Sharia law has no authority over New Yorkers, right?
We’re told that religious beliefs cannot override the constitutional rights of American citizens, but a recent incident in NYC is making a lot of Americans question if allowing Muslim’s onto the police force is a good idea.
A video circulating online shows two Muslim NYPD officers physically restraining a woman and trying to take her dog away. This comes after the arrest of a former Muslim NYPD officer being accused of stabbing a woman who was jogging in Brooklyn and recent video by Nate Friedman showing Muslim police officers refusing to ticket cars double parked outside of a Manhattan mosque.
Seems like all those desperate for NYC to become Mamdanistan are getting their wish.
According to the account accompanying the footage, the officers were unable to identify which law the woman had violated. She was just walking her dog at 3AM and was suddenly being threatened to be detained and her dog taken away.
Islamic religious texts express negative views about dogs, claiming they are unclean, a belief that is contradictory to the belief of many Christians which believe animals can see unseen demons or angels. This comes from Numbers 22 and the account of Balaam and the donkey. Certain hadith describe orders attributed to Muhammad to kill dogs, while others establish exceptions for hunting and guarding livestock. Sahih al-Bukhari also contains a narration stating that angels do not enter homes containing dogs.
But these religious teachings do not establish what motivated the officers' actions. There is currently no verified evidence that the officers were enforcing Sharia law, but their religious background suggests otherwise.
The central question is whether the officers had a legitimate legal justification for detaining the woman and trying to take her pet. Demands from City Hall and Mayor Zohran Mamdani to investigate the incident have been largely ignored.
New York City police officers should enforce New York law, not Sharia.
If these officers acted without legal justification, they should face appropriate disciplinary consequences, regardless of their religious beliefs.
What do you think?
Should the NYPD release the body-camera footage and explain what happened?
I've scoured the interwebs to find the entire video and this is the longest version I've been able to find. Aside from walking down the street, crossing at a crosswalk with the right of way, with her face uncovered, and a dog at her side (obvious violations of Sharia law). I can't find anything else that this woman did to deserve this treatment. Did the officers ever articulate a crime when they detained her and demanded ID? Was it the dog or her being uncovered that caused this stop?
