I'm sorry but if you want a FL driver's license, and FL law enforcement requires a full face photo from every driver in the state, then either give the photo or take a cab. Because if you don't have to give your photo to law enforcement, then, I shouldn't have to give my photo to law enforcement.

Infringement of constitutional rights my hairy Republican a$$. You're in our world now lady, you play by our rules.

Guess she could go to Saudi or some other muslim country where women aren't allowed to drive a car.

pure garbage

Sorry Lady...No flicky...no ticky!

Two years ago, Tamim-Muhammad, a native of Morocco, removed her headdress for the ID photo, but her husband said she did it only because she spoke no English and was unsure of her legal rights.

If she speaks no English, I must assume she reads none, either. How will she read street signs and such? How will she know what the "Bridge Out Ahead" sign is about?

Oh, wait, I forgot. She doesn't have to. She'll wait until she drives off the non-bridge; then she and her husband will sue.

Uh, don't most muslim nations FORBID women to operate motor vehicles?

[anton]

Can't blame them though since most Muslim women look like a cross between a camel and the back of a police dog.

In my home state, driving is considered a privilege, not a right.

I imagine most others are like that. Your license can be revoked or not granted if you refuse to meet the requirements.

Driving is a privilege. She can go back to her country and get a license to drive a camel. I digress, she has no rights in her country, that is why she is here taking advantage of our system.

Message to Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Iran: "ALL YOUR OIL WELLS ARE BELONG TO US"

[hgro]

Too bad she doesn't live in Saudia Arabia. There she would have no problem - women aren't allowed to drive.

[Cacique]

Having a driver's license is a "privilege" NOT a "right". If you want to partake of that "privilege" you must comply with it's requirements.

"I don't show my face to strangers or unrelated males," Freeman said.

At the risk of sounding Jesuitical, it is not "her face" on the driver's license. It is an image of her face. To be an Islamic strict-constructionist, this would mean that only a "related male" could be present when were picture is taken. Even this can be obviated it the photographer is a woman.

If she is issued a license and for some reason is pulled over by the constabulary, I suppose that she could demand that only a female officer could look at the license. The almost politically correct solution to that problem is to clap her in irons and bring her downtown so that her credentials can be validated. And if they can't find a female officer for a couple of days, ain't that just too damned bad? As an Islamic woman, she should be used to prisoner status.

And of course, America's cancer, the ACLU, is behind this.

[CheneyChick]

Ugh - I hate these kinds of stories. Don't drive or go back to your own country.

The following article by Daniel Pipes is, I think, quite relevant to this case:

The Danger Within: Militant Islam in America .

Pipes documents that there are Islamists in the United States who have the same goal as the terrorists, but don't think a violent approach will work. Their strategy, as they themselves outline it, involves using multiculturalism and ACLU style civil liberties activism to give Muslims in the United States a special legal status, ultimately to maneuver the courts into allowing Muslims to live under sharia rather than the laws of the United States. Then through long-term immigration, grow the Muslim population and its political influence to the point that it can demand that more and more sharia law apply to non-Muslims.

Of course, not all US Muslims by a long shot share these aspirations. But this lawsuit sounds very much in line with the strategy Pipes describes. It would in essence involve sharia trumping the laws of Florida; it would to a certain degree require non-Muslims to observe sharia (DMV employees and cops would have to obey sharia at least in not demanding to see her face). Now look for the Islamist front groups, like CAIR, to jump into the fray.

There is no "Right" to have a Drivers License. If you don't want to have your picture taken, you don't get a license. BTW lady, if you want to live by that ridicules Islamic code, why are you in the U.S?

[ken21]

that's a slam-dunk!

yo' not drivin' b*tch!

[Pistias]

I thought in the Islamic tradition women weren't supposed to drive anyways...
