Curiously, the new regulations also make officers’ behavior more closely aligned with Sharia norms of gender interaction and interpersonal contact. “Police officers banned from asking for ‘Christian’ names,” by Richard Edwards for the Telegraph, March 18: Police officers have been banned from asking for a person’s “Christian” name because it might offend people with other […]
