#3 1) The head covering is not religious law, but ethnic preference.
2) Religious laws are not (or should not be) applicable in public court.
3) Let's establish the religion of Rantburgism, with one of our fundamental religious tenets being that we MUST carry loaded automatic weapons at all times - any guess how far that would fly? And as far as I am concerned, that would be a more reasonable religion that the RoP.

#4 She says twice in the article that she was not a danger, but the headscarf/headgear rule is not about that. It is about respect. In Western cultures you remove your hat as a sign of respect to others. If you can't obey the simple rules than you should leave.

#5 Based on the quotes from the poor oppressed madam in the article, it looks like the bailiff who told her that she needed to remove the do-rag was a female bailiff.

Then, she says that she would not have had a problem with a female officer checking her.

Apparently this rocket scientist doesn't realize that a bailiff is an officer of the court?

#6 Let's establish the religion of Rantburgism,

I'll go along with a loose asociation, say call it the NARAA.

National All Rantburgans Always Armed

#8 Rantburgians - remember, it's not the weapon that makes one a warrior, but the spirit. Being able to maim or kill someone 20 different ways with your bare hands, or being able to fashion a weapon out of just about anything, is far more effective in the preservation of liberty than a .357 or 30.30.

#9 it's not the weapon that makes one a warrior, but the spirit.

Tell that to the Japanese who were slaughtered by the hundreds of thousands.

#10 "Tell that to the pre-1945 Japanese who ~~were~~ slaughtered their neighbors by the hundreds of thousands."

There - fixed

#11 Fighting spirit without proper weaponry may get you slaughtered, but all the weapons in the world won't keep you safe if you don't have the willingness to use them. Example: Royal Navy, 2008, Persian Gulf.

I would have told that sawed-off punk he had 24 hours to return my people completely unharmed, with their equipment, or Tehran was going to become a sea of molten glass, with Qom right behind in achieving the same state. I'd have damned well done it, too, had they not complied.

#12 I say that both sides should get together and fashion a win-win agreement. No headscarfs will be allowed, but allow this lady to don a grocery bag with eyes and mouth holes cut out. Actually, she might be a two bagger; I didn't look at the picture closely.
