A theme park was forced to shut its gates to visitors yesterday when a mass brawl broke out after Muslim women were banned from rides unless they removed their headscarves.

Two park rangers were hospitalised and 15 people were arrested in the scuffle at Rye Playland in New York.

The theme park was crowded with around 6,000 visitors. Roughly 3,000 were in a Muslim tour group celebrating a holiday at the end of Ramadan.

The Muslim American Society of New York had been advised of the rule [no headgear of any kind on rides] many times before its tour took place, parks official Peter Tartaglia said.

In other words, the Muslim American Society planned this incident as a provocation.

It sounds like they are trying to use camel toes. I think they have more love for actual camels.

I cannot pray fast enough that there will be a bounty paid for catching Moslems and having them sent to deportation centers.

They have no place in America as far as I am concerned, its all about Islam, its always all about Islam. There can be absolutely no co-existence with Islam.

Its like being a sheep and being hired on at a shearing center owned by wolves. They will wait, and wait, and when you are just at the best moment for their agenda they will come after you.

Islam and its Koran is the Satanic verses.

Lose the cult though and they can be my next door neighbor anytime.

When that belief system is directly antithetical to the U.S. Constitution, and seeks to ultimately overthrow it, it is time to draw the line. Islam is a tyrannical political system that uses religion as a beard, and as a way to control the masses. It is not a “religion” in the 1A sense.

I haven't read or seen this story in the US MSM?

Notice how The UK & Canada report the stories the US so-called journalist won't!

Islam is not a religion, it is a political death cult.

Maybe they *want* that to happen to their women? (Woulnd’t be surprised.)

I would not be surprised if the intention was to find or create a reason to sue, either this year, or next year when the park tries to find a way to make them stay away.

Could you imagine Catholic nuns breaking out into a brawl if they were asked to remove THEIR head coverings?

Hell no — they’d either remove them and adapt, or they’d choose not the ride the ride.

When I was a kid, we used to go to Playland each year for a company picnic. I was able, as a child, to take my tickets and go off on my own for hour and hours, finding my parents for lunch and any family activities.

It's difficult to imaging the playground of my childhood has become such a dump and a battlefront for hate filled radical islam trying to defy basic rules, convention and general courtesy that every other American has no issue with.

That’s kinda what I was thinking. Why would Muslims even go to an amusement park? Aren’t they against everything “amusing?”

I knew of a girl who had very long hair and was riding a go-cart. Her hair got caught and it nearly killed her. Common sense is lost on some people. I say let them ride and deal with the consequences.

Great line. Wish I’d written it.

WP, it ain’t racism ‘cause Muslim ain’t a race, but you’re expressing bigotry. Substitute “Jew” for “Muzzie” and you are just like the worst of the mullahs and imams.

Staged. Half the people in the park were from the Muslim group and had been well warned ahead of time. More chaos to get in our faces with their bogus religion

It's not a bogus religion. Satan delights in his worship.
