Muslim Woman Sues Police For Forcing Her To Remove Hijab

89. they couldn't because there was no female officer at the station

Otherwise they would have accommodated her request. Police forces aren't exactly teaming with female officers. Frankly, I'd much prefer that they are utilized the same way as any male officers than having to fart around the precinct their entire shift in case a Muslim woman needs to go through booking and doesn't want to take off her cultural head covering in front of any males. To always have a female officer on hand in the event that a Muslim woman has to go through booking and doesn't want to remove her cultural head covering in front of any males or having to call one back to the precinct compromises the gender rights of those female officers by requiring special duty of them that would not be required of any male officers.

What's particularly ridiculous about this is that what damn difference does it make if a female officer takes the photo without the ha jib on when any officer male or female is going to have access to the photo of her without it on anyway? It doesn't make any sense to demand that only a female officer take the photo because of not wanting any males seeing her without the ha jib on when any officer is going to be able to see her in the photo without it on anyway.

This isn't a religious garment anyway. A religious garment would be something like a nun's habit or priest's collar that are worn by people to identify them as a belonging to a specific order within their religious organization. There is nothing in Islam that requires women to wear any kind of head covering. It's purely a cultural head covering that women are still duped into believing is a religious requirement in order for a very male dominant society to control women. This same culture only requires certain clothing concerning women while the men have none. While some Muslim men prefer to wear various ancient cultural garments, they are not religious requirements either, and unlike the women, the men have the choice to wear them or not.

I have no doubt this attorney took this case just for personal publicity. And of course, there he is with his client doing a photo op for the news.
