Al-Queda in Scotland Yard, can't be touched?

Multiculturalism corrupts the absolute requirements for security.

Up to eight police officers and civilian staff are suspected of links to extremist groups including Al Qaeda.

Some are even believed to have attended terror training camps in Pakistan or Afghanistan.

Their names feature on a secret list of alleged radicals said to be working in the Metropolitan and other forces.

The dossier was drawn up with the help of MI5 amid fears that individuals linked to Islamic extremism are taking advantage of police attempts to increase the proportion of ethnic staff.

Astonishingly, many of the alleged jihadists have not been sacked because - it is claimed - police do not have the "legal power" to dismiss them.

We can also reveal that one suspected jihadist officer working in the South East has been allowed to keep his job despite being caught circulating Internet images of beheadings and roadside bombings in Iraq.

He is said to have argued that he was trying to "enhance" debate about the war.

Classified intelligence reports raising concerns about police staff's background cannot be used to justify their dismissal, sources said.

It's funny, the cops in Britain seem to be obsessed with promoting ethnic harmony and improving relations between the police, Muslims and non Muslims.

Well I guess allowing Islamic extremists to join the police force is one way of gaining the trust of the Muslim community, isn't it?

Although how this will affect the relationship between non Muslims and Muslim police officers is any body's guess. My view is that Muslim police officers will find it harder and harder to gain any kind of respect in the non-Muslim community. They'll be singled out for attack. And who can blame anyone? When the public can't even be sure that a COP isn't an Islamic terrorist, how can we expect them to respect the law?

This is a hugely ominous development for Britain.
