Muslim Woman Sues Police For Forcing Her To Remove Hijab

[Ms. Toad]

62. Reading the Quran

does not mean you understand all variations of the Islamic faith. You do not get to dictate what someone else's faith requires - aside from which there are well respected Islamic scholars who would differ with your insistence that the Quran, alone, dictates what is require of faithful Muslims.

And do you honestly believe granting her request to have a female office book her, in accordance with the department's own policies - under which circumstances she was willing to remove her hijab - is equivalent to public religious slaughter and FGM.

Aside from which my point was not that there can be no restriction on the free exercise of religion, when there are compelling state interests, - but that there are many exceptions to rules which are generally applicable - AND - that generally applicable policies can be directed at the repression of certain faiths.
