Atlanta Judge Serves Bigotry instead of Justice


An Atlanta woman accompanies a family member into a courtroom for a traffic ticket violation. However, she is the one that ends up in jail. Her crime? She failed to remove her Islamic headscarf known as a hijab. The judge sentenced her to 10 days in jail for contempt of court.

Yeah, sounds like a punishable offense to me. This judge also banned another Muslim woman and her 14 year-old daughter from his courtroom because they were wearing hijabs.

This guy needs to be removed from the bench. Obviously, he has a high level of prejudices against Muslims. I think that it would be highly difficult for those that share my faith to get a fair trial in this guy's courtroom.
