Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

NYC: Three Muslim women awarded $60,000 each for having to remove hijab for mugshots

Mar 1, 2018 6:37 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

New York City will pay three Muslim women a total of $180,000 after they were forced to remove their hijabs while having police mugshots taken.

Almost three years ago, the “NYPD changed their policies regarding religious head gear, meaning people were informed they had the choice to get their photo taken in a private room with an officer of the same gender.”

The hijab has nothing to do with religious freedom. The Islamic veil represents the lower status of women in Islam: a woman is commanded in Quranic texts to be fully veiled lest she be abused (33:59). A Muslim woman may choose to wear a head covering, but for mugshots removing it is a necessity for proper identification, and in jail, the hijab becomes a security issue, as it can be used to conceal things.

Also, Westerners should not be bowing to the sharia dictates of female inferiority. Westerners have lost all sense of reason for fear of being branded “Islamophobic.” In the case of these three women, taxpayers are having to pay for an unreasonable accommodation as a result of the folly of the NYPD and the Brooklyn Federal Court.

Meanwhile:

Tehran Police Chief Hassan Rahimi has warned Iranian women protesting the Islamic Republic’s compulsory hijab rule of a zero-tolerance policy against protesters. He called on Iranians to observe “Islamic rules” regarding the hijab

The NYPD and the Brooklyn Federal Court should be ashamed of themselves for subjugating themselves to Islamic rules, while women in Iran risk their lives to escape its strictures.

“Three Muslim Women Receive $60,000 Each After Being Forced to Remove Hijab for Police Mugshots”, by Ewan Palmer, Newsweek, February 28, 2018:

New York City will pay three Muslim women a total of $180,000 after they were forced to remove their hijabs while having police mugshots taken.

The lawsuits were settled in Brooklyn federal court with each of the women receiving $60,000 each, according to the New York Daily News.

The first case dates back to 2012 when a teenage girl—identified only as “G.E”—was arrested after getting into a fight with two other Brooklyn school girls she believed were spreading rumours about her.

When G.E was taken to a local police station, she was told she must remove her hijab before her photo could be taken. After she refused, the teenager was taken into a private room where a female officer took the mugshot without any men present.

However, when she was taken to Brooklyn Central Booking, the girl was told there weren’t any female officers around to take the mugshot and that the camera had to remain in its fixed location, not moved to a private room.

The teenager claimed she felt “exposed, violated and distraught” after being made to remove her hijab for around 20 minutes in the company of other men, the Daily News reports.

In March 2015, NYPD changed their policies regarding religious head gear, meaning people were informed they had the choice to get their photo taken in a private room with an officer of the same gender, court rulings show.

Two other similar cases in 2015 and 2016 where then filed by G.E’s lawyer, Tahanie Aboushi, after the new rules were out in place….

    “….The teenager claimed she felt “exposed, violated and distraught” after being made to remove her hijab for around 20 minutes in the company of other men, the Daily News reports….”

    What does “The Daily News” mean when they report that “GE” was made to remove her hijab “in the company of OTHER MEN” ?

    What exactly did they find lurking under that hijab ?

    I wish to place it on record that I feeling all “exposed, violated, and distraught” at the thought of whatever it was that the NYPD found hiding under a hijab that leads The Daily News to believe that “GE” is actually a man, and I demand my $60,000 forthwith…

    Little by little, Sharia is becoming the law of the land for those whose religion commands them to follow it, and for those whose religion doesn’t.
    Lawsuits will be filed in other districts, and they will use this as a precedent.

    Do not want to get your pictures taken without head covering hold in cell until you comply . If they book me in a police pct. and I say it against my religion to have my fingerprints taken it would not fly. Mug shots are used privately by law enforcement to enforce the law {no one outside of law enforcement needs to see them} .Just like if you jump a turnstile or have an open container of alcohol and you will not show ID for a ticket you get lock up and put threw the system. Common law apply to all people of all religions ,or economic status, If you are question for a crime the police are allow to search you it public and police safety ,they can question you ask for ID and yes if they book you they can in private photograph you ,fingerprint you ,why do Moslems put themselves above Western common law , why do libtards bow to Islamic racist . If you cannot comply to Western law you are a clear and present danger and should be lock up or put into lock up hospital if you are insane and a danger to the public..

    All this idiocy just opened the door for more of these people to make up crap to sue our cities. Why do they even have a right? They certainly are not American citizens. Laws need to change if they are allowing illegals and refugees to sue in America. It’s the lawyers and the Judges’ fault. The Judge should have dismissed it as a frivolous lawsuit. These lawyers are disgusting.

    If this bs continues we better starT saying “ALLAH U AKBAR” instead of “O MY GOD”

    This insanity of catering to Islam must stop. NOW.

    What is wrong with these people awarding enemies of humanity?

      I agree. And when I try to explain to people that there are groups pushing sharia who want to subvert our laws…..they react like I’m some kind of alarmist nutcase. Sigh. So people just will not or cannot look at the facts about Islam.

        Keep on fighting G! I’m a Limey, and around 2015 was labelled a racist, by enormous amounts of people, at a Pub I frequent daily. Roll on 3 years, and around 90 percent of them, have re-approached me, apologised and admitted I was correct about Islam. It takes time, but you will ‘get there’ ?

    I wonder if, in New York City, a thief can refuse to remove his mask for a mugshot because it would leave him feeling “exposed, violated, and distraught,” when in the company of law enforcement officers?

    Are New York and their police force insane? It will get crazier still, but let the leftists/globalists/feminists clean up the mess which will come, they made it. They do not have any idea, not any, total ignorance.

      The unhinged Ibrahim itace muhammed wrote:

      ……………………………..

      Ibrahim itace muhammed has made the ludicrous claim before that Infidels are kicking Muslims and sexually assaulting Muslim women at prayer.

      But there are no such cases.

      So Ibrahim itace muhammed is saying that the United States should pay out millions of dollars to Muslims over *something he is lying about*. More fake hate crimes.

      He has also claimed that he has video proof that President Trump has been assaulting children–and that these videos are not available to anyone else. Uh huh…

      This is nothing but projection, since Ibrahim itace muhammed has affirmed that Muslims can “marry” little children.

    When will mad devil Trump designate the Muslim Brotherhood, the terrorists group it is and throw all the wing nuts out of the country? Canadian, Imam Mazim Abdul-Adhim, leader of Hibz ut-Tharir, is right there is no room in the West for Western law and Shari’ah law. The Muslim / brotherhood, we shall overcome attitude is not going to work. East is East, and West is West and NEVER the twain shall meet. A shout out to Ibrahim, the thighing master, thank you for pointing out just how nuts the followers of Issy are.

    Mug shots have always been without hats or head coverings of any kind, Islam is making a production to change that with law suits etc. Get rid of these liberal judges who don’t know a hole in the ground from their ahole. These judges are whats harming America and giving Islam a chance to succeed in having sharia law installed for Muslims only along side our Constitution ignoring the fact that the Constitution is the law of the land.
