Muslim Woman Jailed Over Head Scarf

but most do not.:shrug:
And some Muslim women don't cover their hair/head at all. So ...religion doesn't seem to be the issue here. It's nothing more than a hat or something else that is respectfully removed in most, if not all, courts.

The hat and a religious veil are two very different things.
The issue here is with that judge. The issue is why that woman was arrested, and then released so quickly - shows something is not right... That judge needs to be looked at and I'm sure that is what is going to happen.
It's not a "religious" veil ....millions of Musliim women go without the head covering .....just like millions of Texas don't wear cowboy hats.
Letting the woman go doesn't prove anything except that the judge got what he wanted in the first place ....the woman not wearing the thingie in his courtroom. She defied his orders to remove it, just as he would have asked a man to remove his hat. He had no other agenda that I can see.

Bottom line, there was no law, there was no fucking rule. It was a damn racisit decesion by that judge. Admit it, it is not that hard that there are racist judges all around the country and in every country, the interesting thing is that every one here is trying to make excuses about the fucking law, when there was no law or rule. All depends on a racist judge and he showed his mental state, majority of southerners have this mentality, nothing new but for the first time by a Judge.

Not really. Americans in general hate Islam and are suspicious of Muslims, and they're not bashful about admitting it. This is unfortunate, but it's the predictable result of:
- The Tehran Hostage Crisis
- 9/11
- The people of Saudi Arabia carrying picket signs reading "Death to the Great Satan" every time somebody takes a picture of them
- Muslim cab drivers refusing to take blind people to the doctor with their seeing-eye dogs
- Muslim cab drivers refusing to pick up airport passengers with liquor in their luggage
- The Holocaust Denial Festival in Iran
- Arabic-language textbooks in the Muslim schools in Virginia containing passages teaching them that Christians and Jews are inferior

The judge violated no law. The woman did -- when she decided to act in contempt of court. So why should the judge be "looked at"?
It's interesting that Muslims don't regard the veil having anything to do with religion when it suits their purposes when attempting to argue that Islam is not oppressive, yet it suddenly becomes the center of divine, civil and human violation if disturbed beyond it's so-called "cultural" advantages.
No, the issue is once again Islamic intellectual dishonesty and intolerance and their hypocrisy for double standards.
Of course, no one here on this thread addressed this rather relevant gem from the article:
"When she turned to leave and uttered an expletive, Hall said a bailiff handcuffed her and took her before the judge."

She was merely exercising her religion when she swore at the judge, leave her the hell alone you anti-Islamic bigot.
Americans in general, hate everyone.
Was there actually a campaign by Muslims to not pick up blind people (with guide dogs) or were their just a few isolated incidents here and there (exaggerated by the media) and then lapped up by gullible Americans?
The actions of those that have authority over us need to be constantly scrutinised, when they step out of line, when complaints are raised, when incidents like this come to light - they need to be looked at.
Laws can confuse right and wrong, we have a lot of that these days (e.g. people not able to protect themselves from intruders without risk of going to jail, large businesses and banks allowed to intimidate and threaten vulnerable people etc.), sometimes you have to kick up a storm to make people re-evaluate what is going on around them.
Oh, just great, this shit is now starting up in the USA. I hope they closed those schools and jailed the staff.
What did they do?
By the way, when is that MegaMosque being built in Londonstan?
i guess that's why we created the peace corps, huh?

Where do you get off making such a general and stupid statement like that?

I'm not authoritarian, believe me. I just don't think this episode rises to the standard you have laid out.

The women who have sued to walk into banks wearing a mask.
The Islamic schools who have "requested" exemption from the local standards for science education regarding Darwinian evolution and human biology.
In my town, there was an organized attempt by local Islamic representatives, the political leaders of the local Islamic community, to establish rules for the cabs at the airport allowing Muslim cabbies to refuse all dogs and any visible alcohol or passengers who have been drinking, without losing the coveted place in line.ghost said:
