Perhaps the employees could have handled this better in light of the super sensitive society we live in. But it is what it is, just take the thing off and put it back on later after the inspection.
On Nov. 5, Gazella Bensreiti, 36, arrived at the arena to watch her 9-year-old daughter sing the National Anthem with her school choir, ahead of the Denver Nuggets-Miami Heat basketball game. The single mother-of-three escorted her daughter to the box office and after the girl walked through a metal detector, Bensreiti began unloading her phone, car keys, and AirPods to follow suit.
But a woman standing 10 feet away waved her arm in Bensreiti’s direction. “She said, ‘You can’t come in here with that thing on your head,’” Bensreiti tells Yahoo Lifestyle. “I said, ‘Excuse me?’”
This whole muslim thing will be a lot less funny like it is in EU where they have roaming squads of sharia enforcers.......some are already here in the USA......wear your MAGA hat in Dearborn or Minneapolis for excitement.......another load of BS the DEMS have gotten us into..........
I hate that thing on their head, less stylish than a chili bowl haircut. I'm not saying people should be rude, but it was rude for them to come hear bringing their Muslim culture with them and rude for them to be issued permanent residence.
How predictable with the usual Islamophobic crowd crowing about this. So would they like that if an Orthodox Jew was forced to remove his hat? A Sikh forced to unwind his turban?
. But it is what it is, just take the thing off and put it back on later after the inspection.
“I didn’t know what they were searching for, but I have nothing to hide, so I offered to remove my covering so they could search me in private,” Bensreiti tells Yahoo Lifestyle"

“I have no problem removing my hijab and showing them every strand of hair,” Bensreiti, who was born and raised in Colorado, tells Yahoo Lifestyle.
How funny, I thought we had religious freedom in this country. But apparently some people think that is just for Christians and it's fine to be bigots about anyone else, especially Muslims. Gross.

You don't have religious freedom to immigrate here. We're not talking about born and bred Americans adopting and converting and practicing a religion, were talking about its followers being imported.

But she'll put it right back on and I'd prefer she leaved it off.

^^^^ This. The majority of responses in this thread are just intolerant and I don't say that often. I for one am happy to live in a country that at least on paper claims to have freedom of religion. Honestly, reading the story it seems regrettable that the mother's situation was handled this way, but she was allowed in and at the end of the day I'm surprised it even made news. But to then inspire the responses here? I don't understand it.
