April 3, 2007 -- The NYPD appointed a new Muslim chaplain yesterday, filling a two-year void left after his predecessor resigned amid disclosures that he had a criminal record. Imam Khalid Latif, 24, who currently serves as a chaplain at NYU, was chosen as the second Muslim chaplain in the department's history after an "extensive search" process, said Police Commissioner Ray Kelly. "For a young man, he has an impressive list of accomplishments," Kelly said of Latif, who holds a bachelor's degree from NYU in Middle Eastern studies and a master's from Hartford Seminary. Latif, an Edison, N.J., native whose family hails from Pakistan, said, "It is my hope that I can use this position as a means to educate not only the members of the New York City Police Department about truly what Islam stands for, but also the New York City community as a whole." Latif succeeds Izak-El Mu'eed Pasha, the department's first Muslim chaplain, who resigned in June 2005.

Lovely. What about the members of the NYPD who celebrate Wiccan and Pagan rituals? Will they get a NYPD Warlock assigned to them as well? How about the Satanists or Vampires who wear a badge? Aren't they represented too? Somebody, quick, call the ACLU! People aren't being fairly represented within the NYPD ranks. I smell a lawsuit!
