What the heck is SXSW?

I suppose the reason for removing the hijab is to ensure the identity of the athlete.

Has anyone ever tried to cheat in this regard?

Exactly. The penalty for apostasy is death. Why aren’t we talking about this, among many other unacceptable aspects of the belief system? It is at best a dangerous cult.

Take off the hijab, lady. Your hijab offends me. It represents female oppression, Sharia Law, submission, beheadings, Crucifixions and death to infidels.

South By Southwest is essentially the Austin Mardi Gras with lots of country music, BBQ, people everywhere and BEER.

The hijab is just the scarf worn on the head.

Why would she need a photo badge? SXSW is open to the public.

Maybe she was wanting to attend the place where fellow Muslim Obama was going to be speaking... that might explain the photo badge.

I bet all these hipsters who organized SXSW would be against voter Photo IDs.
