIM BOBBIES WANTED

Assistant Commissioner Tarique Ghaffur, London's most senior Muslim police officer, wants to recruit more Muslim police as a counter to hate crimes:

While positive discrimination is illegal, Ghaffur told an inter-faith meeting in Southall on Friday that he was determined to look for 'imaginative' ways to recruit more Asians and Muslims to the police. One of his ideas was the possibility of London business leaders funding a recruitment drive for Muslim officers.

I doubt the general public will be reassured by increased numbers of Muslim police.
