Who is the enemy? - The OCSD, the ACLU, or..?
Who is the enemy? - The OCSD, the ACLU, or..?
Poor Orange County – So far from God and so close to the ACLU!
September 5, 200
The OCR reports today that a woman who was apprehended for probation violation and taken into custody by the Orange County Sheriff is suing the OCSD. While in jail, the woman, a Muslim, was forced to remove her traditional head scarf. “Souhair Khatib, 33, of Anaheim, said she refused to remove the scarf several times and pleaded with deputies to allow her to wear it because of her religious beliefs. Islam dictates that women must wear the hijab, which covers the hair and neck, and that only their faces may be revealed”. The article quotes OCSD’s spokesman Damon Micalizzi, as saying “.he couldn't comment on specifics of the case but said the department insists all inmates remove some items for safety reasons”
As expected, the ACLU got involved and “asked the sheriff's department for a policy statement on religious clothing, but were told there wasn't one, said Hector Villagra, director of the ACLU's Orange County office. Villagra said he found that "astonishing" since the U.S. Department of Justice has a policy that allows Muslim women to have three hijabs while in custody", reads the article..
The article does not mention what Islam says about violating probation or how to prevent from being placed on probation in the first place.
The ACLU likes to remove God from the Pledge of Alliance to the United States, likes to remove the Ten Commandments from public view, likes to remove crosses from hill tops, but apparently does not like to remove hijabs
Poor Orange County – So far from God and so close to the ACLU!
Separately, Reuter’s Noah Barkin and Sabine Siebold report that Germany says it foiled massive attacks on U.S. sites “German security services foiled a plan by Islamist militants to carry out "massive bomb attacks" against U.S. installations in Germany and arrested three suspects, officials said on Wednesday”- they did not mention if hijabs were involved in the explosives
