Muslim women's headware allowed in court or not?
Target:
All
Sponsored by:
The confrontation in Atlanta, between an officer of the court and a woman wearing the religious head scarf of the Muslim religion, has reached national and certainly the attention of Muslim radicals.
The story is unclear and reverses itself several times. If the woman, after being told she could not wear the item of clothing, did turn to leave, why would she have been detained by the officer. She is to have used profanity and to have made statements concerning the judge. These are the things that lead to arrest.
As a user of a cane to assist walking, there has been two times when I've been refused entrace to the court. One cane was aluminum, and the second had a brass handle. A simple, "Sorry, that is not allowed in court" was all that was said. The response was not one of pleasure, but no officer prevented my leaving.
Camera phones are not allowed, and normal cell phones must be turned off. Hand bags are searched, as are cases, bags, etc.
Past situations have shown that weapons can and have been concealed and taken into court. This may have been a consideration for the officer. The article does not specify if the metal detector sounded, only that the woman was near the detector.
Now the officer has been admonished for doing the job he was given and a course in courtesy will be mandatory, most likely, for those in future situations.
The truth is not being put forward in this story, and if an obviously handi-capped individual is barred from using a specific type of walking aid, why should the wearing of a religious item be allowed?

If I can be barred from the court room for wearing the same type of scarf then I agree, this woman should be BARRED!! Separation of church and state says so in my book. I am already sick and tired of having lost Christmas and Easter { now only publicly referred to as Spring Holiday and Happy Holidays---no longer Easter or Christmas} to those who practice a different religion and I believe they should all keep their mouths shut and be happy that OUR {American} people are willing to fight and die for their freedom as well as ours. Americans have lost their identity and it's by keeping OUR mouths shut that this erosion continues. If a Jehovah's Witness won't fight for this country then I say deport them to some other place, let them get a taste of what it's like when no one protects their values. The same goes for the Jewish or any other community that doesn't like our AMERICAN traditions....just leave! If you imagine in your wildest flights of fancy that Israel would not put up a menorah because it might insult someone else's religion then you need to go there, if you think they'd add a Merry Christmas to make you feel better about yourself then you need shock treatments. We have lost all our freedom as a free country and it's time to stop it! If you don't like American traditions then GO HOME! {I'll help pay for your ticket}

Stop all MUSLIM immigrants from entering the USA, they are a National Security risk for this Country. Our safety as Citizens are more important than their PROSPERITY in our Country. Until they Police their CULT and CONTROL their RADICALS We as Citizens do not need or want them here.
