Muslim women forced to remove their hijabs for mugshots score a $17.5 million win from NYC taxpayers

The Sharia colonization of the West continues.

According to a report out by Michael Dorgan and published by Fox News, the New York City government has agreed to a “preliminary financial settlement” of $17.5 million to settle a class action lawsuit brought against the city in 2018 by Jamilla Clark and Arwa Aziz, two Muslim women who were forced to remove their hijabs in order to get their mugshots taken after they were arrested for allegedly violating orders of protection (restraining orders). Now, also per Dorgan, the agreement still has to be approved by a district judge, but this is Manhattan so….

The settlement, should it go through, will make eligible “more than 3,600 people” for payouts, ranging between $7,824 and $13,125, with Clark and Aziz taking home $35k each.

As reported by Dorgan:

In response to the lawsuit, New York’s police department agreed in 2020 to let men and women wear head coverings during mugshots, so long as their faces could be seen.

‘This settlement resulted in a positive reform for the NYPD,’ said Nicholas Paolucci, a spokesman for the city’s law department. ‘The agreement carefully balances the department’s respect for firmly held religious beliefs with the important law enforcement need to take arrest photos.’

The New York City government claims to have a “respect for firmly held religious beliefs”? What about all those Christian Americans during the “pandemic” barred from worship services, forbidden from attending church functions, and fined and arrested if they violated the decrees?

What about the people whose genuine religious convictions preclude them from participating in experimental pharmaceutical pokes, who were coerced into participation to keep their jobs and provide for their families?

Jon has another one that makes me actually laugh out loud when I read it - even after multiple times.

I had forgotten about it because I really didn't watch the show.

I saw one of those not long back near here. First thing I look for is “Is she just fat or is that a bomb belt.”

So, if a redneck hillbilly refuses to remove his baseball cap and his camo baklava, does that mean he can sue and get rich also? These women will be laughing all the way to the bank as they hit the liberal court system lotto!!
