If I am a Luthern/Methodist Pastor, can I wear my robes and yoke on an amusement ride? Naturally, if I am injured - the park will be sued.

Charge the Muslims with assault and tresspassing, toss them in jail and let them consider the wisdom of their actions. The Park workers had no choice, as the loose clothing could endanger not only the person wearing the hajib; but a lose fluttering scarf could cause eye damage or blind the person sitting behind them.

Wasn’t there a recent story about a muslim getting decapitated by a ride because of her hijab?

The park is owned and run by Westchester County, the only government-owned amusement park in the country.

LOL!

I lived in Westchester for many years. IIRC..some years ago, a child was killed when he fell from one of the rides...he was too small, and shouldn't have been allowed to get on. Things were really tightened up after that..

Remember, the county owns it..

But some of the members of the group said that the rangers and the cops overreacted.

Could we expect any other excuse? Damn...this is America. Everyone has a right to be safe. And if these women don't care about the safety of the rest of the visitors, they should not have come to the park. Let them go ride amusement rides back in their native lands and let those people be placed at risk from the possibility of flowing scarves in peoples' faces and getting caught in ride mechanisms..

However, Obama will probably invite them all to a beer... or kofta and spinach summit.

This can be easily solved. We shouldn’t discriminate against these poor misunderstood muslims. Remove all the chain and belt guards and require them to sign a waiver.

They should count their blessings they are in America. Saudi police would have beaten and arrested them for being in public with males not their relatives.

The hijab should not be worn in Westchester County, as this could cause the hundreds of thousands of Hispanic illegal aliens living there to be uncomfortable when confronted by a foreign culture.

NOTE TO CIA:

Riding that sorry old wooden Roller Coaster in a hijab might be considered instead of water boarding. Waddyathink? Hey I would sing like a canary!

They were not discriminated against because they were Muslim, the Muslims created
the situation because they're Muslim. This was organized.

Every “moderate” Muslim is a potential terrorist. The belief in Islam is like a tank of gasoline. It looks innocuous, until it meets the fire. For a “moderate” Muslim to become a murderous jihadist, all it takes is a spark of faith.

Ali Sini

Foreign Minister Ahmed Abul Gheit said he had a one-on-one meeting with Obama, where Obama told him that He was still a Muslim, and that he was sympathetic towards the Muslim agenda. http://beforeitsnews.com/story/76/647/Egyptian_minister:_Obama_told_me_he_is_a_Muslim.html

Westchester County is populated by the fabulously wealthy, and the illegals that serve them. See also Fairfield County next door. Both counties still pawn Lawn Guyland.

It made me think of Isadora Duncan, the actress, who’s scarf got caught in the wheel of her car, and it broke her neck. Killing her. It is a safety issue. Period. Just like the warning about obese people not being able to ride, because the safety bars can’t secure them properly.
