An Anaheim woman filed a federal lawsuit against the Orange County Sheriff's Department today, claiming her religious rights were violated when deputies forced her to remove her hijab, or head scarf.
Deputies insisted Souhair Khatib, 33, who is Muslim; remove her scarf when she was being booked into a county jail in connection with a probation violation. Islam dictates that women must wear the hijab, which covers a woman's hair and neck, for reasons of modesty.
Khatib was seen by deputies and other men from her mosque without her covering, causing her extreme emotional distress, her lawsuit says.
"For Souhair, to have her head uncovered in public particularly in the presence of men who are not part of her immediate family is a serious breach of faith and a deeply humiliating and defiling experience," the suit says.

Khatib, a U.S. citizen who emigrated from Lebanon, along with her husband, Amro Khatib, 32, were in Orange County Superior Court's north courthouse on Nov. 1, 2006, to seek an extension on their community service. The couple had pleaded guilty in June 2006 to a misdemeanor violation of welfare fraud and were sentenced to three years probation and ordered to complete 30 days of community service.

WELFARE FRAUD.
Yup. Up until the 1970s pretty much all Muslims except Wahhabists agreed that the modesty required in the Koran could be fulfilled by covering your whole body except your hands and your face.
Some believed that your hair had to be covered (kerchief-style headscarf), some didn't.
Then with the rise of radical Islam in the late 1970s, radicals everywhere started insisting that women cover their faces Saudi-style.
That’s what I thought. Do these “journalists” even research before they write?
She must be really ugly.
Of course! Don’t be silly. :)

SEATTLE — An Everett man who helped disguise a 2004 arson as a hate crime was sentenced to three years in prison Thursday.
He also will be required to pay $200,000 restitution for damaging the building that housed the Continental Spices market in south Everett.
Naveed Kahn, 25, testified against the owner of the store, Mizra Akram, 40, who also was found guilty by a judge in February and was sentenced to more than four years behind bars. .....

For me, blowing up innocents and crashing airplanes into buildings is a serious breach of my faith and a deeply humiliating and defiling experience . . . and I haven't even been convicted of welfare fraud. So can I sue the Muzzies?

Hooey, what you’ll get is a bunch of two-ton Tilleys in spandex.
And that would be a SIN!
Tell her to chill and have a Famous Dave’s ‘pulled pork’ sandwich!
Go back to your thrid world country if you want to practice a third world lifestyle. America should not conform to islamomaniacs....
Wouldn't do any good. Men would still look. O.K., they'd ogle.

Chopping her hands off would certainly eliminate the need to look under her hijab.

Too bad she wasn’t strip searched in front of security cameras.
The law suit only serves to emphasise how sick and deranged the tenets of islam are. It wasn't the sheriff who 'humiliated' the woman, it was her twisted islamic beliefs that caused the 'humiliation'. The real irony here is that Muslims are so easily humiliated and outraged by the slighest inkling of anything un-islamic, they are the kings of Pride and bigotry, which reveals a complete lack of real humility in their nature. There is nothing more dangerous to the fate of humanity than Islam.
even if she wins, her male relatives should just stone her to death... gotta keep the faith right {/sarcasm...
Being arrested for welfare fraud is not humiliating and demeaning, but uncovering your hair is.
R-i-i-i-i-g-h-t....!
Game the system, sister!
LOL!!!
