ORANGE, Calif. — A Southern California county will allow jailed Muslim women to wear headscarves after settling a lawsuit with a woman who claims that deputies violated her religious freedom by making her remove her hijab.
The settlement agreement signed by the county last week and released Monday specifies that Muslim women must be provided a private area to remove their headscarves after arrest and must be provided with county-issued headscarves to cover themselves when they are in the presence of men.
The county, which did not admit wrongdoing, will also pay $45,000 in damages. Plaintiff Jameelah Medina will get $10,000 after subtracting attorney fees, said Hector Villagra, director of the Orange County office of the American Civil Liberties Union.

The way the Dimocrats are going, they will be bringing back sheets and hoods as formal wear.
step three - establish a Muslim enclave within the infidel nation and work to maintain isolation and differences with the population as a whole.
Step four involves using the infidel nation’s cultural and governmental mechanisms against the infidel himself - a good example is the current low-level jihad taking place in Canada against Mark Steyn and others for “hate speech” against Moslems.
Step five is violent protest against encursions by outsiders against the infidel - which has taken place in France as “disaffected youths” went on a crime and car-burning spree two years ago, or the Dutch found out when a filmmaker decided to show Islam as it is.
Step six is insistence upon Islamic law and culture as equal to the culture and law of the infidel nation.

And can one think of what would be done if Real Christians asked. NOTHING
Unsafe for employees and other inmates to allow people to wear head covering in jail.
One baby step at a time, that’s how we got to the present sad state of affairs in which the USA may well elect a foreign Marxist as president. And those same baby steps, if not challenged and stopped, will lead to an America that twenty years from now will no longer be recognizable as the bastion of freedom and hope that it was for over 200 years.
No hyperbole above.

Add what you said to the U.S. Treasury Department doing a ‘Sharia Finance 101’ and you get a decidedly ugly picture.
$35,000 in lawyer fees out of a total settlement of $45,000?
That seems to be the real motivation for the ACLU here.
They have a law degree, why don’t they do something actually useful with it and start hanging around emergency rooms.
So these women cannot even show their faces to other women?
You are in PRISON. For doing WRONG things. You lose your basic rights to freedom and privacy. Can’t own a gun either.
What about the Muslim’s religious right to commit Jihad?
Aren’t you going to provide a county issued suicide belt and drop them off at the nearest mall?
Possession of a Bible in some muslim countries is enough to GET you thrown in prison. They certainly won’t give you one to read there. Complain about it and you’ll get the death penalty.
There can be no separation of church/mosque and state when the HEAD nation of the Islamic empire is funding Islam’s expansion in the west. They fund the mosques here.
There is no cultural exchange. There is no tolerance for diversity. It is strictly a one way transfer of Islamic supremacist ideology into the West.
Tax the hell out of it, it is funded by A state and is not due religous protection.
It’s okay with me. It makes it easier for their enemies inside the prison to strangle them.
Look at the bright side—maybe they’ll hang themselves.
Lice-ridden, I hope.
Just sent a [real] nasty note to our Board of Supervisors.
Our county is just about the last place I would have expected this PC nonsense.
Adam Gadahn cronies, I presume. ;-)
