Specifically, even non-Muslim policewomen must do this. From the Daily Mail (via Atlas Shrugs), here's the latest on Absurd Britannia:

Women police officers are being issued with headscarves to wear when they visit a mosque.

They are expected to put the scarfs on shortly before they enter the mosque, in keeping with Islamic custom.

There are two versions - one matches the black of a police officer's uniform, while another goes with the blue uniforms worn by community support officers.

The headscarves are being given out by Avon and Somerset Police, and have the force's emblem sewn on.

Oh, how touching. Incidentally, do most policewomen there typically enter mosques like their male counterparts? Oh wait, this is the UK, so it shouldn't be surprising at all.

Islamic custom expects women to cover their head inside a place of worship.

During an official visit last year, the Queen wore a headscarf to tour the crypt and caverns of an historic Islamic shrine in Turkey.

And when Her Majesty does it, you know something's wrong. In fact, something is wrong with the fire department too:

This year, the fire service unveiled full-length skirts, hijab headscarves and long- sleeved shirts for Muslim women recruits to wear in fire stations and for events such as school trips.

Will they be able to handle fires in houses with that gear? Good grief, what a joke. Here's more from the Times:

The £13 headscarves are embroidered with the West Country force's name and logo, and come in two colours — black for police officers and blue for community support officers. A spokeswoman insisted that they were not intended purely to cater for Muslim cultural sensibilities but were multi-faith.

"They are designed to be used in any place of worship and can be used to cover the head or the shoulders. For example, plain clothes officers could use them to cover their shoulders in a Catholic Church, or they can be used to cover the head in synagogues," she said.

Is this some sort of attempt to imply that the Church and Synagogue condone steps similar to Islam, and thus villify/discredit them? In the Judaist religion, women don't have to wear a head covering like in Islam, and the Church doesn't have such requirements either. Just what are they getting at?
