#1 While this really is a tempest in a teacup the veil do wonders for looks

#2 Maybe someone should look into Howard Marks, the ACLU attorney and see where he has been and what he has been doing. It would be interesting to see what kind of cases he has been handling and who he as been hanging out with.

#3 This is all a bunch of crap, and a waste of taxpayer money. If she insists on keeping the veil, then she gets no driver's license. End of story. (maybe afterwards her wages can be garnished to recover the costs of this fiasco, assuming she works)

#4 Maybe someone could remind her that Islamic women must not drive at all. At least not in Saudi Arabia. Forgot how many lashes though...

#5 Why is this nonsense taking up more than about 30 seconds of court time? Do they castrate their judges in Florida when they're elected/appointed?

#6 Me thinks this is probably a black gal seeking to get back at The Man. Yawn.

#7 The judge is a woman.

#8 Well, she has a child battery charge in her past.

#9 Well, that answers a few questions I had. Careful what you wish for, Sultaana. Because people will get up your ass with a microscope these days if you put yourself in the position.

#10 "Me thinks this is probably a black gal seeking to get back at The Man."

Think again.

#11 True German Ally: Good point, that where she would have to stay veiled she'd also have to eschew the driver's spot.

#12 Katz: Thank you for that piece of news. If you link to the story and look at the photos on the side bars, you will see a blow up of her mug shot in the hands of a ADA. I wondered what it was all about. Again, thanks Katz because her criminal record raises all sorts of interesting psychological questions about her conversion.
Hiryu: She looks white to me, but her husband is black. Is he Nation of Islam or something less radical, like a follower of Wahibism? I hope for our sakes, it's something mild like Wahibism.

Hate to generalize, but the black American converts I met over the years, especially in Saudi, really value the power that the Koran and Hadith (their interpretations, not mine) give them over women. I can see this fragile white woman under this guy's spell and his telling her she has to get back at The Man for him through her being discriminated against. I'd like to be a fly on the wall for her therapy sessions.
BTW, the Muslim expert, al-Fadl, is despised by the Wahibites the world over. Too liberal, it appears.

#13 Now it turns out the husband has got a record. What a couple!

#14 I agree with Hiryu...she is a black woman, previously with a hyphenated name--isnt that so cute---with previous criminal charges, probably on welfare, has 6 kids, not married legally, no education, a very recent convert to Islam, looking for a way to make a buck off the system...anyone know if this judge is by any chance a black woman too? If so...watch this story...it aint over by a long shot...she has an excellent chance of winning this....another example of the bullshit the Muslims and the blacks--oh, arent they the same?--are using to subvert the system. I'm glad I'm almost dead, dont want to be around when the Black Muslims do take over..

#16 I told you so! I knew this wench had some sorrid past. She is just trying to get her 30 seconds of fame. Prediction: Within 12 months she will be in a Playboy/Penthouse/Swank photo shoot. It will be called 'Wow! Look behind the veil!' Get that air brush ready this is going to needs some work.

#17 More info: Apparently Florida bit it's own leg with a feel-good "religous freedom restoration act"

#18 Whoa! Airbrush? Try sandblaster.
And Fed UP? Take deep breaths. She ain't gonna win.

#19 I think that she is partially right. She should be allowed to have her picture taken with the burkah and she should not be allowed to have a driver's license. Solomon would have liked it.

#20 Do you think she swore on the Bible to tell the truth before testifying???
