`Prank' gets teen lesson in tolerance Displacing a Muslim woman's scarf leads to sensitivity training
David Huffman told police it was just a prank gone wrong: On April 22, at a McDonald's in Tinley Park, he tapped a Muslim woman on the head, nearly pulling off her headscarf.
The woman, a young mother with her children, didn't see it as harmless. She was scared and embarrassed; her faith had been attacked. She told police, and they called it battery.
But in a surprising twist, a Cook County circuit judge did not fine or jail Huffman, who pleaded guilty. He was instead ordered to undergo sensitivity training at the downtown Chicago office of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, the nation's largest Muslim civil rights organization.

What's the fuss? The kid should just refuse to go to the class. The judge will then hand down a penalty for battery. Case closed.

If he had knocked off a Jewish kid's yarmulke or yanked away a Catholic's rosary, it would still be stupid prank, bordering on assult, deserving whatever humiliating punishment was meted out. It is even worse that she had her kids with her.
The kid is a thug, I have no sympathy. Smacking a little diversity training on him is a good idea. He should have been fined too.
To: Jack Wilson
Makes me mad!
My culture always portrays people wearing masks as BAD guys. Westerns, when I was a kid, conditioned me to think that way. Gangster movies show bad people wearing masks to conceal their identity as they commit a crime.
The heck with Muslim tradition and religion.
The judge should be horse whipped.
Or maybe should receive sensitivity training about American culture.
As far as CAIR: They are a front group for a terrorist organization.
Best described as "Major Scum Bags"
I hope I have not violated any copy rights by posting the excerpts. The articles (mostly) get kind of long.
Know your enemy!
Omar Ahmad, Chairman Emeritus
"The IAP was founded by Mousa Mohammed Abu Marzook, a senior political leader of Hamas, and the organization is credited with publishing the actual Hamas charter."
"At the behest of then-IAP President Omar Ahmad, Awad met with him (Ahmad) and Rafeeq Jaber (Ahmads successor and current IAP President) to discuss the IAP branching out in another direction. That direction was CAIR."
"Just three months after the infamous I support Hamas statement, in June of 1994, the IAP three incorporated the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), in Awads words, to bridge the chasm of ignorance between Muslims in America and their neighbors. Nihad Awad became the groups Executive Director, Omar Ahmad took on the title of Chairman of the Board, and Awad solicited his friend and colleague from the Bosnian Relief Committee, Ibrahim Hooper, as CAIRs Communications Director." ---------------------------------
Ahmed, Parvez, Chairman, CAIR
"The conviction of a Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) state operative is but the latest apparent link between that Islamist organization and Islamist terrorism. On April 13, 2005, Ghassan Elashi, founder of the group's Texas chapter (CAIR-Texas) as well as longtime associate of CAIR's top leadership and beneficiary of CAIR fundraising and support was convicted of laundering money for Islamic terrorist organizations from November 1995 through April 2001." ---------------------------------
Dr. Ahmad Al-Akhras, Vice-Chairman, Cair
"An attendee of the Stop the Terror Rally sponsored by the Council for America-Islamic Relations Ohio held at the Federal Courthouse in downtown Columbus, Ohio, on Friday July 28 says she was twice assaulted by CAIRs National Vice-Chairman, Dr. Ahmad Al-Akhras, when she asked too many questions......." ---------------------------------

"ordered to undergo sensitivity training at the downtown Chicago office of the Council on American-Islamic Relations"CAIR looking for "Lily Whites" for the next attack.
This kid needed to keep his mitts off the woman.
But, to send him to that den of Islamofacist support at an impressionable age is asking for trouble.

"her faith had been attacked"
Give me a frickin break..............moslims are not a religion and they sure as hell don't have any faith, unless you count the faith that the Western Civilized world is going to be destroyed by political correctness.

I agree with you. As evil and deceptive and enslaving as I believe Islam is, the kid was being a punk and had no business putting his hands on ANY woman he didn't know in a McDonalds.

You're right, he should have been fined rather than be exposed to the likes of CAIR. We can only hope he won't come out a home-grown terrorist.
