I read this board occasionally but I don't think I have ever felt the urge to post until after reading your post.
Bravo!

I challenge you to provide attribution for your post. The highlighted text of your post has circulated on the net for at least 15 months that I could find, and while I find it oft quoted, I could not find where it was originally published. If it was published in a Florida newspaper it can be sourced.

I'd also like you to provide attribution for the source of "the state of Florida changed its opinion and let a Muslim woman have her picture on her driver's license with her face covered".

Please understand I am making no comment about the essay itself, but given that you have posted that the essay was published in response to alleged "facts", I think you have an obligation to source the materials.

Greetings Phanfan...

(who were you in a previous cyber life?)

I've read ahead and gotten through the source brou-ha-ha... personally I don't care about the story... I just love the bottom line...

But once you are done complaining, whining, and griping about our flag, our pledge, our national motto, or our way of life, I highly encourage you take advantage of one other great American freedom, THE RIGHT TO LEAVE.

I include the Hollyweirdos who are bitching about the potential war... still waiting for big.mouth.alec.baldwin to get the hell out... Bush has been in office for over two years now and that weasel still hasn't kept his promise to leave.

The state of Florida provides an identification card should a person need one. A Florida drivers license is not issued for identification purposes but to certify that an individual has met the requirements necessary to drive. This woman clearly met those requirements, but according to this article was denied the license because she refused to be photographed without her veil.
The religious freedoms we enjoy in the United States are precisely why this woman should not have been denied a license. Muslim women wear this veil in following their religious beliefs according to the laws of the Qur'an. Should every gentlemen's mustache or beard be shaven so we can know for certain "who he is" ?
All religions have a distinctive quality, and the distinctive quality of Islam is modesty. Thank God we live in a place where we have the freedom to worship who or what we want and for the most part we have respect for all persons religious beliefs.
The article concludes with telling people they have the freedom to leave. I suggest a better ending would be to pray for tolerance and strength in this very uncertain time.
