NYPD Gets 'Islamic-Culture Training'
Police in New York are getting "Islamic-culture training" to prepare them for dealing with Muslims in the city, home to 16 percent of the nation’s Muslims.
About 100 members of the NYPD’s hostage negotiating team spent a day at a local college learning about mosques, prayer rituals, holidays and other facets of Islamic life.
The instruction was designed to give negotiators tips on dealing with any hostage situation involving Muslim perpetrators, according to the New York Post. |
