Muslim man sues over order to remove headdress in court
He claims Dearborn court guards violated his religious rights
During the May 4 incident, Judge Marylin Atkins had not yet taken the bench when Fareed, a real estate professional, said he entered the courtroom to appear as a witness in a tenant/landlord dispute that involved a friend.
Fareed said that when a female security officer told him he had to remove his kufi, he explained that he wears it for religious reasons.
He said the officer replied that she did not care and that he had to remove it or leave.
A supervisor joined the officer and also told him to remove the kufi, Fareed said. He obliged, he said, so he could testify for his friend.
“I just felt like I had been violated,” Fareed said. “When I came out, I thought, oh man, this is too much. I was denied my freedom of religion, to express that. Just with a simple kufi on.”
Ayad said his client received a written apology soon afterward from Atkins that stated she’s never told a court officer to deny a person from wearing any clothing item for religious purposes.
“A full investigation will be conducted and appropriate action will be taken.”
The lawsuit asks that the court rule in Fareed’s favor in “whatever amount the court determines,” as well as costs and attorney fees.
Talking of Somalis, members of the terrorist group al-Shabaab have been driven out of Kismayo by Kenyan soldiers. Apparently many of them surrendered.
Surrendered? So much for martyrdom.
It looks like cowardly Islamists show their true colours when confronted by force!

The hell it doesn’t reflect on the entire Moslem community, if they don’t condemn this action they are condoning it.
