The 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver ruled earlier last year that a police chief can order his subordinates to attend Islamic mosques where Muslims “discussed Islamic beliefs, Muhammad, Mecca, and why and how Muslims pray” and even encouraged officers “to buy” Islamic books and materials.
I can see ordering them to attend and do police business, like crowd control or helping with traffic…but to actually attend the services, participate and purchase any materials for sale…on the police department’s dime I hope, then there is a big problem with infringement on the religious rights of the police officers so ordered….and some may even be atheist police officers…….would they ever be ordered to attend a Catholic Mass or a Jewish ceremony? That’s just WRONG and would like to know how these judges determined this was legal.
Our own friggin coutry and court system are whacked! About time people rise up

The police department represent ‘the state’ in the oft mentioned ‘separation of church and ‘state’ the state has no business endorsing any religion. A police officer should not be ordered to attend and participate in ANY religious ceremony of ANY religion…including Christian. This makes no sense whatsoever.
but no Christian prayers god help us all.eveything is corrupt all over the country
Thats good idea study other religion.I’ve been to mosque before in brunie w/ my employer their relatives and muslim friends from Singapore.
IN USA YOU CANT FORC SOME ONE ,WE HAVE A RIGHTS TO SAY NO , JUDGE IS DOING HIS JOB ,FIRE HIM NOW HES ONE OF OBAMA FOOLS
The courts got this wrong, the first amendment grants freedom of religion, the courts basically overturned anyone who serves as a police officer’s freedom of religion. There is no reason a cop is needed inside a mosque or any other religious building unless there is a crime being committed (or that is their church), other than that a cop does not need to be there nor should a cop be forced to attend!
He just needs to bring his Bible with him and read some scripture when the Muslims try to convert him. He’s a Christian and should not be forced to listen to them proselytize to him….he can proselytize right back.
Look, a whole room of muslim pigs!!
