Police commissioner: NYPD is good with Muslims
TweetPolice commissioner: NYPD is good with Muslims
NEW YORK (AP) — New York’s police commissioner says a film that critics say paints Muslims in a bad light wasn’t officially approved for NYPD training.
At a news conference today, Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly called the movie “The Third Jihad” inflammatory. But he said it was shown by mistake in a side room of a training center.
He also defended the NYPD’s record with the city’s Muslim community. He called the relationship “excellent.”
The movie uses dramatic footage to warn against the dangers of radical Islam. Muslim groups say it teaches Americans to be suspicious of all Muslims.
Kelly appears for about 30 seconds of the 72-minute movie. He originally said he was not involved but later acknowledged giving the filmmakers an interview in 2007 and apologized.
Comments
This film (like "Obsession") is pure garbage, nothing more than vicious anti-Muslim propaganda designed to inflame Islamophobia. For the head of the nation's largest police force to be part of this hate crime is like the Gestapo head staring in a film about Jews. Grounds for prosecution, let alone resignation.
What a POS
The recent attacks on America have all been carried out by Muslims; and the Muslim community obviously has no interest in assimilating into our country. They are separatists and their religion is intolerant of all others. We should be suspicious of all Muslims; they are not like us and are a danger to everything that we Americans hold dear. This political correctness where we are not supposed to profile a group is absurd when it has been proven to be a threat.
Muslims are a threat to the American way of life !
