Lose The Veil Honey!

[WrightAvia]

well then homebrew...

You can sit in your kid's highschool graduation ceremony and listen to a buddist song, a hindu song, a wiccan song, a muslim song and a jewish song and then of course after every body is done, we can hear the Christian song...after all W.W.J.J.W.D.? http://www.rottencotton.com/shirts/black_pop/315_jj.gif

Since according to you, the government can't separate itself from religion...then we have to be nice. Let everybody have their way and their say. Listen to their songs and let them plant the Koran in front of the county courthouse, right next to the ten commandments. So based on your argument...the lady GETS to wear the VEIL. End of discussion. Just don't be surpised when we have to hear a freaking Hindu religious song before the start of an NFL game or car race.

I'm sorry, but if the argument for the separation of church and state...is all said and done, there wouldn't be 453,000 returns on the phrase "separation of church and state" on www.google.com

Off with the veil....Driving is a privilage and not a right. As to political correctness, it bites.. A small group of individuals who don't like themselves to start with want us to conform to their way of thinking or ideas to make them happy.. If they don't like the way it is here, the borders are open.

Her religious beliefs apparently didn't stop her from unveiling for her mugshot in Illinois.

Sounds like she's just a troublemaker.

The school also cannot inhibit the right of any student to read or talk about a preferred faith unless it "substantially interferes with the work of the school, or impinges on the rights of other students."

This is true. By the same token, a photo ID that obscures the face substantially interferes with the work of the State of Florida in that photo ID's are used to determine identity. Women can't pull their hair over their face in DMV photos for the same reason.

So what if some idiot in the Florida DMV let her wear a veil in her liscense photo? It came to the attention of someone in the DMV that a mistake was made, and the state made efforts to rectify the situation.

Actions inconsistent with an established pattern (allowing a face to be obscured is inconsistent with the established pattern of photos free of facial obscurations) is not a legal justification. You can't grandfather in a veil when grandpa never wore one.

The ACLU knows this, just as they know you can't put crosses on public water towers. I generally support their goals, but they seem to be spoiling for a fight on this one.

-Boo!

What is ironic is she wants to keep her veil on because, she claims, of modesty and humility. Yet the publicity has caused her pictures (ie Mug Shots) to be plastered all over the news and internet. She is becoming a household name. Seems like her lawsuit against Florida is doing far more damage to her modesty and humility than any driver license photo could do.

Yikes!!

I would even encourage her to do us all a favor and keep wearing the veil after the unveiled picture is made.

My personal opinion is that she is looking for a place on that TV show Extreme Makeover. She is a prime candidate.

Sandra Keller...was arrested in Decatur, Illinois for battering a foster child. [Keller], 35, pleaded guilty in 1999 to felony aggravated battery and was sentenced to 18 months probation. As a result of the conviction, state officials removed two foster children from Freeman's care.

Beat up a kid, did she? And a foster kid no less. She's a dirtbag.

I've seen too many women in this country (particularly in the DFW area) who believe they can shelter themselves from evil by "converting" to Islam. (Any woman who thinks switching to Islam is a good idea needs to have her head examined anyway.)

This is silly: to drive, you have to have a license. To have a license, you have to have a picture taken of your face. It's just that simple.

This kind of stuff makes me sick!

I always got frustrated when non-catholic students attended a catholic high school I went to and got exempt from going to mass or from taking religion class. If you don't like the rules of a school/country, go some place!

How's about we go to some Islam country and refuse to abide by their Islam laws... I wonder how'd they react??

wrightavia in the USA of all places you have freedom of speech, do you not? same as you have freedom to listen or not.
you dont like hindu songs, dont listen to them.

I believe that you have the right to believe whatever you want to, you just dont have the right to force your beliefs on me. And vice versa.

I'm not Christian, nor am I Muslin, those people that do adhere to those faiths, great, I'm happy for them, but I get really p1ssed when some bible (or koran ) thumping doorbell ringing zealot tries to convert me to his religion after I have politely, respectfully and clearly stated "I'm not interested, thank you....now fcuk off please"

this woman had her own beliefs, great. The law of the land requires her to have a picture ID, for identification purposes by law enforcement officers, (for safety/security/ administration purposes or just to be able to enter a prize draw at McDonalds) whilst she excercises the priviledge of driving her vehicle. No photo?no license, end of story

she was unveiled for her mugshot, now she has a problem with the veil-issue. troublemaker indeed.

If she gets to sport the veil in the picture, does that mean a card carrying member of the KKK can wear their hood for the picture?

Devils advocate - "She has to wear the veil all the time, the KKK guy doesn't." Wrong, she doesn't have to wear the veil except in public, and I'm sure that could be added to the KKK bylaws too.

Devils advocate - "She is obeying her religion, the Klansman isn't." Are you sure, some of those guys seem pretty committed, and who can say what someone is allowed to worship.
