.....She's in the small market of Rock Island, Illinois in the Quad Cities. She works at WHBF and she is trying to make it in this business. She has been rejected for on air jobs time and time again.

She wasn't rejected because of her talent, she was rejected for what she was wearing.

Tahera Rahman wears a hijab and as you clearly know, seeing a Reporter wearing a hijab...

I guess it'll be cool for people to begin wearing large crucifixes now if they believe in Jesus. I look forward to them being called courageous.

Note to all TV news stations: If you want to hire a section of the populace that is under-represented as newscasters, try hiring conservatives.

I guess 9/11 means nothing to them. I just wonder if there were a Christian sect like jihadists and were perpetrating all these atrocities around the work would the MSMLSD cozy up to them?

I guess I don’t understand how a devout Muslim female can even be a news reporter in the first place. If the religion forbids going out of the house without a male relative, and forbids interaction with other men, etc then how can a truly devout Muslim do the job??

What marketing MBA dreamed this policy up?

My children will live to regret this insane tolerance for a murderous and totalitarian political and religious ideology.

My guess is this TV station is hoping for the “look at me” gimmickry of Attention Whores.

“Look, we hired a muslim. Aren’t we cool?”

Little by little the muzzies are moving forward. I think back to what Dearborn, Michigan USED to be not so many years back and then move my thoughts to England and similar places.

This will spread throughout the country, until all our “news” hours will be with face-covered savages.
