Attorney in hijab defends call for other women at 9/11 hearing to wear 'appropriate' clothing

The defense attorney who wore a traditional Islamic outfit during the rowdy arraignment of the accused Sept. 11 terrorists is defending her courtroom appeal that other women in the room wear more "appropriate" clothing to the proceedings -- out of respect for her client's Muslim beliefs.

Cheryl Bormann, counsel for defendant Walid bin Attash, attended the arraignment Saturday dressed in a hijab, apparently because her client insisted on it. She further requested that the court order other women to follow that example so that the defendants do not have to avert their eyes "for fear of committing a sin under their faith."

"...but then she’s a lawyer already."

The FDA has outlawed Viagra for lawyers. Apparently it just makes them taller.

Hey, Cheryl, if you want to really please your client, resign from his case. A female attorney? Really?

In NYC its legal for women to walk around topless. Not that I am in favor of that of course.

Americans should be able to go anywhere in their own country without seeing a SINGLE hijab or a SINGLE minaret!!!!

In non-muslim countries, both hijabs and minarets are used by muslims to demonstrate their dominance over the Kuffar.

Though not a muslim, this lawyer woman is using the same tactic, right in a trial of those accused of perpetrating the most massive act of jihad violence against our country. PHOOEY to her!!!!

In my country judges make you wear rags.
In your country defendants make you wear rags.

Just another day in Obamaland. :)

Their “faith” caused them to plan the murders of thousands. F##k their faith.

Silly me. I thought the hijab was for women's modesty, not for tempering the savage beasts of the opposite sex.

I wonder how she would feel about everyone wearing homicide vests out of respect for her client’s Muslim beliefs?

How about something French. Nothing says surrender as well. Maybe a snappy little painter’s beret with a rainbow colored fuzzy ball on top.

The mods would pull my post if I said what crossed my mind.

That said, the attorney needs to find another country to live in and good riddance.

So while everyone here is beating up on the idiotic lawyer (appropriately so, mind you), then I have one question:

WHERE IN THE HELL IS THE JUDGE IN THIS JOKE OF A COURTROOM????????????????????????????????????
