A University of Colorado student who started wearing hijab after converting to Islam is fighting the Boulder County Jail's insistence that she remove her headscarf for a booking photo, saying that to do so would violate her religious beliefs.
Maria Hardman, 19, of Boulder, reported to the jail Wednesday to do the paperwork for a two-day work crew sentence that was supposed to be served this weekend. But when a jail detention officer told her to remove her headscarf for her mug shot, she balked.
"It's stated in the Koran in two or three places that believing women should wear the veil, except in the company of close family members," she said.
Hardman said she spent three hours at the jail while her lawyer tried to convince officials to let her take the picture with her scarf. She eventually was allowed to leave the jail without taking a picture at all. She said she was told she would be found in contempt of court for being out of compliance with her sentence.

I’ll bet her parents are proud. Not!
But don’t you know all laws are beneath them, they are the selected perverts for mohams child pornography animal beastiality course called Islam...
Does jail strip prisoners of all head scarves?
Converting to Islam until the next trendy thingy comes along.Keep eye on Hollywood.
I know a young woman in this area who `converted to Islam’ recently: Forty years ago she would have become a `Moonie’ or joined a Manson family or the Hairy Krishnas.

It isn’t a rag.
Its a sheet.
Because we have politicians who want them here and who plan to have more come in every day.
They are here BECAUSE they hate the West and it is their very intention to destroy it.
Liberals have often portrayed deeply religious Christians as hypocrites in books and film. That is safe for Christianity is currently a fairly peaceful religion. I wish Hollywood had the courage to portray the hypocrisy of Muslims as passionately. A hypocrisy exists in Islam that is vast and dangerous. Hollywood especially lacks the courage to speak of it for the Muslims would kill them both financially and literally for speaking the truth. Islam can’t stand under the light of truth. The same filmmakers and authors who praise the courage of those who took a moral stand about past injustices have no such courage.
The cops should have called in a TSA agent. So, which is it going to be; the easy way or the hard way? That would teach her.
>She eventually was allowed to leave the jail without taking a picture at all.<
.
Will the same jail give a non-Muslim the same treatment?
Give her 10 years naked in jail for refusing!!!
Want to bet Bolderwon’t give in to her demands?
Or, what are the odds that Bolder won’t give in to her?
Once again islam wins.
Just for laughs, do you think that she would have gotten the same treatment [sent home] if she has announced that she was a Fundamentalist Christian?
If she’s reading the perverted guide to being in submission then she should be held at GITMO.
Just one more self loathing spoiled American hating leftist.
Everyone must adjust to her distorted self image.
What a waste. Now she is portraying herself as ‘educating’ the criminal justice system on how to treat her with respect.
My disgust knows no limit.
Having my fingerprints taken is against my religious beliefs.
