Levittown - The U.S. Justice Department has sued Essex County over its firing of a corrections officer for wearing religious headwear.
The suit was filed in federal court in Newark on Monday on behalf of Yvette Beshier.
It claims Beshier was first suspended and then fired by the county for wearing a khimar, or Muslim head scarf.
The suit seeks monetary damages and also to require Essex County to adopt a policy that accommodates the religious observances and practices of employees.

Obama said something in his Cairo speech about how Islamic women should have the right to wear a headscarf. I wondered why he mentioned it at all.

Corrections officer?
Is this a job with a uniform? If so, Hussein and co. really are jihadists.

From my page....As for MUSLIMS... WE NEED TO STOP BENDING OVER AND ALLOWING MUSLIMS TO PUSH THEIR BELIEFS UPON US. IF THEY CAN'T ADAPT TO BEING AMERICAN THEN THEY NEED TO LEAVE ASAP!!!
IT IS NOT THE WILL OF ALLAH THAT THEY LIVE IN THE USA, THEY NEED TO LIVE WHERE THEIR RELIGION OF PEACE IS NORMAL.
MUSLIMS ARE A THREAT TO OUR SAFETY!!!!. OUR CHILDREN ARE OUR FUTURE AND WE MUST PROTECT THEM!!!
Sorry about the caps but I just copy & pasted what I've had written there for a few years. That is my opinion & I stand by it.

Chairman Obama wants all women to wear a headscarf. He wants us all to bow down to him and his false prophet.

A lot of these so-called Muslims are discontented Blacks who have glommed onto Islam. Doing so just perpetuates their victim mentality.
To: luvEastTenn
and what’s interesting history that a lot of the converts forget is that Islam, under some countries, enslaved blacks and still are today.

This is a khimar. It's a garment that Muslim women usually wear only when they are going to pray in the mosque.

They come in different colors but it’s the top part that’s important. It’s longer than a typical headscarf but shorter than a burka. However, most Muslim women only wear them when they’re going to the mosque or in prayer because they are cumbersome.
