A Muslim-American woman says she was unfairly singled out at a Kent credit union for wearing a hood, and that a supervisor threatened to call 911 if she didn't take it off.

.....Sound Credit Union has posted on its Facebook page saying it did not handle the situation well, is apologizing, and will make sure it never happens again.

It also stated, "It is clear our training needs to include more empathy and sensitivity to all cultures, because as a credit union, we believe in equal treatment of all people."

Thoughts? She is upset some other customers were supposedly helped while wearing ball caps, but she was told to remove her hood.

Also, she was wearing, apparently, a hijab AND a hood.

Why would any sane person want to be around these primitives?

[BenLurkin]

The bank tellers and the customers are more important than her fashion choice of “stick-up chic”

It was Friday and she was doing her jummah real strong since it was close to ramma-lamma-ding-dong but she went to the bank (owned by Jews) to make her car payment (including interest). Bad bad muslima.

Get attacked publicly, spew out a rote, meaningless, PC apology.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Banks around here routinely post a notice on the door instructing you to remove hats and hoods. It’s video security and nothing more.

If she wants the muzzie culture, she should move to Saudi Arabia where she cannot even drive.

I'll bet you that their PR is in the hands of a Millenial female who graduated from a Liberal public university.

Just some perspective: Kent is in King county, Washington.

Washington State voted 54% for Hitlery.

King county went 72%!

Was her brother or Havana not accompanying her?

It took a while, but I found her driver's liscense pic:

“Muslim American”, oil and water, same thing.

[miss marmelstein]

Why? My bank has a clearly written sign saying “No sunglasses or hats.” I think this is fairly dumb but if we have to do it why not the muzzies?

"It also stated, "It is clear our training needs to
include more empathy and sensitivity to all cultures, ..."

I am tired about having to be forced to care and have more empathy
for other alien cultures. Enough already!
If these foreigners want "empathy and sensitivity" shown to
them regarding their weird, alien cultures, then by god
return to where you came from!! What are you doing in
a white , Christian, Western society forcing your peculiar
culture on us? Go back to where you came from! That's where you
can get you empathy and sensitivity. Leave us now!!

[Dilbert San Diego]

Ya, and at my bank, they also ask people to take off sunglasses. These regulations are applied equally so liberals can't say anything. They aren't​ singling out anyone. They are inconveniencing all of us.

Anyone with an IQ greater than 70 knows that you don't *ever* enter a bank wearing *any* kind of headgear.

[VikingMom]

Longtime banker here - the rules about appearance altering items are very specific and are for the protection of the employees and other customers!

A baseball cap does NOT hide the person’s features, which is why no one was concerned about them. A hijab does NOT hide anyone’s the person’s features and if she had been wearing that alone there would have been no problem either.

It was the fact that she insisted on wearing a hoodie type of garment, pulled up and obscuring her face that caused the bank officials to request that she remove it! This is NOT an issue of religious discrimination - it is the same protocol that all banks have had forever but now someone is trying to score political points off of it!

[MayflowerMadam]

She’s either a Muslim or an American. Or a freak.

The muzzie won (again)

Mad Mo’ didn’t have a car. Therefore cars are haram.
