Michigan courts given leeway to force veil removal

Reasonable request.
There is no need to cover face in a court and no it does not infringe her right to practice seeing the niqab is not a religious practice in any shape or form.

YEH !! That makes sense since that nitbob thing you mentioned is a cultural thing not a relligious item.

The hijab is a religious object, if that was asked to be removed. Then she would be right to refuse. The niqab is not nor has it ever been part of Islam and compulsory. It is a cultural practice inherited from pre islamic traditions and incoporated later on.
 
Many Arab Muslim women consider it to be religious in nature.

If a judge asked a Christian to take off a particularly disruptive crucifix, that Christian would have to comply even though the crucifix is "religious in nature".

I'm trying to imagine how exactly a crucifix could be particularly disruptive, but my imagination is failing me. :roll:

Absent a compelling reason, judges should not be interfering with people's religious beliefs. And I don't see any compelling reason in this case.

Well it's the same way a T-shirt with a bible quote or a religious signature on a member's profile is "hate speech".

Of course you don't see a compelling reason, you support students wearing pitot costumes into the class in support of a bogus 'religion' :lol:

I mean if you don't see what's wrong with that then your judgment is pretty wak.
 

When, where, and what was the case of anyone being charged for "hate speech" over a bible quote or a religious signiture ? Was it maybe a school administrator banning a student for something such as "Jesus hates qeeers". ?

I also would like to know what exactly is a "disruptive crucifix"! Is it one that has flashing red lights where the nails are and running neon red lights in the side gash? Otherwise I do not comprehend a "particularly disruptive crucifix".

I don't know what you're referring to, but a judge has no business making someone cover up a T-shirt with a Bible quote on it. I'd question why they were wearing a T-shirt in a courtroom in the first place, but that's a different topic.

Now I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. But I suspect that was your intention.

I don't know what you're referring to...

So after a couple days do you just forget threads we have here on students wearing t-shirts quoting homosexuality as a sin and how you people call such shirts hate speech? Or do you only forget about the pastapherians with ACLU lawyers who sue the school district for making them change out of their pirate costumes? Bong Hits for Jesus ring a bell? No? Short memory you have.

but a judge has no business making someone cover up a T-shirt with a Bible quote on it. I'd question why they were wearing a T-shirt in a courtroom in the first place, but that's a different topic.

...talkin about "disruptive" religious clothing per-se, not neseseraly what happened in a court room...tryin to make a specific point here and you just aren't following along...
 
Do you have proof about these allegations towards Britain? I know that the gov't is very PC and out of control but I don't believe what you are saying about Sharia law is correct. Not that the right of a private person to wear a veil is Sharia law.
 
30 years lol. Around the same time we let black people drink from the same fountains as white people. The same time gays were killed because they were gay. That was soooooooooo long ago.
Well Society has to have ritualized disdain for someone! Today smokers, the overweight and the unborn are acceptable victims.
 

Actually a judge can eject a person or hold them in contempt of court for being inappropriately dressed.

I think Jerry's talking about the high school student who came into school wearing an over-sized cross that doubled as an electric guitar.

Read it and weep. If Americans don't think this is the goal of Islamics in some sections of the U.S., they're delusional.
