Don’t expect the DOJ to intervene, unless it is on behalf of the mosque. via Policeman sues over orders to attend Islamic prayer
A Tulsa, Okla., police captain is suing his chief and the city after he was demoted and targeted by an internal investigation for refusing orders to attend an event featuring lessons in Islam, a tour and a prayer service at a mosque linked to an unindicted co-conspirator in a terror financing trial.
The legal action has been brought by attorneys with the Thomas More Law Center on behalf of Paul Fields.
Named as defendants are the city, police chief Charles W. Jordan and deputy chief Alvin Daryl Webster. WND requests for comment did not generate a response from the defendants.
The lawsuit focuses on the officer’s constitutional and civil rights, and besides a resolution of Fields’ concerns, it seeks an injunction preventing “enforcement of defendants’ unconstitutional acts, policies, practices, procedures and/or customs.”
At issue is a solicitation by officials in the Tulsa Police Department for officers to attend a “Law Enforcement Appreciation Day” organized by the Islamic Society of Tulsa. The invitation said the officers would be given tours of the mosque, meet the mosque’s leadership, be given presentations of “beliefs, human rights, women” and “watch the 2-2:45 weekly congregational prayer service.”
While at first the police administration’s recommendation for attendance at the event appeared to be voluntary – there was a voluntary signup list – the law firm said when officers refused to respond, the managers made it a required event.
The day “had nothing to do with any official police function. It clearly fell outside of the police department’s policy on community policing, and based on comments made by police department officials in a closed door meeting, it was not ‘community outreach’ as it has been previously portrayed,” the law firm explained.
“Rather, it included a mosque tour, meetings with local Muslims and Muslim leadership, observing a ‘weekly prayer service,’ and lectures on Islamic ‘beliefs,’” the Thomas More Law Center explained. “The event was scheduled for Friday, March 4, 20011 – Friday being the ‘holy day’ or ‘Sabbath’ for Islam. In fact, the event was originally voluntary, but when not enough officers were willing to attend, it became mandatory.”
The lawsuit alleges, “The event held by the Islamic Society involved Islamic proselytizing. The Islamic Society event was advertised as including Islamic proselytizing, and it in fact resulted in the proselytizing of city police officers who attended the event.”
…
According to the new Tulsa lawsuit, images of some police officers appeared later in a publicity photograph used by the mosque to promote “Islam classes for Non-Muslims.”
The Thomas More Law Center, which already is involved in other litigation defending the religious freedom of Christians as well as “countering the infiltration of radical Muslims in America,” said it was working with Tulsa attorney Scott Wood to defend Fields’ “constitutional right not to become a propaganda prop for the local mosque.”

STAND WITH this CAPTAIN in refusing to go to a BOGUS MUSLIM INDOCTRINATION. MUSLIM’S BRAKE THE LAW, then arrest them the same as any other law breaker. Police do not need a brainwashing by these CRUD PERVAYORS. Time to REVERSE THE PROCESS, INDOCTERINATE the MUSLIM’S in our LAWS. DOWN with the MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD the perveyors of DEATH ALL OVER THE WORLD. LOCK and LOAD.
Clearly the Tulsa police officials violated the Constitutional rights of this officer–several, in fact:
Separation of church and state, freedom of association, religious coercion, etec. etc. etc. It was illegal to force him to attend a session of religious indoctrination as a condition of keeping his livlihood.
More Creeping Sharia. I note that in the above picture the Islamists have put two women all wrapped up like a mummy, at the officers table. Probably wanted to entice the officers with the beauty of a woman wrapped in a shroud.
Islam is not a rleigion. It is a political system which is cruel, inhumane, misogynistic and bloodthirsty. A police department which pushes this needs to be educated about the danger they are allowing to infiltrate this country.
No Sharia Here,
For the most part I agree with you, If only Americans United for the Separation Of Church and State would do its job when it comes to preventing Muslims from merging their religion and the state, instead of siding with Stealth Jihadists groups like CAIR. Except. technically, Islam is a religion, otherwise the separation of Church and State would not apply. It doesn’t mean that it is a humane or benign religion however.
Actually, ALL of the policemen/women should have gone. And then done the old pointing to their eyes and then to the Muslims eyes as in “We’re watching you and don’t forget it”. Just a lil warning. What better opportunity could they have had to go right inside and let it be known to the Muslims there that they’re being watched.
gag me!!!!!!!!! this is so dumb it has to be a fairy tale!!!!!!!!
I once had respect for our police officers, but I realize they are just there for the paycheck just like everyone seems to be at all jobs…….. I always tell my employees, “don’t wait for the work to come to you, you need to go to the work”…….. well? It looks like the work came to the cops this time, but they are not smart enough to figure that out!!!!!! sitting through a session on TAQIYYA and probably loved every bit of it………… I am going to throw up now, thank you
Have a good look at the photo, seems to me they look pretty bored and not too happy..no one is smiling…
Wow, that’s so true – there’s no joy in that room at all.
“Islam classes for non-muslims”: I say, attend them, then afterwards have classes revealing all the truths those classes left out.
Yes attend and then ask the questions no one will ask and watch them skirm. Questions to ask:
Do you believe that Sharia law should be the law of hte land? If you don’t follow Sharia Law, then what religious law do you follow? What is the penalty for a person who leaves Islam.? What is the penalty for being gay? What is the penalty for a women who is seen outside of her home without a family male companion? What is the penalty for people who criticize the prophet or who question islam? Why can only men get a divorce from a women but a women cannot from a man? Why does it say in the quran that muslims should make war with the jews and the cfhristians and not be their friends? The list goes on and on and it is awesome to watch them skwirm. Wake up people and learn about islam and what they really believe and think. It isn’t good, I can tell you that.
He should have attended the meet;afterwards they could have had a cook-out consisting of roast pig barbecue;and Jewish wine tasting!ALLAH BE PRAISED! THIS IS DELICIOUS!
Good! This is how we got to deal with the moslems and their useful idiots. I wish we didn’t have to do it because the useful idiots are totally in the wrong, well so are the moslems but that is a group of people who thing wrong is good and then wrap the aura of holiness around it and make a show of praying for it… wrong that is.

No Christian should be compelled to eat any meat that is halal slaughtered to the Islamic moon god idol and in any case it is forbidden. St. Paul forbade Christians to eat: Meat offered to an idol (1 Corinthians, 8:7). Read further at: http://ibloga.blogspot.com/2011/03/should-christians-and-jews-eat-halal.html
I would never attend a Muslim function. They are not of my faith and I am not of theirs. We have nothing in common and that is the major reason I would not attend. I don’t have any desire to learn of Islam and their religion. I am happy with my religion and with the way I worship. If people in our nation do not want to associate with Muslims they should not have to do so. To worship as we desire is a right and a right that I am willing to protect. The police are wrong in this case.
Another waste of time pandering to islamic community.
Indeed, why should anyone be forced to attend an obviously useless ‘event’ that had got nothing to do with the job at all.
[...] A LOCAL HERO– Police captain sues over orders to attend Islamic prayer …. [...]
beautiful!!! keep up the great work you are doing Thomas moor law center! it’s about time we the people started doing as the Muslims do! if for any reason anyone is pushed in any way to do something that is against there own religious belief’s SUE! SUE! SUE! just like the Muslims do! fight them at there own game!
It’s about time we all got behind anyone who is forced to attend a function such a this. There is no HR Deptartment in the land that could truthfully justify this. I say congrats to the HERO captain who said no. Religious Freedom is what this land was founded for by the pilgrims. Where’s the FREEDOM in forcing someone to attend a BRAINWASHING as part of their job!
The DOJ needs to get on with the real problems in this country instead of PANDERING to the minorities!
