While the U.S. continues to reel from minorities requiring halal slaughter, rainbow cakes, and a $15 minimum wage, national security is taking a hit with the vociferous demands of the Muslim 2 percent. In fact, one state’s appeasement of burqa-clad women threatens to fundamentally change the value of the driver’s license as an identification tool.
The International Business Times reports that fliers reminding employees of the Department of Motor Vehicle offices that it is illegal for them to request that applicants remove “articles of faith” for their driver’s license photos in the state of Illinois.
“While hats or head coverings are generally prohibited from being worn in photographs used on Illinois driver’s licenses and identification cards, customers may be photographed while wearing established religious head coverings,” read the flier. “Photographs increase public safety.”
Deputy Press Secretary Henry Haupt of Illinois confirmed that Muslims and Sikhs will be allowed to wear obtrusive headwear in their photos, Fusion reports. Even the burqa and veil are considered acceptable, although they cover every identifiable feature.

No, he isn’t. While there are Republicans in Illinois, there is no Republican Party. There is only The Combine.

Because... they'll cut your head off if you don't ???
Someone said “Stupid is as stupid does,” and some folks prove it!
“Illinois’ governor is a Republican....WTF.”
Being a Republican hasn’t meant anything for some time now.
Nikki Haley of SC and former Fla Governor Jeb Bush for examples.
Not to mention the current crop of Republicans we sent to control Congress. I’m sure you know how that played out.
1. Mad World News which links to;
2. International Business Times.
There is NO OTHER source I could find using various google searches and searches of the Illinois Secretary of State's office.
Conclusion: this article is BULLSHIT.
If you can prove me wrong, go for it.
Generally speaking, true! Rauner seems to be playing hardball on the State Budget and pension issues though ... we've not seen that before from ANY governor in recent memory.
I hope you’re right and this article is BS.
It is so ridiculous.
It’s asinine.
It’s an affront to good sense.
It is disruptive, and destructive, and that to be intentional.
There is a element of truth to it, but it is not what it proclaims to be. (see my link above)
Thanks us. I agree. Would definitely like to hear back on this if you get the chance.
“Seems to be”, I’ll grant you that. And I’m really trying to be hopeful, but I’ve been here to long to let hope get the upper hand. The Combine will let the entire state crash and burn before they relinquish power.

Are you sure you’re not Dom the Deluise?
Doesn’t surprise that Illinois is first state to allow veiled ID. When driving through the state last year for the firs time, one notices that each rest stop is identified as an “oasis”.
I’m really tempted to hit the abuse button and asked that this blatantly false article and post be removed, but honestly, it’ll be interesting to see how many freepers still have good bullshit detectors vs. those who simply believe everything they read on here.
So, you didn’t read the article at all.
As I said above, it'll be interesting to see who the smart vs. gullible freepers are. Some just want to believe the worst no matter what the truth actually is. I suspect I'll have quite a few new FR nick's to ignore after this thread. Don't like wasting my time on stupid people where ever I find them.
They have been called oasis since the late 1960’s early 1970’s if not earlier.
