Muslim woman refuses to take head scarf (hajab) and is now suing. Makes one think about how they handle orthodox Jewish men with their hats or Sikhs with their knives or Amish women wearing a head covering.

edit: Dearborn is, after all, the place where Mickey D's served halal McNuggets until a bunch of righties got their panties all wadded up over it.

(23,283 posts)There's more to this story than just a scarf.
But, it makes no sense to have her remove it for a photo, because the photo won't be accurate. She probably always wears the scarf out of the house.
I'd guess the police would handle the booking of a Sikh or Orthodox Jew with the same sensitivity and grace.
