[...] The Supreme Court will let a Muslim woman sue Southern California jailers for making her take off her head scarf in a courthouse holding cell. More from: http://losangeles.cbslocal.com… [...]

Here it comes folks!
The end of a great nation, this country is now on its way out. Not just by the action of the latest by the sublime court, but by there choices in the very near future.

Just you wait and see!

A scarf could be used by anyone to choke somebody or to hang yourself. I am not on the side of jailers in general but this is just silly. You don’t want to go to jail and suffer some inconveniences, embarrassments or religious no-nos? pay your fine or do you community service on time.

If it blocks her face, it becomes a safety issue. Jailers cant see if she is alive or dead, holding a blade in her mouth or mouthing insults to the judge. I would love to put a bag over some of these people heads, but again its a safety issue. Their Muslim laws do not over ride our laws. We need to fire all Supreme Court Justices and replace them with people that want to up hold the laws of THIS country not Shari law or the laws of Muslims!

When you go to a jail cell you are required to relinquish your personal belongings. You are not even allowed to wear shoes that have shoelaces. A scarf could be a very dangerous item in a jail cell, i.e., it could be used to strangle or even hang yourself. They were just going by the book.

Hmph. While I agree that holding cells should be equivalent and held to the same standards as prisons or jails, I also think that there’s no federal interest to a state-exlusive arena, and in any event, freedom of dress (religious or otherwise) is one of the freedoms that gets curtailed with an arrest. You don’t see metal necklaces either, do you?

Agree with everyone above on the safety risk issue, but I hate to say it; in this PC world, with California’s backwards “give it up to anyone” bleeding into the rest of the country, she will win this one.

Next you will have gay men in prison suing the prison system because inmate lovers who get married WHILE in prison (married by a judge appointed by the system on your taxes) are being kept in separate cells.

hate to agree but the posters are right, its a safety issue. of course, any cracker in there has to remove the salt too, fair is fair

If you have to wear a headscarf for religious reasons, you don’t belong in this country. Here it goes. The next step will be to make honor killings legal and require prayer rugs in all our public buildings, foot baths in all our colleges, and public areas for prayer five or six times a day. Islam is not compatible with America. When will America wake up. The enemy lies within

These people come here knowing that we have laws to follow, yet still try to claim this ‘religious card’, as a right to their Freedom!!
The courts allow plenty of time to serve community service!
If I was jailed and said I need to keep my cross necklace on because of my ‘Christian Religion’ would the Supreme Court here my case!!??
I wonder if Ms.Khatib will complete her community service or use the $$ from her law suit to pay if off!!??

i like to rip off the head scarves and blow my nose on them, and then politely hand them back to the sub-human. these savages are here to serve the superior man if we need to blow our noses.
