GARY, INDIANA — A woman who went to buy charcoal was discriminated against and kicked out of a Family Dollar store for wearing a niqab and hijab, according to a report from ABC 7.

Sarah Safi, 32, went to the store to buy some charcoal for a family barbecue, ABC 7 reports.

“I might have made it 10 steps into the store and I hear the lady behind the counter say, ‘Ma’am, you need to take that off your face or you need to leave my store,” Safi said.

She then began to record the exchange with the clerk on her cellphone. Safi told the clerk she wears the niqab and hijab for religious purposes. The clerk, who identified herself as the manager, still insisted that Safi leave.

“I understand, but you have to understand too this is a high crime area and we get robbed a lot. You need to remove that from your face or remove yourself from the store,” the clerk says in the video.

With her children waiting in the car, the clerk told Safi if she didn’t leave the premises she would call the police.

On her way out, the employee was kind enough to say, “have a blessed day.”

if she covers her face, it’s the same as if she were wearing a ski mask — the owner has the right to tell her to remove it.

This is the same as asking patrons to remove hats and sunglasses or any other article of clothing that hides the face.

Listen to the video.

This bitch is an American! Let Allah handle it as he sees fit. LOL!

OK. I rolled the video forward a bit, and it turns out she's a natural born American disgrace who has spent her life here. Unbelievable!

Let’s vote: Who believes Safi’s story?

Boom.

Absolutely perfect response.

Nobody in a ski mask would be allowed in either.

“... it turns out she’s a natural born American disgrace who has spent her life here.”

Personally, I’m starting to see that as treason. She joined an enemy outfit that is most undeniably at war with us.

And now she’s playing propaganda games in a blatant attempt to cause erosion to our internal defense against that enemy.

And, now with encouragement, she will sue and win a huge chunk of money. Maybe a set up - however,gone are the days when store owners have the right to refuse service. Just ask florists, photographers and wedding cake bakers.

The woman wearing niqab was wrong to pull freedom of religion and freedom of speech cards, at about 110, to challenge the store employee imo.

More specifically, the Supreme Court clarified in United States v. Cruikshank that the states required only the feds and the states, not individual citizens, to respect the personal rights which the states have amended the Constitution to expressly protect.

Corrections, insights welcome.

What if I walked in wearing KKK outfit. We know of incidences around the world where crimes were committed by person wearing this Muslim garb. You walk into a Dollar General covered from head to toe to the point you can’t tell if you’re a man or woman, heck yes, you should be required to expose yourself.

Actually the Islamabit*h took out her cellphone took a photo of the manager - who was female.

She understands how visual ID works very well.

Other than Thieves, Rioters, Protestors and Muslims, who would ever cover up their faces?
