In Oklahoma, a police Captain was ordered to attend an event at a local mosque. The event called itself "Law Enforcement Appreciation Day". That sounds reasonable enough, but the Captain looked into it:
"There was no agenda on the invitation flyer—nor was one created by City police officials—for the invited officers to discuss crime or crime related issues of any kind. Consequently, the Islamic event was not a function of what is known as “Community Policing,†nor did this event involve a “call for service.†In sum, it was a private event hosted by an Islamic religious organization."
and refused to attend, based on his religious beliefs, convictions, and conscience. He was then punitively transferred, subjected to an IA investigation, etc:
In Kansas, a Sheriff canceled his department's planned participation in an anti-terrorism training course, at the last minute, in response to pressure from an Islamic group called CAIR (who has previously had at least 5 of its employees and board members "arrested, convicted, deported, or otherwise linked to terrorism-related charges and activities"):
At one time, the California chapter of CAIR had this poster on its website, saying: "BUILD A WALL OF RESISTANCE - DON'T TALK TO THE F.B.I.":
