"Muslim" Driver's License Woman Is Convicted Child Abuser: See Her UNVEILED (Ulterior Motive?)

MAY 28--Turns out the Florida woman who is suing for the right to wear a Muslim headdress in a driver's license photograph has previously been subjected to an, um, unveiled government portrait. Following her 1997 conversion to Islam, Sultaana Freeman (formerly Sandra Keller) was arrested in Decatur, Illinois for battering a foster child. Freeman, 35, pleaded guilty in 1999 to felony aggravated battery and was sentenced to 18 months probation. As a result of the conviction, state officials removed two foster children from Freeman's care. The mug shot of the felonious Freeman (below left) was taken after her arrest in the Illinois case. Freeman returned to the dock this week--that's her testifying in the below right photo--to challenge Florida rules requiring prospective drivers to submit to unveiled photos for their licenses. Last year, Freeman sued the state after her license was revoked when she failed to allow officials to photograph her sans headdress. State officials contend that, in light of the September 11 attacks, it is crucial that all motorists now be photographed in an unadorned state. (1 page)

Correct me if I am wrong, but under Islamic Law, women are NOT permitted to drive a car. If she wants a driver's license, she is breaking Islamic Law. Some Muslim.

My conclusion: If she wants her driver's license, OFF WITH HER VEIL !!!

I think you have swerved into the Magic Catch 22.

[Bahbah]

She is a disturbed individual. I'm sorry that our PC society is permitting her to have her 15 minutes of fame at taxpayer expense.

[Living Free in NH]

Now I see why she wears the veil.

[AppyPappy]

I'm almost sure cars are not in Islamic law. Saudi Arabia prohibits it. They certainly drive them over here. I see them all the time.

[Alouette]

How can she drive a car when her peripheral vision is obstructed by that bag on her head. She is a hazard on the road.

[CaptRon]

Maybe the veil isn't such a bad thing...

What does that mean is simple to understand English? Am I correct or in-correct.

"Religion of peace." And, apparently, child abuse.

The article in my local (Florida) newspaper remarked on her very green eyes, which are evident in the license photo. But when I look at the mug shot, her eyes look brown.

Does Allah smile on tinted contacts?

[Puppage]

She's got a face like A BLIND COBBLER'S THUMB

You nailed it. Or is that not simple to understand English?

Mug shots aren't usually done with much care. If you can make out the face, good enough for government work.

[katze]

My first thought.;-)

[Space Wrangler]

Yes, I went home at lunch and this lunatic's hearing was being shown on CourTV. How utterly ridiculous.

[riri]

It's gotta get hot in Florida wearing that get up.

Those cover-ups look so absolutely ridiculous, words can not do justice.

[Legion]

I was thinking more along the lines of a garbage fire that was put out with a golf shoe...

Cars may not be in Islamic law, but they may be in shar'ia law. IIRC, and I may be wrong here, shar'ia law is developed throughout time in response to the needs of society. So any given country's shar'ia law may be different from Koranic law, and from the shar'ia law of another Muslim country. If anyone knows differently, please correct me.
