A St. Cloud lawmaker says a bill that would ban any kind of headwear in a driver's license photo is a matter of public safety. But some Muslims say they have a religious right to cover their heads.
State Rep. Steve Gottwalt says banning headwear would make it easier for law enforcement to identify people and it would make it fair for everyone.
But Suban Khalif says Muslim women wear a head scarf nearly 24 hours a day as part of their religion, and taking it off even for a few minutes is a big deal. Khalif and other Muslim women say their facial features should be enough for law enforcement to identify them.

Hypocrites. In some Muslim states, women aren't even allowed to drive, period!
“It’s been my observation that muslim women are incredibly poor drivers. I believe that some of that comes from all their headgear impairing their peripheral vision...JMHO.”
The impaired vision is usually the result of the beating they just got back at the house...
Mohammedanism is incompatible with Western Culture (but thank Allah for them we are no longer a Western nation).
The worst drivers are always those whose last vehicle either had four legs or was powered by their own.
If they won’t take off their stupid headscarfs, they don’t get a driver’s license. How hard is this? Driver’s licenses aren’t a right.
Camel...nose...tent...
They’re apparently lucky to have a head to put the scarf on
>Muslims dislike bill banning headwear in license photos (MN)<
Is there anything these people do like of the West? Get a Saudi driver license, dammit. (And stay there forever.)
They need to get over it
Move back to Islam.
By their presence here, they are admitting that thier culture has failed them in at least one aspect. Otherwise, they would not be here.
And the face covered by the veil makes for pretty poor ID.
Hopefully they get a lot of that.
This one is simple.
Driving is a privilege, not a legal right. One may choose not to abide by the driving LAWS and simply not drive.
Fine then. Don’t drive. Use your feet or take the bus.
Methinks they are the proselytizers.
I swear, here in the DC-area, the driving is absolutely third-world. No order. No paying attention. No playing by the rules (Lanes? Who needs lanes, I'll just turn left from the far right lane).
I swear, it isn't the usual “angry white male” that is doing this, it is the muslim drivers, those with a foreign flag hanging from their rear-view, etc.
“Hopefully they get a lot of that.”
Well, between the beatings and the “honor killings” I wonder how “The Religion of Peace” keeps cranking out those kids. Do they keep proselytizing dupes like BO’s Mom?
I could just imagine if I wanted to cover my face for my CCW photo.
Why the hell can’t we have this kind of common sense???
“Why the hell cant we have this kind of common sense???”
Dems and RINOS???
who cares what the muzzies “like”...
if they don’t like it here, they can go back to whatever hellhole they came from...
shezzzzzzzzzzzzzz...doesn’t anyone “get it”...
the muzzies won’t be happy ‘til we’re all wearing a towel on our head.
If you don’t like it ...then GO HOME!!!!
Don’t come back we don’t need you here to corrupt on an American’s soil. You have done enough to our people.
(NoCoGop’s wife message)
To win more land for Allah and Mohammed.

I would imagine that they are free to go back to their countries where they can wear it photographed and all.
The west pays better for sitting on your a*** and waiting for the next government check.
if they took their religion series, the womenfolk would have to ride in the back of the car and not drive at all(like in Saudi Arabia)
Dislike? I didn't know that there was any emotion other than Complete Outrage in Islam.

I hate the United States for making our women take off their head sacks for drivers licenses. I also hate the United States for letting women drive.
boohoo....If you don't like the LAW...Get the HELL out of the Christian nation of the USA!!! Islam guys why are you letting your daughters and wife DRIVE It is against your beliefs!! You should behead your daughter if they are asking for the family camel!! /s
When they stop beheading Christians and Jews, and flying planes into buildings, and blowing up buses carrying Jewish children to school, I say let them cover their faces on license photos.
“But some Muslims say they have a religious right to cover their heads.”.....
While you’re at it......cover your mouth also!
If Moslems wish to drive cars (and in Saudi that's not allowed) they have to conform to the rules of the land, not the mystical twinklings of their little minds.
I imagine the Sikhs might have a problem with this as well, even more so.
Wow, sucks to be them, huh... Luckily for them they don't have a religious right to drive. No conflict, no problem, case closed...
Well then they don’t need to drive. Driving is not a right it is a priviledge and if you won’t obey the rules for the photograph perhpas you just shouldn’t drive?
“But some Muslims say they have a religious right to cover their heads.”
Does that mean if I claim I am Amish that they can’t photograph me at all? Just wondering?
“Does that mean if I claim I am Amish that they cant photograph me at all? Just wondering?”
Go for it.....
;-)
Great question.....
I’m confused... you need a drivers license to ride a CAMEL??
Why don’t we just ban Muslims from getting drivers licenses? There problem solved.
That would work for me. A lot calmer drive home from work.......
“Does that mean if I claim I am Amish that they cant photograph me at all? Just wondering?”
Amish don’t need drivers licenses. They don’t drive.
“Do nuns have to remove their habit to be photographed for a license?”
Only if they want to drive.
If they allow this, I’m going to wear a football helmet for my picture. My religion allows me to protect my head while driving. By the way, I just converted to the protect your head completely religion.
