Minority groups call for NYPD chiefs resignation over Islamophobic movie

The 72-minute film shows Muslims shooting Christians in the head and conveys a message that the community cannot be trusted. It also shows a doctored photo of an Islamic flag flying over the White House,car bombs exploding,executed children lying covered by sheets. Its message is that the true agenda of much of Islam in US is to infiltrate and dominate America.

The group said Kelly had lied to the community by initially denying any involvement in the film.

The decision to take part in the film,as well as show the film to nearly 1,500 NYPD cadets,raises serious concerns about Kellys ability to serve and protect minority groups in NYC, the group said.

The New York chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations along with the Muslim American Civil Liberties Coalition MACLC and other minority and civil liberties groups said the revelation about the use of the video during police training comes following a year-long series of mis-statements and retractions from Kelly and Browne that indicates a total disregard for the civil rights of American Muslims and a complete lack of respect for one of the citys largest religious communities.

This controversy has moved beyond an issue of poor judgement in the use of an Islamophobic training film to an issue of the integrity of public officials, said CAIR-NY Civil Rights Manager Cyrus McGoldrick.
