Communist police system

“Communist Oriented Policing? A publication by: Phillip Worts, (2000)

There is a myth that communism is dead and that the cold war is over.
Nothing could De Further from the truth, The problem is that few people
today understand what communism really i1s and just where the cold war
Battle lines are actually drawn. Crack open a dictionary And look up the
term “Dialectical Materialism. You should find something like this:

“A philosophy founded by Karl Marx… which forms the basis of Communist

doctrine: it combines the Materialistic idea of matter over mind with the
Hegelian dialectic in which opposing forces are constantly being reunited at
a higher level.”—Lexicon Webster Dictionary

But that definition might beg the question, “What is the Hegelian dialectic?
For modern man, the answer To that question is epic. The Hegelian
dialectic has profoundly impacted the world in which you live.

What is communism?

The Dialectic: Fomenting the Revolution

The concept of the dialectic has been around for a long time. It is simply
that of opposite positions thesis (position) s. Antithesis (opposite position in
traditional logic, if my thesis was true, the all other positions were by
definition untrue. For Example, if my thesis is 2 +2=4, then all other
answers (antithesis) are false. Georg W.F. Hegel the nineteenth century
German philosopher turned that concept upside down by equalizing Thesis
and Antithesis. All things are now relative there is no such thing as absolute
truth to be found Anywhere. Instead, “truth” is found in synthesis a
compromise of Thesis and Antithesis. This thee heart and soul of the
consensus process.

This is diametrically opposed to the Judeo- Christian world-view prevalent

in the Western world for the better part of two millennia that held that God
existed, that He existed outside of the material creation and that man had a
moral obligation to Him and His laws. God was Transcendent and thus
truth was absolute and Transcendent, outside of our ability to manipulate It.
This all changed with Hegel and modern man was born. Man could not
challenge any authority and position, even God. Since there is no such
thing as absolute truth, “my truth is just as good As “your truth”’, so don’t
tell me what to think or how to behave. As Nietzsche, the “God is Dead
Philosopher, would later say, “There is absolutely No absolute.” Now 2 + 2
can equal 5, or 17, or Whatever you feel is right. (Hint: This is why our
schools are failing. All teachers are certified on Benjamin Bloom’s work. He
said “…we recognize The point of view that truth and knowledge are only
relative and that there are no hard and fast truths which exist for all time
and all places”).

At about the same time that Hegel was passing From the scene, Karl Marx
caught the revolutionary fever. He drew heavily from Hegel (the dialectic)
and Feuerbach (materialism). Where the other philosophers left the
discussion, but with a twist. He scornfully stated, “The Philosophers have
only interpreted the world in Different ways. The point, however, 1S to
change It.To CHANGE the WORLD was to become the warp and woof of
Marxism. In the Marxian interpretation of reality, God had been abandoned.
Alone in his universe, man was to fill the vacuum Left by religion with
materialism. Religion was be enemy of all progress. As he wrote in 1843,
religion is the opium of the people. No longer bound to a relationship with
his Creator, the He picked up Social relationship of man to man became
the principle of Marx’s theory. It 1ollowed that these Social relationships,
which necessarily involve Conflict, cause the changes in human progress.
As the opening words of the Communist “The history of all hitherto existing
society is the history Of class struggles. Note the dialectic reasoning: the
clash of opposites produces synthesis and change. Man, freed from
religious restraints will carry the revolution (change via conflict) forward
until all are equal in a manmade utopia on earth. To that end, the Manifesto
concludes, “Working Men of all countries, unite!

To summarize Marxism:
 It is Dialectical Materialism, or, in simpler Terms: a God-expunged
human reasoning process.
 REVOLUTION is its goal, to “change the world”, Marx said.

The CHANGE is to be from a Theistic World view (Old World Order) to a

Humanistic World view (New World Order). The term New World order was
a popular euphemism for world communism for years. Did not invent it.
When it started to take on negative connotations, it was dropped for the
nicer sounding label, Global Governance.
 Change is to occur through CONFLICT, (Crisis/ problems/Issues).

 The Cold War. Where is the battlefield? Change Happens: The Re-
culturing of America
Even as the worldwide communist revolution got underway in earnest
around the globe, a rift was forming Within Marxist intellectual circles.
Around the turn oh the century there was a growing the Within this
movement that a better way to change the world is not abruptly and
violently at the point Of a bayonet, (traditional Marxist revolution), but rather
it should be done slowly and incrementally by transforming individuals and
their cultural institutions. Then you can control a country as effectively as it
you conquered it militarily. In Fact, this method is preferred because one
does not have to rebuild bombed out cities and dig all those mass graves!

The home for this new wave of dialectical Marxist thinking became the
emerging “science” of socio- psychology. It may come as a surprise to
many to Discover that virtually all of the pillars of modern psychology were
humanistic utopians who believed that there is no God, that mankind can
and should be manipulated (for its own good, of course), and that all social
problems can be solved by the proper reprogramming of man’s mind. This
would lead to an era of peace and prosperity based On diversity, tolerance
and unity. Most of their work dealt with the details of human behavior, but
Their over-arching view was that of transforming society (echo the
revolution). Hence, they came to be known as “Transformational Marxists”.

One such group was the Fabian Socialists, who took their name from the
Roman general, Fabius. Fabius, it will be remembered, was confronted with
Hannibal’s invasion of Italy. Hannibal with His elephants held the
advantage or Superior forces, but was far from home and supplies. Instead
of confronting his foe head on, a battle he would have certainly lost, Fabius
utilized hit-and- run tactics. Harassing his enemy and wearing Him down
incrementally piece-bypiece over time until Hannibal capitulated, Fabius
won the war. Fabian Socialists adopted this strategy in

Their goal of world socialism. In a similar vein the transformational Marxists

advocated a “slow march through the institutions, as famous. Italian Marxist
Antonio Gramsci would say Gramsci’s theories cannot be overstated in
this. Regard, as this strategy has became synonymous with his he Gramsci
strategy is the With his name” (i.e. the Dat 5Momeny “War of Position, (1.e.
the battle ground is for the mind and culture) vs. the “war or Maneuver”, i.e.
traditional battlefield warfare with guns and bombs). Gramsci engendered
the anger of his communist counterparts in Moscow when he basically told
them they were doing it all Wrong. Gramsci died in prison under Mussolini
regime, but his strategy has become the strategy for changing society.

Meanwhile, in Germany, a group of some 21 marxist Socio-psychologists

gathered in Frankfurt And formed the Institute of Marxist Research.
Perhaps that was a little too obvious for their opponents and they renamed
it the Institute for social Research. When Hitler rose to power, In Of these
men fled to America and continue work here. Kurt Lewin, J.L. Moreno,
Theodor Adorno, Erik Fromm, Max Horkhiemer and others found positions
in American universities and had their work funded by pro-Marxist
foundations.

Kurt Lewin is of special interest for this discuss Because it was he who
went to M.I.T. and Conduct the research involving group dynamics that t.
The foundation for Total Quality management of at the risk of
oversimplifying how the proceed group dynamics works, it could be
summarized. As a method of belief and behavior modification all using
dialectic-reasoning skills (remember e the truth is relative), in a group
setting. It utilizes inherent fear an individual person has of being alienated
from the group. By use of a change Or “facilitator, individuals are herded
toward consensus by compromising their position For the sake of “social
harmony.” According to Lewin, “A Successful change includes, therefore,
Three aspects: UNFREEZING the present level, MOVING to the new level,
and FREEZING group Life on the new level.”

This is precisely the technique with which the communists brainwashed

American POWs, the only difference being they could accelerate the
“unfreezing phase with physical torture. In group dynamics the pain is not
physical, it’s Emotional pain. POWs frequently described their long periods
in isolation as worse than some of the most brutal physical torture. Isolation
from the group is a powerful behavior modification weapon.
Transformational Marxists such as Kurt Lewin refined their weapon for the
new battlefield: Using group dynamics to invade the culture to affect the
paradigm shift.

The weapon looks like this:

 A Diverse Group (“Diversity” needed for Conflict)
 Dialoging to Consensus (Dialectic process)
 Over a Social Issue (Problem/Crisis/Issues)
 In a Facilitated Meeting Environment using facilitator/change agent)
 To a Predetermined Outcome (Paradigm shift)
This strategy is so powerful that it could change the human behavior
overnight when faced with facts of life and scenarios, to decide within the
group or with the group as to what is good and how to do it.

 The Marxist Trojan Horse: TOTAL QUALITY.MANAGEMENT

TQM is an organizational transformation strategy

That uses:
 Group Dynamics
 Facilitator/Change
 Planning Occurs in councils) “Problem Solving
 Systems Management (ISO 9000)

Today every institution are using these devices to Gain unconditional

obedience and submission of People under their control. These strategies
are liberalizing issues that are very instrumental in controlling the social
behavior from the least to the most powerful. Even in the academe,
students are made to follow procedures or flow chart destined to meet a
goal. These are also applied in the field Of law enforcement where during
their training it is mandatory for them to be submissive and obey orders
without any reservations, decoding the term “Total Quality Management s
impossible without an understanding of the marxist foundation upon which
it was built use the word “decoding’ because so many of the dialectic
concepts are masked by nice sounding double-talk.
TOTAL Holistic, Gestalt, Global QUALT people. (Also slang, short for TQM

The facilitators, the agent change.

With this background we arrive at our current application of the dialectic in

our nation. I would like to now focus on the role that your LOCAL.

LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY has in the “re-.Culturing of America. Your

local beat cop has a Special part to play, and he doesn’t even realize It. Not
only has TQM change agents restructured many of the police departments
in America, they are now in a position to turn the police themselves into the
facilitators of the community through a program called COPs, or
Community Oriented policing. COPs is a federally funded program
administered through the U.S. Department of Justice. What is COPs? The
most succinct Definition I found was in a DJ brochure. Now we said, we are
against communism but we submit ourselves from Quality Management
systems as well as IsO or standardization, where alll these emanates from
the Marxists principle of corporate obedience. Come to think of it
gentlemen and ladies

COMMUNITY POLICING WHAT IS IT?

Shift in philosophy about police duties vs. community responsibilities to a
team concept of TOTAL QUALITY MANAGEMENT of the community. Re-
identifying the police role as a FACILITATOR in the community.
Transformation from a constitutionally empowered local police force
performing their duty to keep the peace to that of a change agent working
within the community to affect a Marxist paradigm shift. Pay close attention
to what the influential German Marxist Georg Lukacs had to say about who
the facilitators are in the community: “The institutions in socialist society
which act as The facilitators between the public and private realms are the
Soviets. They facilitators are congresses diverse groups, which facilitate
the debate [dialoguing to consensus] of universal problems social issues in
the context of the everyday.

 Leaders of the community (law enforcement, government, business,

education, health. Civic, non-profit, medical, religious, etc.)
Collaborating to identity problems in the community, what the
significant impact on people will be, and suggesting Solutions to
Those problems. (This is POP, Or Problem Oriented Policing).

 Identifying common ground, where all factions of a community can

work together for the COMMON GOOD of the community in a
broader problem-solving approach. Forming a partnership between
police and the rest of the community where each is accountable to
each other and the community as whole.

Note the reference to the “common good, the ever-present ideal in the
communist state, individual rights become subordinated to the so called
greater good. This raises serious concern over the role of the police officer
in society as “partner with community groups and soc1a service programs,
which due to the blurring of Lines of responsibility, are unaccountable to the
public voters.

To further understand the philosophy of COP's One does not have to look
further than the la socio-psychologist Dr. Robert Trojanowicz formerly the
director of the National Center Community Policing at the University of
Michigan he is considered the father of Community Orient Policing
 consider the following selections from his writing social control is
most effective at the individual level THE PERSONAL CONSCIENCE
IS THE KEY ELEMENT in ensuring self-control, Refraining from
deviant behavior even when it Can be easily perpetrated.”
  The family, the next most important unit affecting social control, is
obviously Instrumental in the initial formation of the Conscience and
in the continued reinforcement Of the values that encourage law
abiding Behavior.”

This is an astonishing admission of the Fundamental dynamics of crime

prevention and social disorder. The most conservative thinkers alive today
couldn’t have better articulated what makes for domestic tranquility in any
society. Our founding fathers were keenly aware of this fact. James
Madison cited the fact that our form Of limited government 1s “wholly
inadequate without personal conscience as the internal social control. So
then, in an effort to solve America’s moral chaos, we are going to restore
the personal conscience by encouraging accountability to a higher authority
(ten commandments and Strengthening the family, right? Don’t be silly,
says Dr. Trojanowicz.
 Unfortunately, because of the reduction of influence exerted
neighbors, the extended family and even the family, social control is
now often more dependent on external control, than on internal self-
control.”
Since that “unfortunate” breakdown of conscience and the family structure,
the social order is now pendent on “external control”. Read that, The State
Unfortunately indeed! Dr. Trojanowicz Affairs the dilemma of the current
state of Affairs n his paper Community Policing and the challenge of
Diversity
“In addition to raising questions (dialed Reasoning questions all absolutes)
about national identity, increasing diversity also raises questions about how
we define human ‘values ‘and Morality. (Absolute values of right and wrong
vs Relative values). Many strongly held traditional beliefs derive from
Judeo-Christian traditions, blended with faith in the intrinsic virtues of family
and the American Dream of the United States as a meritocracy where
those who are willing to work hard will succeed. Can this model encompass
the experience of the growing number of Muslims, Hindus and Buddhists
among us (What, Muslims Hindus and Buddhists aren’t willing to Work
hard?) Does it reflect sufficient sensitivity to the concerns of people of
color, women and Gays?

Traditional Judeo-Christian beliefs (with their absolute truths and morals)

are out, diversity and relative values are in. If we are not to restore the
personal conscience and the family, what is his solution? He continues.

 A community of interest generated by crime, disorder and fear of

crime becomes the goal to allow community policing officer an entry
into the Geographic community.”

If you did not fall out of your chair with that line, you weren’t paying
attention. Social chaos the GOAL for the transformational Marxist. In crisis
of crime and disorder is the door for to police officer as facilitator/change
agent to the community (the “client”, or the latest term Customer) and to
initiate the paradigm shift Even though these social architects plainly ad
What is most vital in making for a crime community, they have absolutely
no intention of restoring “individual conscience” or going back to Repairing
the traditional family. On the contrary, for the past sixty years these socio-
psychologists Have been introducing these very dialectic concepts into our
school system with the intent on demolishing personal conscience. Is there
any doubt they have succeeded? For them, there is no going back:

 “They Americans) may not yet recognize that there is no ‘going back
to basics’ in education. Training manual for Goals 2000.

 “If Equality of Opportunity’ is to be become a part of the American

Dream, the traditional family must be weakened.” Socio-psychologist
James Coleman.
  “In order to effect rapid change, one must mount a vigorous attack on
the family lest the traditions of present generations be preserved.”
Sociopsychologist Warren Bennis in his book, The temporary Society.
Bennis’ book “Leaders, was recommended reading at one time when
one was promoted to sergeant on the S.D.P.D., Wherein He identifies
the leaders in any organi1zation as Agents of change”.

Dr. Trojanowicz admits in no uncertain terms That is what his research is

all about:

“It should also be noted that the continuing interest in finding a viable
definition for the term unity has not merely been an intellectual exercised.
The theme underlying much of the Searches that once you can identify a
community, you have discovered the primary unit Or society ABOVE the
level of the individual and the family and be mobilized to take concerted
action to during about POSITIVE SOCIAL CHANGE.”

Just in case you doubt the Marxist nature of their concepts of community
transformation, Trojanowicz quotes Saul Alinsky, the extreme Marxist
change agent of the ‘60’s who authored Rules for Radicals. Alinsky
proposed:

 “we begin viewing community through the prism of issues (Issues

problems=crisis=conflict) which, In essence, constitutes the most
urgent kind of Community of interest.

 “What community policing does is put an officer in daily face-to-face

contact with the community, so that he or she can have the input of
the community in setting priorities. Unlike police programs of the past
 where police administrators or so-called community leaders set the
police agenda, the community policing movement Encourages
average citizens to become involved.

Formerly, the police administrators were Accountable to the elected

officials who were accountable to the voters (representative democracy).
This new Paradigm that Trojanowicz describes is exactly what marxist
Georg Lukacs termed “participatory democracy and is nothing more than
the Soviet style council. The united States Constitution was the law of the
land (absolute authority) restraining government intrusion into the rights of
the individual. The framers designed it to insulate the private realm (the
individual) from Public realm (government). Allow me to repeat Lukacs:

 The institutions in socialist society which act as the facilitators

between the public and private realms are the Soviets.

By practicing the dialectic, we are removing Only barrier between a

tyrannical government and the private citizen. Your neighborhood cop is
now that facilitator, the Soviet. Why a police officer?

 “In the role of the community ombudsman/liaison(i.e. facilitator), the

community policing officer also acts as the community’s link to other
public Agencies. The police are the only governmental agency open
24 hours a day, which makes them the ideal public agent to begin
regenerating community spirit.”

a Facilitated Meeting To a Predetermined Outcome,

 Conclusion: Useful idiots?

When Lenin was consolidating the Bolshevik Revolution, he wrote how he
would implement the communist bureaucracy without hardcore Marxist
believers.

While the elite rulers of his inner circle understood The structure he was
building, Lenin said he would exploit the natural vanity and ambition of
people to forward his agenda without them knowing what they were really
doing. Eager to gain his favor and to enhance their political careers, they
would fall all over themselves trying to promote his agenda. He called these
types or people Useful ldiots. Before you brand every police Officer you see
as an undercover Marxist, understand that most of them comprehend little
of what they are participating in. In reality, most officers intuitively know
that something is wrong in their organization, but they play the game rather
than risk damaging their career. Sadly, they constitute a vast army of
“useful Idiots.”

I’m all for “promoting mutual trust and operation between the people and
the police and “empowering neighborhoods. These “positive social changes
are the selling points for Community Policing. reality, those appealing
ideals camouflage the vehicle of Marxist change.

Who asked the Citizenry they wanted their Communities transformed and
their government reinvented? Who asked parents if they wanted their
children to learn with their feelings instead of learning facts? Who asked
your local police officers if these wanted their beliefs and attitude
manipulated? No one asked because if someone did they would have
been run out of town. Instead, using dialectic-reasoning skills, they have
schemed to Seduce, deceive and manipulate every community in the land
into a utopian vision of so-called “unity in diversity. These social engineers
have no intention of taking everyone back to individual conscience within
the family structure in order to preserve domestic peace and tranquility.
That would mean a return to recognizing and submitting to the Higher
Authority. This “vision has failed whenever It has been tried. By
participating in the dialectic, we Have defined human reason; traded in God
and truth for relative values and consensus; and abandoned Individual
liberty and inalienable rights for the common good and diversity. In the final
analysis, we are destined for Totalitaria, and worse, the loss of our souls.

The terms “communism”, socialism”, “Marxism, new Word Order etc., may
be worn out and abandoned. The names change, because deception is
one of the rules or the game. Many erroneously believe that the cold war is
Over and that we actually won. But the revolution still very much alive and
America is losing. The culture war is raging in our schools, our workplaces,
our ne and our churches. Antonio Gramsci would be pleased if he could
see just how effective his strategy has been.

RELIGIOUS INSPIRED POLICE SYSTEMS:

1. Those countries of Islamic government (mutawwiun)

Islamic religious police is an official vice squad which enforces religious

observance and public morality on behalf of national or regional authorities
based on Its interpretation of sharia. The practice is generally justified with
reference to the doctrine of hisba, which is based on the Quranic injunction
of enjoining good and forbidding wrong, and refers to the duty of Muslims to
promote moral rectitude and intervene when another Muslim is acting
wrongly.

In pre-modern Islam, its legal implementation was entrusted to a public

official called muhtasib (market inspector), who was charged with
preventing fraud, Disturbance of public order and infractions against Public
morality. The office was revived in Saudi Arabia, and latter instituted as a
committee, aided by a volunteer force focused on enforcing religious
observance. Similar Institution later appeared in several other countries
And regions. Powers and responsibilities of Islamic religious police have
varied from country to country, with the latter commonly including enforcing
lslamic

Dress code and prayer attendance, as well as preventing ng consumption

of alcohol and pubic interactions seen as Infringing on Islamic sexual
norms.

Islamic religious police organ1zations have been controversial both locally

and internationally Although these institutions tend to have Support from
conservative currents of public opinion, their activities are often disliked by
other segments or the population, Especially liberals, urban women, and
younger people. Reforms made by Saudi rulers in 2016 sharply curtailed
the authority of the Saudi religious police. Iranian president Hassan
Rouhani has criticized Iran’s religious police, but he does not have control
over it under the constitution. In the Nigerian state of Kano, the religious
police have had a contentious relationship with the civil police force. Some
incidents where the religious police were widely viewed as overstepping
their mandate have received broad public condemnation.
 History: Hisbah and Muhtasib
The classical doctrine of hisba, associated with the Quranic injunction of
enjoining good and forbidding wrong, refers to the duty of Muslims to
promote moral rectitude and intervene when another Muslim is acting
wrongly.

Historically, its legal implementation was entrusted to a public official called

muhtasib (market inspector), who was charged with preventing fraud,
disturbance of public order and infractions against public morality. This
office disappeared in the mode era everywhere in the Muslim world,
including Arabia But it was revived by the first Saudi state (1745lo and
continued to play a role in the second (1823-0 Due to its importance within
Wahhabi doctrine. And the third Saudi state, the most zealous followers of
Saudi were appointed as muhtasibs, but their sever Caused conflict with
the local population and fore Pilgrims.

In response, Committees were established inn Riyadh and Mecca in 1932

to check their excesses. In 1976 the committees were united under an
official of Ministerial rank, acting under direct royal command. The unified
Committee for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice has been
assisted by volunteers, who enforce strict rules of hijab, attendance of daily
prayers and gender segregation in public places. With the rising
international influence of Wahhabism, the Conception of hisba as an
individual obligation to police religious observance has become more
widespread. This has led to the appearance of activists around the world
who urge fellow Muslims to observe Islamic rituals, dress code, and other
aspects of sharia, with vigilante incidents in London (2013-2014) and
Wuppertal, Germany (2014) resulting in criminal charges. In Iran, hisba
was enshrined in the constitution after the 1979 Revolution as a “universal
and reciprocal duty, incumbent upon both the government and the People.
Its implementation has been carried out by official committees as well as
Volunteer forces (basiJ).
Elsewhere, policing of various interpretations of sharia- based public
morality has been carried out by the kano State Hisbah Corps in the
Nigerian state of Kano, By Polisi Perda Syariah Islam in the Aceh province
of Indonesia, by the Committee 1or the Propagation of Virtue and the
Prevention of Vice in the Gaza Strip, by the Taliban during their 1996-2001
rule of Afghanistan, as well as by other groups.

Activities by country

 Iran: Guidance Patrol

 Guidance Patrol (Persian: is the main Islamic religious police, or vice

squad the Law Enforcement Force of Islamic Republic of ran. It was
established in 2005, succeeding previously defunct institutions of
similar nature. Its mission is to impose Islamic dress codes and
norms of conduct public, particularity regarding the hijab of women
(but Also some men) who are deemed improperly dressed according
to the dress code. In addition, the patrol also enforces Islamic codes
of conduct in public, such as preventing the mingling of unrelated
men and women Without a male guardian (mahram 1or the latter,
and Preventing other types of behavior that are un-Islamic. I has
been viewed as a scourge by urban women, particular those from
more affluent circles, who try to Push the boundaries of dress code.
President Hassan rouhani has expressed opposition to the Guidance
patrol, but it does not fall under his constitutional jurisdiction.

 Saudi Arabia
Committee for the Promotion of Virtue and the prevention of Vice (Saudi
Arabia) and Freedom of religion In Saudi Arabia

The Committee for the Promotion of Virtue and The Prevention of Vice,
also referred to as mutawa, Mutaween by other similar names, are tasked
with enforcing conservative Islamic norms of public behavior, as defined by
Saudi authorities. They monitor Observance of the dress code, gender
segregation public spaces, and ensure that shops are closed durl8 prayer
times. The institution has found general support among conservative
currents of public opinion, although it is widely disliked by liberals and
younger people.

In some incidents, the Saudi religious police were Broadly condemned in

the country, including Cat of breaking into private homes on suspicion or
behavior. Perhaps the most serious and widely criticize incident for which
they were blamed occurred March 11, 2002, when they were accused of
prevent schoolgirls from escaping a burning school in mecca because the
girls were not wearing headscarves abayas (black robes), and not
accompanied by a male guardian.. The firemen who arrived to help, were
also guard males. Fifteen girls died and fifty were injured in the fire.
Widespread public criticism followed, both internationally and within Saudi
Arabia. The Mutaween have also been criticized or ridiculed for use of
flogging to punish certain misdeeds, banning Valentine’s Day Gifts,
arresung prlests Ior saying Mass, and being stafied by “ex-convicts whose
only job qualification was that they had memorized the Qur’an in order to
reduce their sentences.

Under the Saudi program Saudi Vision 2030, crown Prince Mohammad bin
Salman has introduced several reforms to the religious police, as well as
extended liberties for women: The religious police may only work during
office hours, cannot detain or make arrests, and may only submit reports to
civil authorities. In addition the Mutaween can no longer restrict women
from Driving, nor can they prohibit women from attending sporting events.

 Ministry for the Propagation of Virtue and the prevention of Vice

(Afghanistan

Afghanistan’s Committee for the Propagation of virtue and the Prevention

of Vice was first instituted by he 1992 Rabbani regime, and adopted by the
Taliban when they took power in 1996. Taliban’s department was modeled
on a similar organization in Saudi Arabia.

It was closed when the ‘Taliban was ousted, but the chief justice of the
Supreme Court or Afghanistan reinstate It in 2003. In 2006 the karzai
regime submitted the Legislation to create anew department, under ministry
for Haj and religious Affairs, devoted “Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of
Vice”

 Sudan

The Community Service Police serves as the Sudanese religious police.

Originally called the Public order Police, the enforcement agency was
established in 1993 by President Omar al-Bashir. The Public Order Law
was initiated by the Sudanese government in the state of Khartoum in
1992, and later applied to all states. The name was changed in 2006.
The Community Service Police is in charge of enforcing regulations on
certain personal behaviors, Including indecent clothing, alcohol
consumption, offensive acts and seduction, among others. In June 2015,
10 female students were charged With “indecent dress” after exiting their
church. All of the women were wearing long-sleeved shirts and either skirts
or trousers in December 2017, 24 women were arrested at a private
gathering for wearing trousers. They were later released punishment can
include flogging and the payment of Fines. The Public Order Court, which
handles such case is a parallel court system which exercises summary
judgments. Many Sudanese resent the activity or religious police as
oppressive and arbitrarily intrusive although it is supported by Salafists and
other religious Conservatives.

 Nigeria

Kano State Hisbah Corps

The Kano State Hisbah Corps is a religious police force in Nigeria’s

northern Kano state respond the enforcement of Sharia. It was established
bye the state government n 2003 with the institutionalization of formerly
local and privately maintained Hisbah security Nits. It operates under the
jurisdiction of a Hisbah board composed of government officials, secular
police officers, and religious leaders, and is highly decentralized with local
units Supervised by committees composed of officials and citizens in the
communities in which they operate. The Hisbah Corps does not have
authority to execute arrests and are allowed to carry only non-lethal
weapons for self-defense.

Hisbah officers who observe violations of Sharia are expected to alert the
Nigeria Police Force (NPF). The duties of the Hisbah Corps include
arbitrating a voluntary basis, verbally chastising violators of Sharia, and
maintaining public order at religious celebrations. His bah are also trained
to assist with Disaster response operations. The Hisbah Corps has Had a
contentious relationship with the NPF, with the Latter frequently refusing to
cooperate in enforcement Of religious law, and on multiple occasions
arresting Hisbah members for trespassing private property.

Some observers have compared Hisbah activities in Nigeria to vigilante

groups which have operated in other parts of the country, partly based on
local tradition and partly as a response to failings of the police. However, as
of 2004, Human Rights Watch was not aware of killings Hisbah members,
in contrast to other vigilante groups like the Bakassi Boys in the southeast
and the Oodua people’s Congress in the southwest of the country, Who
have Committed numerous extrajudicial killings and Other abuses.
