A St. Cloud lawmaker says a bill that would ban any kind of headwear in a driver's license photo is a matter of public safety. But some Muslims say they have a religious right to cover their heads.
State Rep. Steve Gottwalt says banning headwear would make it easier for law enforcement to identify people and it would make it fair for everyone.
But Suban Khalif says Muslim women wear a head scarf nearly 24 hours a day as part of their religion, and taking it off even for a few minutes is a big deal. Khalif and other Muslim women say their facial features should be enough for law enforcement to identify them.

“Why the hell cant we have this kind of common sense???”

If you don’t like it ...then GO HOME!!!!

I would imagine that they are free to go back to their countries where they can wear it photographed and all.
The west pays better for sitting on your a*** and waiting for the next government check.
if they took their religion series, the womenfolk would have to ride in the back of the car and not drive at all(like in Saudi Arabia)
Dislike? I didn't know that there was any emotion other than Complete Outrage in Islam.
I hate the United States for making our women take off their head sacks for drivers licenses. I also hate the United States for letting women drive.
boohoo....If you don't like the LAW...Get the HELL out of the Christian nation of the USA!!! Islam guys why are you letting your daughters and wife DRIVE It is against your beliefs!! You should behead your daughter if they are asking for the family camel!! /s
When they stop beheading Christians and Jews, and flying planes into buildings, and blowing up buses carrying Jewish children to school, I say let them cover their faces on license photos.
“But some Muslims say they have a religious right to cover their heads.”.....
While you’re at it......cover your mouth also!
If Moslems wish to drive cars (and in Saudi that's not allowed) they have to conform to the rules of the land, not the mystical twinklings of their little minds.
I imagine the Sikhs might have a problem with this as well, even more so.
Wow, sucks to be them, huh... Luckily for them they don't have a religious right to drive. No conflict, no problem, case closed...
Well then they don’t need to drive. Driving is not a right it is a priviledge and if you won’t obey the rules for the photograph perhpas you just shouldn’t drive?
“But some Muslims say they have a religious right to cover their heads.”
Does that mean if I claim I am Amish that they can’t photograph me at all? Just wondering?
“Does that mean if I claim I am Amish that they cant photograph me at all? Just wondering?”
Go for it.....
