While I believe strict adherence to all the tenets of Islam is contradictory to democracy, we should all realize that there are Muslims in this country that love America and wouldn't do anything to harm it. They are part of the community and should be treated as such unless they prove otherwise. I think it's wrong to compel attendance at such an event, but it should be encouraged as an opportunity to do community outreach. A good police officer will embrace the community they patrol, as the citizens are a good source of intel on criminal activity in the area. If you aren't willing to talk to the people on the street, you're not going to a very effective cop.</blockquote>
