GET OUT!

[george wythe]

She was born in the US and converted as an adult.

Where will she go?

[Texican72]

If she were such a devout Muslim woman, why is she driving???

[grobdriver]

GET OUT!

Now, now, don't be so harsh.
;)

It's a simple answer: "Either we take a picture of your face for identification purposes or you don't get a driver's license."
Her choice.

Keep us posted on this one. I thought veiled Islamic women weren't even safe to be let out of the house without a male relative, much less allowed to operate a motor vehicle.

Say I'm ugly and take bad photos. Can I think its my right to stick a bag over my head for license photos? In other words, does my right, religious or frivolous, exceed the societal necessity to know who is driving that car or using that license as a form of ID?

Lady, as far as I'm concerned, you can walk or you can ride a camel, but there will be no bag (er, rag) over your face on the license photo.

[Puppage]

I could care less. Is she an American, or muslim first, hmm???

Try having your license photo taken with your hat on...AIN'T gunna happen.

[Puppage]

Ok. I'd settle for that, Grob.

[Robert DeLong]

To a Muslim dominated country where she is not allowed to drive even if she wants to?

I believe this woman claimed to be a Christian for many years and only recently converted to Islam (within the last 5-6 years).

I think Driver's Ed made a valid point years ago. Driving is a PRIVILEDGE, not a right. If she doesn't want to provide a positive identification; she won't get a Driver's License.

Furthermore, as a Driver's License is an acceptable form of ID in pretty much all states, having a photograph (minimal) or fingerprint (which would be great as far as I'm concerned) should be the norm. Temporary Driver's Licenses may not have a photo, but then again, they are Temporary (ie. lasting no more than a month).

Action Plan: 1) assemble fleet of troop transport vessels in port cities; 2) move, via bus and/or train all US dwelling Muslims to said ports; 3) load muslims onto ships, send forthwith to middle east muslim countries; 4) bulldoze all mosques and islamic schools in US; 5) Concurrently, close borders with military; 6) Pop a Bud, gloat over job well accomplished and relax.

She was born in the US and converted as an adult.

Where will she go?

How long term are you talking? I'm pretty sure I know the eventual answer. And as far as I'm concerned, she can go there now.

[Ronin]

I suggest Afghanistan.

[Revolting cat!]

We'd be doomed without the ACLU doing all the defending, why, thinking, for us! Doomed, I tell ya!

And if you're a member of the KKK, you are entitled to wear your white sheet for your Driver's License photo.

[joesnuffy]

face and fingerprints or no license and her phone is tapped along with her mosque's and imman's phone

[CA_soon_gone]

One thing's missing in this discussion. If she won't take the covering off to have a picture taken then anyone want to bet she drives with it on too? Religion aside, that's not safe. License revoked, next case.

Wasn't this battle fought years ago by some Christian cult sect that thought photos were "graven images" and so didn't want their photos on their drivers licenses at all? Does anyone remember that and what the outcome of the legal cases were?
