Why is this Muslim women in Florida, Who may not be a citizen, no News paper will print the info. Is demanding she can have her drivers’ license photo taken with her Vail on.

First a drivers license is a privilege not a right.

Second a driver’s license is used for identification

Third will this lead to Muslims asking for Passports with out photos
And dose her passport have a photo?

And finally why did the Christian teacher get suspended for wearing a cross and this woman is demanding that her religious rights not be infringed upon .

Not yet. still in court.
Are you implying it won't be.

I think this should not even be an issue.

Actually, it was in many Florida newspapers...and I even recall seeing a story on tv about it back when she first was sent the letter. The problem is that there is precident that the State has allowed others whose religeous beliefs don't allow photos to have licenses without the picture (some fundy Christians take Deut. 4:14-18 to mean photos).

Hmmmmmm, is this an issue with Islam or with religion? "No laws respecting a particular religion or the free excersize thereof".

If members of a certain religion are prohibited from the "priviledge" of driving a car based solely upon their religion, then I think a good case could be made for descrimination based upon religion.

hunh?

"descrimination against religon?"

how'd we get from requiring a photo on your drivers license to 'descrimination against religon?

lets all insist on not having picture licenses. wonder how safe life would become for traffic and law encforcement folks in such a situation.

the law is not discriminatory against 'religion'. it descriminates against blind people, the impaired, the incompetent and idiots like ms. saddams third cousin with the mole on her nose as big as venus.

boy am i dumb, i always thought a drivers license was to prove you could drive a car.

Simple solution, just tattoo the driver's license number and an official seal on her hand or another exposed part.

I guess an even simpler solution is to deny her the license.

the easiest solution for the courts would be to tell her to get the **** out cause this shouldent even be an issue...the laws the law and it wont be bent cause ur face is butt ugly

Did she take the driving test with the veil on? Would she drive that way?

Seems someone wanted to highlight certain prejudices against Middle Eastern cultures and there's more than a few people willing to help her do that. Was it an issue with the religions that didn't believe in photos? Would that trial still be made a big deal of here in the O'Club?

Shoulda titled it "Those damn Arabs!"

I thought that fundamentalist Islam forbids women to drive... That's the way it is in Saudi Arabia anyway,

Seems like a no brainer for the judge.

"In order to assure your ability to follow your faith, I forbid you from driving... Next case"

Now you say she needs one to cash a check? In Saudi Arabia, she can't go outside without a related male escort. He can cash the check.
