Muslim woman arrested in Miami protest forced to remove hijab for booking photo
NBC 'News' ^ | 6/19/20 | Wilson Wong

A Muslim woman arrested during a Black Lives Matter protest in Miami was forced to remove her hijab for a booking photo, which a Muslim civil rights advocate called a “severe violation of religious freedoms.”

It also prompted supporters to start an online petition demanding justice for Alaa Massri, 18, one of seven people arrested June 10 during a peaceful protest against racial injustice. The arrests occurred after demonstrators spray-painted the Christopher Columbus and Juan Ponce de León statues in Bayfront Park, the Miami Police Department said in a statement.

Protestors covered the face and hands of Columbus in red paint and spray-painted “BLM” and “George Floyd” at the base. The demonstrations turned chaotic when officers arrested the vandalism suspects. The police department said in a news release that some demonstrators assaulted officers and damaged a police vehicle.

“City of Miami, we support peaceful protests but there will be zero tolerance for those who hide behind the peaceful protestors to incite riots, damage property, and hurt members of the public or our officers,” department officials said in a statement.

I’m curious in a Muslim country where they treat women like 2nd class citizens, how do they identify someone for arrest?

>> for a booking photo, which a Muslim civil rights advocate called a “severe violation of religious freedoms.”

You are being arrested. You are being detained. Your rights are being restricted by law.

You can still pray. You can still worship. You can still abstain from pork. You cannot conceal your face for identification purposes as a criminal.

From now on I am going to identify as a black, muslim woman transexual who is listed to be a caucasian male and catholic.

According to the USSC, I can do all of that and get away free from any situation.

So your identity is a black cloth with two eyeholes. That’s some real freedom you got there...

What this country needs are a LOT of “Here’s your sign.” Can we really have this many stupid people running free and loose in our society? Someone needs to go into the sign manufacturing business.

Great idea. That muslim hag needs a sign that says

“Yeah, that’s right Mohammed did have slaves. But it’s OK because I’m a minority”

You can’t properly frisk anyone who has on multiple layers of clothes or head coverings. The media is so dumb.

If she demands Muslim law, let her be beaten to death as is only fitting for her to be un escorted in public.

Otherwise, take note, you are a guest in this country, and you do not get arrested for “peaceful” protest.

Protest in your Muslim hell hole, not here.

Let me be first to say it: “This thread is useless without photographs.”

Because, it would embarrass the apprehended criminal further.
