Police Captain nailed for refusing to attend Islamic event

 

As reported by KOTV of Tulsa, Oklahoma, Captain Paul Fields of the Tulsa Police Department has officially been suspended for two weeks without pay, will not even be considered for promotion for a full year, and has been threatened with greater punishment to include losing his job.

 

Why?

 

Complete with a tour of the mosque, observing a Muslim prayer service, and lectures on Islamic beliefs, Captain Fields was ordered to attend a "Law Enforcement Appreciation Day" even sponsored by the Islamic Society of Tulsa. 

 

Citing his own religious convictions, Fields refused.

 

Then he took another moral stand - he refused to order any of his officers to attend.

 

All the while, attendance was initially voluntary, but when so few officers showed any interest, attendance magically became mandatory.

 

Recently, the Thomas More Law Center has announced that it has joined Tulsa attorney Scott Wood to defend Fields’ constitutional right not to become a propaganda prop for the local mosque.

 

The TMLC is a self-described not-for-profit public interest law firm dedicated to the defense and promotion of the religious freedom of Christians.

CAIR was listed an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation terrorism trial.

Moreover, the Law Enforcement Appreciation event was held just five days after the Tulsa mosque hosted a dinner featuring Imam Siraj Wahhaj, an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.

The Thomas More Law Center doesn't charge for its services, but is entirely supported by contributions from individuals, corporations and foundations.
