A hairdresser went on trial in Norway on Thursday for refusing a Muslim client wearing a hijab, in the first case in the country to go to court over the Islamic head covering.
Merete Hodne risks up to six months in prison for religious discrimination for turning Malika Bayan away from her hair salon in Bryne, a small town in southwestern Norway, in October last year. […]
The 47-year-old hairdresser told the court she saw the hijab as a political symbol representing an ideology that frightens her, rather than as a religious symbol.
“I see it as a totalitarian symbol. When I see a hijab, I don’t think of religion, but of totalitarian ideologies and regimes,” she told the judges, cited by daily VG. …

May God bless her!
Agreed!
She’s correct and should be able to refuse service to anyone she chooses.
I wish her luck and hope she beats this bogus charge. This is the kind of thing that gets politicians off their butts to write laws that protect the people and not just the terrorists.
Of course that’s assuming they are working for the people and not their own selfish interests.
Why would a Muslim woman who wears a sack over her head worry about how her hair looked?
The fact that this became a court case makes me think it was a deliberate provocation from the start.
Her husband might beat her up, if it didn’t look beautiful for him.
does the judge have a name?
if yes, what is it?
If possible have large windows so men walking by can see uncovered women’s heads.
One day, if we’re not blown off the planet, she’ll have a statue erected in her honor.
They must put there money where their mouth is:
In the case of the baker targeted by gay-marriage activist that would be prominently posting on every wedding cake, the box the cake is delivered in and the vehicle delivering it "A Percentage of Every Sale Donated to {a group opposing gay marriage}" (and actually making those donations).
In the case of the hairdresser signs outside their store and throughout their store the same posting of their donations to a group opposing the invasion of Sharia values and people.
Ditto for all other business owners who would fight for their liberty and values against the cultural Nazis (Gay, Muslim or whatever) targeting them.
There would be virtually no likelihood that those activists could stomach patronizing a business openly supporting those opposing their activist agenda.
Tell the judge you are convinced it is the new KKK outfit, as worn by the grand kleagle’s wife
Meanwhile in the UK...
Probably not, but having bricks thrown through the shop window a couple of times a week would soon grow old...
She’s doomed. She told the truth.
On trial. Prison. The muzzards have already won. They just have to pop out their babies and wait a few years. Then the crosses will disappear from the flags of Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Switzerland, and Great Britain.
How do you fix someone’s hair that is covered up to begin with?
Remove the sheet.
Hijab may or may not be political (Islam is a political theocractic ideology) but keffiyeh/kufiya certainly are. They are a sign of solidarity with “Palestine”.
A few years ago there was an article about the British police letting a muslim officer change his assignment because he refused to protect the area around a Jewish building (embassy?).
