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.”

Then fire him! He is not an American !His alliance is with his religion which wants to desroy citizens of this country! Muslims are doing nothing but causing problems all over the world!
Anybody who can’t pledge allegiance to this country doesn’t need to be in any position of authority
Read the article if you are going to comment. It is a woman. Jehovah Witnesses also do not salute the flag. Why do I hear no outrage about this? Another case ignorance running rampant.

If you can’t pledge allegiance to this country you shouldn’t have any position of authority. That’s the problem

She should be in jail
America, please do not allow this to happen. We must return to “…unto the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God…” If we do not stand up “TOGETHER” we will lose our nation to these violent terrorist. Obama is allowing this to happen dealing behind our backs with Iran, Syria, and other socialist groups whom hate us. Please, please, please! Blacks, whites, latinos, and all of you who love America and its freedom, stand up! Lets not let Obama give Iran nuclear arms, and lets not let this government accept 100,000 Syrians without being screened, for there are lone wolf terrorists infiltrating amid the Syrian exodus.
This story is about a year old
I know of that issue as well. However this article is concerning Muslims thus that’s what I commented on.
