A Muslim woman has filed a federal lawsuit against the city of Dearborn Heights, Michigan, its police department and police chief, after being forced to remove her hijab following her arrest.

Separation of religion and government. The government must be kept separate from religious associations in order to be equally effective, so she must follow the dress code if she wants the job. Her religious beliefs or associations are for outside of work not while serving the public. (Isn’t that what libs have always said? And yes, I know it’s not the US, but why should a foreign religion make the rules for the government that is not muslim?)
Just finished watching Palin’s speech at the Iowa Freedom Summit and she said the same thing. She said this is our house and if you don’t like it, “Get the h... out.”
All you need is ACLU and a liberal federal judge. More than half of current federal judges are Obama appointees including two on the US Ct.
Charlie don’t surf!
She hasn’t killed herself yet?
I know - how about they find her guilty and then use her adopted religion to impose punishment and stone her?
OMG. All I can say is, “Sou-eee, sou-eeee, sou-eeee!!!” and hold out a handful of grain. The cops may well WANT this porker to remain covered for the sake of public safety...and taste.
This is her second arrest/booking? Anyone know her crimes? Send her to the slammer!
ACLU will claim cruel and unusual punishment.
So in her mind women can take her picture where it will put on record an available for everyone including men to look at. Yeah that makes sense.
And I suppose that they should be able to ware their coverings in jail or prison too. Then no one will even know who they are.
Amend the constitution and ban this region.
This is America, our laws. If you cannot adapt to our culture GTFO.
Literacy is a lost cause.
Fixed it for you. Feds won't do anything.
This human porpoise tells the rest of us what to do.
Allahu Snackbar!!!
Perhaps she should have been given the right to keep her hijab and remove everything else.
I smell a CAIR testing the legal waters.
“....it does not, for instance, allow human sacrifice as a religious practice.”
.
We have already legally sacrificed some 75 million babies.
That is much more than the Old Testament Philistines sacrificed to Baal.
Wow, an infidel touching a believer.
