Just as this lady should respect the rights of Americans -- in America.
And if she was American, she should know better.

Point taken.
But in other words; the days of 'the great meltingpot' is over ?

Where is it written in US law that women are not allowed to wear a head scarf?

Just how was she infringing on the rights of Americans?

Damn, they only let me give you one Green,, anyone with enough sense to see that you should be able to run your own business as you see fit deserves more than one shitty green.

No not at all, ever since there has been a USA they have had laws and if you came you go by those laws or out ya go and you were expected to assimilate, now every asshole wants to bring his lingo, his flag and his laws and rules and wants the people of that Great country to live by his while he takes welfare and support and jobs from them on his own terms.

Not in laws about scarf so much as facial covering,,and it was one of the rules that this thread is about set by a private business you had to obey to do business with them. but you should really take some adult Edi class at night school to learn to comprehend and at 55 years you might be able to learn,
tho some of you lime suckers do suffer from CRS.
And I do realize that you are extremely stupid..And you seem bound to prove it every chance you get,,fuck I think I put you back on Ignore as it is becoming a drag to read your shit when so many more have so much more to say that I do not have the time to fuck with you any longer.

Banks in Thailand have such a notice outside , so as to see who is entering the bank and will be on the camera, and and not obscurred by head gear your head has to be Sean in the event of a robbery all there can hopefully be recognized later and eliminated or charged. I am in favour of such a rule.

If I was going to do a robbery I would definitely use Sean's head, not my own.

Pots and kettles!

The rule is about motorcycle helmets and that is prominently displayed. A headscarf that still shows all bar the hair? Dimwits . . .

As for the comment that she should adapt to the American way and why she would be using that bank . . . Losers, seriously. Who is to say that she isn't American? Who is to say that her husband or she don't work in the armed forces?

Comparing the US to Saudi? Hahahaha . . . yes, that may be more apt than you think when looking at the comments here.

A hijab can be anything from a headscarf to a full face mask.

But it doesn't matter. She failed to follow the rules and was denied service. Then bitches about it as if she was singled out.

Fuck 'er. Go find a country that will bend to your every demand if you want the god-given right to conceal your identity in a bank. Nutter.



How did every 7-11 in Miami, Honolulu, Tampa and San Diego get away with this for so long?
Think of how many people it offended.

No problem with that . . . it is a prominently displayed sign . . . follow it or you can't enter. I fully support this right to enforce a dress-code.

Rules? I'd like to see the 'rules' that she broke for that particular environment. Remember, it hasn't been established if she actually did or if the bank employee was acting out of - God forbid - some kind of post-9/11 knee-jerk panic that anyone that could look different is out to eat blue-eyed babies and destroy the foundation of democracy (of course to do that she si in the wrong country)

Nail on te head there, Texpat . . . I'm sure that's what the intent is for these people . . . to bend to their every whim . . . but you forgot to mention that she would rxpect the government to fund it.

“Special consideration for cultural and religious garments is under the discretion of the branch management,”

The rules were explained to her. She has the right to
1. Follow them.
2. Take her business elsewhere.

What's so hard to understand?

Navy Federal's a crap bank anyway.

. . . after the fact . . .

Does she have an account there? If so then she would have had to open it there or a branch of the same bank. She would have worn her headscarf to open the account . . . why didn't they refuse her service then?

Nah, mate . . . too easy to throw all the crap her way and hide behind the flag and promote homogenity.

Nah, mate. The bank should stick by its guns and tell her to come back properly dressed if she wants service.

Same as they would do with anybody else improperly dressed.

A totaly shameful affair, I hope the lady sues the bank and I also hope that the person who was responsible gets relieved of there position, a truely sickening and insulting occurance.

Absolutely, Noodles!

The gall of those bigoted bank workers to question a muzzie!

Like the girl in your av?

Don't think the bank cameras capture that angle, but I've never checked.

Can't tell if she's wearing a face mask or not.

Maybe some sexy little number to match her undergarments.

Looks like a fucking Muzziie terrorist to us!

What might you consider as improperly dressed?
