Ruby Begum represents another triumph of identity politics over public safety. If she had not been a Muslim, she never would have been a police officer. British officials wanted a Muslim police officer more than they wanted a competent police officer. So they bear the responsibility.
“Revealed: Muslim policewoman who posted racist messages on social media and was in touch with female jihadi knew that she couldn’t let ‘anyone at work’ see her tweets,” by Ian Gallagher, Mail On Sunday, August 14, 2021 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
A Muslim police officer facing investigation for tweeting racist messages once admitted that her employer found her views ‘extreme’.
Ruby Begum, 26, posted the comment when she worked for a market-research company.
The Mail on Sunday revealed last week that Ms Begum used Twitter in the months before joining the Metropolitan Police to insult Jews and mock the 9/11 terror attacks.
She was also in contact with a suspected female jihadi in Syria.
She frequently used the offensive term ‘kuffar’ to describe non-believers, writing in July 2014: ‘Kuffar lips have been all over my mug there is no way I’m using that thing again.’…
This newspaper can now reveal that when urged by a friend to switch the settings on her Twitter account from private to public 18 months after becoming a police officer, Ms Begum replied: ‘I can’t have anyone at work find me.’
Later, however, she did make her tweets publicly accessible.
She ran her account under the name Ruby Beees, posting 25,000 messages.
Photographs and film of the petite officer wearing a hijab on the front line went viral last year, with senior colleagues calling her inspirational.
But after being alerted by The Mail on Sunday, the Met launched an investigation and referred the matter to the Independent Office for Police Conduct.
Ms Begum has now been placed on ‘restricted duties’. Most of her antisemitic comments were made in 2014, when Israel launched a ferocious attack against the Palestinian militant group Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
Ms Begum wrote: ‘Dirty Zionist. Jahannam [hell] is awaiting.’ In another tweet, she wrote: ‘Israel have no limits. Scumbags I can’t wait for the day they get severely punished.’
Later that year, she said: ‘Zionists have no hearts! They’ll get what’s coming to them subhanallah [glory be to God].’
In a tweet from 2014, she wrote: ‘Don’t like being private but my company thinks I have extreme views.’…

Had it been a non-muslim that made these tweets towards a muslim, all hell would of broke out.

Damn right, john smith.

J.S. You said it! If they have a strict anti-sematic policy they signed off on promising to obey, when hired, she should be terminated. When will governments learn? So disgusting.

Cover up and free pass assured

A Bangladeshi, judging from her name. It’s hard to believe that Judeophobia was the only thing in her tweets that was objectionable: I’m willing to bet that she had anti-Hindu and anti-Christian sentiments as well. Is that something we’re likely to find out?
Crusades Were Right says
Frankly, I think that if we really believe in freedom of speech, then there should be no repercussions for the comments she has expressed…
… providing, of course…
… THAT APPLIES TO EVERYBODY ELSE!
If HER “funny/offensive” comments pass muster, then, clearly, so do COUNT DANKULA’S.

The same as former incompetent Somali Minneapolis police officer Mohamed Noor who killed the Australian Justin Damond

Muslim/islamic migrants don’t change colors when they enter your country and neighborhoods. Islam always will come FIRST.
Norman Gardner Gardner says
She should be dismissed period and perhaps charged with a hate crime. It was Hamas that attacked Israel.

Agreed!
