Assistant chief of police, Anita Najiy, created a bone of contention between the Miami Police Department and the Fraternal Order of Police President, Javier Ortiz, after she refused to hold her hand over her heart for the Pledge of Allegiance during a recent promotional ceremony.
Ortiz became livid in seeing Najiy refuse to honor the Pledge, stating that she failed to exhibit courtesy and etiquette that “must be exercised when wearing a law enforcement uniform.”
“If you’re not pledging allegiance to the United States, my question is what country are you pledging allegiance to?” Ortiz asks. “Anyone who isn’t offended by that is not American, because when you become a U.S. citizen, you pledge allegiance to the US.”
Ortiz also states that Najiy’s disrepect comes from her Muslim belief, but that normal “protections” or exemptions generally given in the name of religious freedom and speech doesn´t apply to those in police uniform because “you’re supposed to be neutral.”

She’s an American Citizen that “came from” Miami Florida…no need to send her back anywhere…she is already there 🙂
Get rid of her
See here is the problem Daniel you are so wrapped up in your mythology that you cannot even comprehend the very rational possibility that there are no chosen people because all religions are man-made are wrong.
I would like to see links to legitimate news sources about schools forcing girls to cover their face.
And no I dont think it is ok for ANYONE to rape or behead anyone.
You really don’t get it do you. I don’t agree with christians or muslims or Obama for that matter. I am simply objecting to you thinking that the US has ONE religion and that people owe some oath to your god. That is not true..and that is not how freedom works.
Melinda you cannot possiby be serious? SHE ALREADY HAS SERVED THE COMMUNITY WITH LOYALTY. For 32 years..and you are suggesting that because she didn’t put her hand on her heart for ONE ceremony that she can’t possibly do what she has already done. Do you not realize how irrational and illogical that is?!
BTW…who says she can’t stomach the flag? She did nothing to “disrespect” the flag. She stood at attention and faced the flag.
Miami has the wrong person in charge. Get a new chief.
If she can’t be loyal to our country then she has no business wearing any kind of uniform that represents any order of our nation, be it military or police. Her boss should fire her $#%&!@*. She can’t be trusted.
Her heart was not in it!! Her heart is not in her duty!
Send her to Iran and let her work there as a sex slave or something useful in her culture. She doesn’t belong here in America.
What’s Miami going the way of Baltimore
Then she/he should NOT be a US Police.
