Attorney in hijab defends call for other women at 9/11 hearing to wear 'appropriate' clothing

The defense attorney who wore a traditional Islamic outfit during the rowdy arraignment of the accused Sept. 11 terrorists is defending her courtroom appeal that other women in the room wear more "appropriate" clothing to the proceedings -- out of respect for her client's Muslim beliefs.

Cheryl Bormann, counsel for defendant Walid bin Attash, attended the arraignment Saturday dressed in a hijab, apparently because her client insisted on it. She further requested that the court order other women to follow that example so that the defendants do not have to avert their eyes "for fear of committing a sin under their faith."

I’m surprised she didn’t just fly a plane into the
court room. She should be ashamed of herself,
but then she’s a lawyer already.

The concept of religious freedom doesn’t seem to appeal to religous fanatics.

Give me an f -ing break. Did KSM dress in Jewish clothing at Daniel Pearl’s trial? Oh...thats right. Daniel Pearl did not get a trial . He only got his head chopped off.

Wow. Sounds like a real problem.

But an easy solution just occurred to me:

I think some Hooter’s girls ought to be recruited to serve tea and coffee during the trial. Why aren’t these terrorists being defended by uniformed JAG officers including women?

WHY,WHY, WHY do we keep this madness going? This gooberment (and I include George W’s in this)has crapped all over themselves to make sure we don’t offend these barbaric lunatics!!! It’s our own citizens like this idiot lawyer and another broad from the past Lynne Stewart and many more that have made this a three ring circus.......the USA being the clowns!! Throw ‘em all including our bleeding heart Americans who revere terrorists feelings in a pit and stick a match to the whole bunch of them. DAMN this makes me madder than hell!!

Someone needs to ask her to dress appropriately and have a presence without also imposing their sharia constitution and koranic arguments. This is a American courtroom.

Her defense arguments will be their behavior is acceptable according to Islamic law and needless to say... will have Barry’s support.

I’d do one better and wear a Lady Gaga Ham suit to the proceedings. These muslims need a new planet.

I cannot believe how incredibly stupid that is. I mean Dehydrated stupid. Dehydrated-rock-hard stupid. Stupid, so stupid it goes way beyond the stupid we know into a whole different dimension of stupid. It is trans-stupid stupid. Meta-stupid. Stupid collapsed on itself so far that even the neutrons have collapsed. Stupid gotten so dense that no intellect can escape. Singularity stupid. Blazing hot mid-day sun on Mercury stupid. You emit more stupid in one second than our entire galaxy emits in a year. Quasar stupid. Nothing in our universe can really be this stupid. Perhaps this is some primordial fragment from the original big bang of stupid. Some pure essence of a stupid so uncontaminated by anything else as to be beyond the laws of physics that we know.

I wonder if she thinks her clients respect her even a teeny bit, even in a hijab. It surprises me they even accept her as their attorney, knowing what they think of women in general.

Another demonstration of how arrogant these Muslim cutthroats are. As far as I’m concerned, it’s like asking the court at the Nuremberg trials to wear Nazi uniforms.

Finally! A good use for the crazy outfit.

You’re a genius!
