Muslim Woman Sues Police In Yonkers, New York, For Forced Hijab Removal
In an exclusive interview with HuffPost, a Muslim woman talks about the trauma she faced after police confiscated and photographed her without her hijab.
Really *****?
Why is it that only christians get the right to practice their religion?
Would you insist that a nun remove her head covering? Would you insist that a jewish person remove their yamaha? Would you insist that a christian remove their cross from around their neck?
I'm not muslim or christian or jewish. I don't agree with most of what the muslim faith is about and teaches especially in regard to women and the United States.
However, I believe in the constitution and freedom of religion. I hope she wins her case.
It's very easy to defend what you believe in. You do it well.
It's not so easy to equally defend those who don't share your beliefs.
The true test of if you actually believe in what you claim is if you defend those who don't agree with your views. If you make sure everyone, not just those who you agree with, have the same rights.
You failed.
