Police chief urges veil row ca
Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Ian Blair has called for restraint in the Muslim veils debate.
Speaking at a meeting of the Metropolitan Police Authority, he said "too many pronouncements" were causing Muslim women to feel victimised.
Sir Ian also said warnings of civil unrest were not helpful and urged people to "keep things steady".
The debate had not led to an increase in faith hate crimes, he said.

Integrity, excellence needed f
Civil servants need to return to standards of integrity and excellence in order to improve their image in the public eye.
Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi said the only way to overcome negative perceptions of the public service is to continue highlighting the positive traits.
"It's difficult to get rid of (negative) perceptions... you can't do that in just a day, even a year," said the Prime Minister.
"They (the public) will not notice any positive changes that we bring about because of the perceptions they have. So, the best thing to do is to continue serving the people to the best of our ability."
He said good intentions will lead to quality work and efficiency and make the public service a force to be reckoned with and respected by all.
“Civil servants can stand tall and walk tall through quality decisions made and good services rendered to the masses,’ he said when addressing civil servants under the ministry.
Also present were his deputies, Datuk Mohd Johari Baharum and Datuk Fu Ah Kiow, and the Inspector-general of Police, Tan Sri Musa Hassan.
Abdullah, who is also Internal Security Minister, also touched on the public perception of the civil service following disclosure of the results of a poll by the Malaysian Chapter of Transparency International.
The poll showed that the Malaysian public and corporate sectors ranked the police the lowest among government services in relation to integrity and transparency.
Abdullah said such reports and other issues affecting the police would give the public the impression that the police was in disarray.
He said improvements and changes brought about by the police like faster time responses were not appreciated as they were overwhelmed by such perceptions.
On Budget 2008, he urged government departments and agencies to start preparing for it.
"It's already March and we should start preparing the required proposals for allocations. In doing so, we must analyse our plans and what is actually needed before the tabling of the budget in Parliament in September."
Abdullah stressed the importance of the proposals being supported by recommendations from central agencies such as the Treasury.
The allocations proposed should drive ministries and agencies in executing their plans for programmes and projects outlined for implementation next year.
