A University of Colorado student who started wearing hijab after converting to Islam is fighting the Boulder County Jail's insistence that she remove her headscarf for a booking photo, saying that to do so would violate her religious beliefs.
Maria Hardman, 19, of Boulder, reported to the jail Wednesday to do the paperwork for a two-day work crew sentence that was supposed to be served this weekend. But when a jail detention officer told her to remove her headscarf for her mug shot, she balked.
"It's stated in the Koran in two or three places that believing women should wear the veil, except in the company of close family members," she said.
Hardman said she spent three hours at the jail while her lawyer tried to convince officials to let her take the picture with her scarf. She eventually was allowed to leave the jail without taking a picture at all. She said she was told she would be found in contempt of court for being out of compliance with her sentence.

Just throw it on the floor and tear that bag off it’s head.
“”Make her give the appropriate Koran references to back up her assertions””
I would love to see them....See my last post - supposedly not required at all by the Koran but by the many different cultures in that evil belief system. It cannot be called a religion.
Yep! She is pretty stupid for embracing the tenets of this cult!
You just know shes going to eat that kitten.
If a non-muslim tried this, three big deputies would hold them down and take their picture along with any ancillary charges for resisting authority.
What better way to rebel against mommy, daddy, American tradition and Christianity? Join up with the cult that America is at war with.....
She’s just a screwed up, naughtly girl who needs to be very careful about what she’s doing. Anything for attention.
They keep pushing the envelope of “tolerance” of Islam. They may find that pushing that envelope is like tightening bolts. You can keep on tightening right up to the point that it snaps off, but once it does you can’t just back it off a little and quit there.
Sounds like the way people raise their rebellious kids ...say No, No, No, then let them go anyway..
I’ve seen generic american women marry moslem immigrants and stick it out to the bitter end - they had no where to go after the third child. Too bad there’s no one to tell them it’s not a good idea.
Demon-in-training.
LOL she was arrested for DRUNK DRIVING. drinking is not allowed in Islam ... some 'observant' Muslim she is
OK dummy, which is it - two times, three times or more. You’re supposed to know this crap. Cite chapter and verse, if you can.
And no one with half a brain waits until their BAC is .19 BEFORE asking whether the punch is spiked or not. Didn’t anybody ever tell you that you shouldn’t get in/on a motor vehicle and start driving, while intoxicated? Plus, how do you expect anyone to respect you when you’re drunk.
She claims she was tricked into drinking...
This woman is an American College student who converted to Islam.
My wish for her is that she finds a nice Muslim man who will beat the ever loving crap out of her daily , knock her up with a couple of kids then run off to Saudi with the kids and leave her here crying in her beer.
Good luck lady, perhaps the guy wont kill you in an honor killing before he leaves.
Doesnt the quron state that if a woman is out of line that her husband or a close male relative should beat her until she is as not to bring shame on the family? Certainly she must believe in that?

She’s pictured on her twitter page, sans scarf.
Ohh yea
If she is so intent in doing what the koran says, then she is a threat and should be held.
