Many of them A-grade students,” she said.

Right now, there are about 800 Muslim uniformed police officers out of about 35,000, according to the NYPD Muslim Officers Society. Of those, only about 20 are higher ranked officials. Lt. Adeel Rana, commanding officer of the community affairs immigration outreach unit, said there has been a slow increase over the past decade, but it has been rapidly changing in the past year and a half.Anonymous notes:

the direct result of this affirmative action as it affected "community cohesion" in merry ole England! Rotherham, Luton, Birmingham grooming gangs running unhindered for decades as efforts to infect law enforcement and social services should ring a bell in this forum
