This is the story right?

Sorry, couldn´t find an English article.


To clarify this a bit: The purpose of the imams is to strenghten the moral authority of the police. I think it´s an attempt to teach young muslims that obeying the law is their religious duty.

If it works, fine ...

But you are mistaken if you assume that ...

- the policemen did this because they fear for their lifes (more than usual)

- the imams are given any powers of a policeman

- the police stopped prosecuting crimes committed by muslims
