Muslim police leaders are demanding to know why no action has been taken over a leaflet which blames Muslims for the heroin trade.
The leaflet, distributed to hundreds of households in parts of Lancashire, Cumbria and Yorkshire, says people should "heap condemnation" on Muslims.
The Crown Prosecution Service said there was not enough proof it was meant to stir up racial or religious hatred.
The National Association of Muslim Police said the CPS advice was flawed.
No criminal act
The leaflet says Muslims are "almost exclusively responsible" for the manufacture, transport and sale of heroin, 95% of which it says comes from the Afghanistan and Pakistan region.
It says the process of "naming and shaming" Muslims will have a "positive effect" on bringing about the abolition of the heroin trade.
The Crown Prosecution Service said the contents of the leaflet were "racist" but has advised police that no criminal act had been committed.
The National Association of Muslim Police said the CPS advice gave a green light to those behind the leaflet to continue distributing them.
Lancashire Police said it was "monitoring" the situation, adding that no-one had been arrested.-linkobviously what the leaflets dont tell us is that under the taliban heroin production was almost eliminated and the record production highs have been as a result of our invasion of afghanistan and in particular the fact that the british army is in control of the largest heroin production area . it has been a failure of our foreign policy.
another issue is the anomaly under tha race laws, if this had been directed at sikhs and jews this leaflet would be breaking the law, because it is directed at muslims who do not have this added protection this is viewed as racist but not a criminal offence.
clearly the recently passed religious laws arent working.
whilst muslims have asked for this lack of equality be addressed our politicians have sought to deny any attempt of community cohesion.
now why would this be?
