MENA sisters have good posts, views and discussion on this. Why should judges be free to discriminate lands norms, laws and practices. My son was thrown out for having a t shirt with adam sandler on and such. But a Hijab ofensive??why? because the judge is obviously racist and demeaning

Racist? How? Maybe her Hijab carries AIDS. :rolleyes:

?? I'm not sure whether you're implying that headscarves are known vectors of HIV transmission or whether you think it flies out of the hair all magical-like, but either way it's a little confusing. come again?

This seems to be a court policy, and usually exemptions are made for Sikh turbans or yarmulkes. A scarf worn for religious reasons doesn't seem to be all that different.

read post 12 here.. (all will be clear)

"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies."

Senator Barack Obama
Senate Floor Speech on Public Debt

Hello! The stupid lady is in contempt of court and why in the hell should she be allowed to use that "it is my muslim religion" #######, that is such a lame BS reason, and she is clearly showing contempt for the court of law. Bet she learned that you do not show contempt of court in Georgia anymore and stops wearing that stupid stuff in a court of law, how ridiculous, she knew the rule of law yet she just had to try it and then spin it like she was in some civil rights era BS situation, how stupid. They should have put her in county lock up for a year! Then this stupid stuff would stop and people like her would stop disrespecting the USA court of law!

Damned straight! :thumbs: We should just hang 'em all or burn 'em at the stake! Go bigotry!! :dance::dance::dance:

Well judge's have the ultimate authority in their court rooms. Generally speaking, its not a good idea to talk back to them.

Of course... its not as though they look normal in those silly robes. At least in the US we are spared the silly white wigs.

According to someone from the police department:

Lisa Valentine, also known by her Islamic name, Miedah, 40, was arrested at the Douglasville Municipal Court for violating a court policy of no headgear, said Chris Womack, deputy chief of operations for the Douglasville Police Department.

, said Chris Womack, deputy chief of operations for the Douglasville Police Department.

From the article:

Hall said Valentine, an insurance underwriter, told the bailiff that she had been in courtrooms before with a scarf on; that removing it would be a religious violation.
She became frustrated, then turned to leave and uttered an expletive, Hall said.

That’s when the bailiff handcuffed her and took her to the judge’s chambers, Hall said.

It's pretty clear that it was the expletive that led to the charge.

Brother 6 is correct.. i have been in court..too many times to count...and have seen judges send home witnesses and others..including a lawyer for inappropriate dress...

Peace to All creatures great and small............................................

But when we turn to the Hebrew literature, we do not find such jokes about the donkey. Rather the animal is known for its strength and its loyalty to its master (Genesis 49:14; Numbers 22:30).

And yet it isn't the charge.

Why haven't the two threads on this been merged? I'm getting dizzy! :wacko:

Brother Mox,

Why are you sighing at me in all caps... ?

i read that it was because of the expletive (disrupting the court)... i don't have any comments or disagreements with that. everyone knows it is a bad idea to curse out a judge or a police officer or a teacher, etc...

i was just surprised by the circumstances surrounding the disruption.
