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.”
MOVE TO PAGE 2:
So American Citizens do not have freedom of religion, or if they choose the wrong religion you want to restrict their rights? How exactly is that freedom?
She’s an American Citizen….where should she be working?
take her uniform away from her shes a muslim
Fire her Muslim $#%&!@*.
Put that traitor on the “list”. She’s another one to watch.
The reason we will never find middle ground is that you are not even attempting to listen what I am saying. We are not even discussing the same thing because you keep wandering off point.
The only thing I said is that you do NOT KNOW her or why she did this…that is my only point in this discussion. A point that you just conceded.
Any other point is a tangent that you have taken. Having said that…your $#%&!@*ogy isn’t correct. Religion has no place in government. She is not the problem here. The fact that christians have interjected their religion into a secular government and then complain when people object to their intrusion. The Pledge didn’t say “under god” until the 1950’s and the Police Officers of the 1940’s were just as patriotic and loved their country without god interfering.
Don Johnson : I am not confused about what you said about Obama! I am not a bigot! I am not the ONLY PERSON that does not want Muslims here! How about we agree to disagree? That’s fair!
Fire her now
Deport its sorry $#%&!@*!
Fire who ever it is.
