Same as you do if the officer is wearing a uniform or plain clothes. Ask for ID.
huh? ID? Can't ID someone with their face covered could be anyone.
Why would police people be wearing burqas just because they're muslim? They don't now so why would they in future?
well....could be a serial murderer disguised as a copper but really an alien from the planet serial, you just never know
I will be going on the march but some will keep their prejudices as they seem to enjoy them.
Australia's first national mosque 'open day' aims to clear up prejudices
Islamic leaders say they hope opening up mosques to the wider community will allow people to ask questions directly and find out more about the religion
Nine mosques around Australia will open their doors later this month as part of a new National Unity Day, inviting non-Muslims to take tours and ask questions of Islamic leaders to clear up “prejudices and mutual misunderstanding” in the community.
The first national mosque open day, to be held 25 October, will be followed by a march in 20 cities organised by an interfaith community group, Welcome to Australia.
The first National Unity Day events were announced by Muslim, Christian and Jewish community leaders at Sydney’s Pitt Street Uniting Church on Wednesday.
The president of the Lebanese Muslim Association (LMA), Samier Dandan, said the day was about “demonstrating to the wider community that our mosques are open”, an openness he hoped would be mirrored in the general public.
“We want to say, open up your heart, open up your intellect, do not allow ignorance, don’t allow those bigots out there to dictate what you think,” he said.
“If you have a question, go straight to the source, do your own research, find out what a Muslim stands for, what a Christian stands for, what a Jew stands for.
“I guarantee that you that what you’ll find is that 99% between the different faiths is common,” he said.

Welcome to 2014. You have been keeping up with the discussion have you?
Don't have an answer?
We'll slow the pace down a bit so you can catch up. Take your time and when you're ready to kick off the training wheels we'll pick up the pace a little.
Familiar background? What is a sign about Australia doing in Mississippi? ^^ (see above image)
