Can you judge her credibility?
|
We’ve written previously about Ginnah Muhammad, who refused to remove her veil in court and had her case dismissed. She then sued the judge and now that case has been dismissed.
Associated Press – May 13, 2008:
A federal judge in Detroit has dismissed the case of a Muslim woman who sued a judge for demanding she remove her veil in court.
|
The judge ruled Monday against Ginnnah (ZHIN’-nuh) Muhammad’s claims that her rights to freedom of religion and court access were violated.
Judge Paul Paruk (per-ROOK) requested she remove her veil during a 2006 hearing in the town of Hamtramck (ham-TRA’-mick). She was contesting a $3,000 charge from a rental-car company to repair a vehicle she said thieves had broken into.
Paruk told her he needed to see her face to judge her truthfulness and gave her a choice: Take off the veil or have the case dismissed. She kept it on and sued the judge last year alleging he violated her religious and civil rights.

I thought a hijab was not part of there religion anyway? So if the court rules are you show your face, thats what you have to do UNLUCKY!
ummmm #11… In case you just graduated from kindergarten, the lady was in court to get back $3,000 !
She disrespected the court, and is too full of herself to figure it out.
If that was worth $3K, then what was she doing there in the first place?
She (and you) need to fish or cut bait!
Thanks #15 Jägermeister.
I somehow suspected that the woman was a convert. I also suspect the woman was born and raised here as I highly doubt a woman from a region in the Middle East that follows that religion enough to wear the veil would place herself in that situation. If they can’t participate in society then the chances of them being in trouble enough to go to court are severely diminished. In other words, this self-centered, egotistical bimbo is trying to grandstand and is probably instead making a jack-ass out herself!
The day when women are allowed to appear in court with their face covered by a Religious veil, or take a driver’s license picture wearing a veil, will be the day that I buy myself a veil too and switch religions then go around committing all kinds of criminal acts wearing that veil. I’ll be the founder of the Veil religion where the Veil all-mighty rules. No one will be able to make me remove my veil for whatever reason because of freedom of religion. And I’ll have people like Ginnnah Muhammad to thank.
Oh, and #17, Turkey is a secular state, that much I know. Women can wear whatever they want there.
@9 “A woman’s testimony is worth half of that of a man’s.”
That is not true. A woman’s testimony is worth one third of a man’s according to the Koran.
That being said… Does she want the case tried under the Koran or should she take off the veil and try the case according to the law here.
BTW, I have seen some women who should wear veils, but not for religious reasons.
Am I missing something here or isn’t the symbol of court justice (aka Lady Justice) blindfolded, indicating that those who are brought before the court will be judged only on facts and not other factors such as appearance, clothes, etc? If someone wears a suit vs another person is too poor to own nice clothes does that make them more or less truthful? Why does a judge have to see her face? Why are the facts of the case not enough?
Hulk Hogan recently was allowed to wear his head bandanna covering half is head in court, what you wear should be trivial as long as you are not breaking decency laws.
#24–ck==yes you are missing the point. Judges think they can judge credibility of evidence offered to the court by reading the face. A tick or nostril flare is all an insightful judge needs to see to discount everything you say. CASE DISMISSED.
Thinking about it, I think testimony can’t just be disbelieved==someone else has to actually disagree so that the “facts” are in dispute? Then the wisdom of the judge can be applied. Note–never make faces at, or stick out your tongue at, any judge.
FUCK THIS BITCH!
PUT HER IN JAIL!!!!!!!!!
