Need I say More

Kirpans are deadly weapons. Click Here.

One question which needs an answer.
When the restaurant owner Mr Syed contacted the "Metropolitan Police" who according to a nephew Zaki Syed "The police ignored him".
Is this the same (MET) Sikh division that vented their outrage at An Garda Síochána for their refusal to knuckle down on the dress code for Turbans?
Here is the law as quoted by Green Party law Spokesperson who supports Sikhism in Ireland ciaran.cuffe@oireachtas.ie

In the United Kingdom it is legal under the Criminal Justice Act 1988 (section 139) and Offensive Weapons Act 1996 (section 3 and 4) for a Sikh to carry a kirpan with a blade for religious reasons (other reasons allowed by the Act are cultural or work related reasons). The Criminal Justice Act 1988 safeguards the rights of the Sikhs to carry the Kirpan as it is deemed a necessary part of their religion.
Here is Irish law that Mr Cuffe omitted.
18.—Section 4 of the Vagrancy Act, 1824 (as extended to Ireland by section 15 of the Prevention of Crimes Act, 1871), is hereby amended by the deletion of "or being armed with any gun, pistol, hanger, cutlass, bludgeon, or other offensive weapon," and "and every such gun, pistol, hanger, cutlass, bludgeon, or other offensive weapon,". Under the Offensive Weapons Act Part 111 9. Possession of Knives There is no lawful reason for a Sikh whether he/she is native to Ireland, a naturalized citizen,a ECC member, a visitor,tourist, a member of the London Sikh MET Police force and a foreign Sikh agitator to be in Ireland wearing or bearing arms such as the Kirpan (knife) The common excuse of Sikhism is that this is required by their religion and that this blade is never to be used by them unless they have a need. In other postings on this blog I have given references of the senseless violence Kirpan wielding Sikh Saints in The Army of god will take advantage of this right in Western countries. So join with me and call on the Irish Government to protect us from Sikhism.
