Saudi woman accuses Chicago cops of attacking her, removing her headscarf
Arab News ^ | Sunday 14 August 2016

A Saudi woman is suing the city of Chicago and six Chicago police officers for tackling her on the stairs of a subway station, stripping her of her headscarf and violating her civil rights on the Fourth of July last year.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations, a Muslim advocacy group, on Thursday announced the federal civil rights lawsuit on behalf of Chicago resident Itimad Al-Matar, a 32-year-old Saudi student.

Al Matar, who covers her full body, head and face in the conservative Saudi style of dress, was on her way home on July 4, 2015, and was running up the stairs to catch a train, when a group of police officers ran up behind her, “grabbed [her] and threw her down upon the stair landing,” according to the lawsuit.

Well, unless she has four male Chicago cops to back up her story, she's a loose woman, tramp and whore, and should be stoned to death for her immorality and lies.

LEOs are very aware that Muslims are firm believers in “dry runs” prior to terrorist attacks. But at the same time, they can “start with a bang”.

This is the reason that eventually the US will have to get over its ridiculous aversion to “profiling”. We would have and did profile Germans, Italians and Japanese in WWII, and in most cases while it did restrict their public behavior, it was not intolerable.

The criteria used were that it was in a time of war, and they were “enemy aliens”. It was common practice around the world.

Muslims from other nations are “enemy aliens”.

A judge dismissed the police accusations.

Should that read: A judge dismissed the accusations against the police?

She’s lucky she wasn’t stoned to death since she wasn’t accompanied by a male relative.

Oh, wait. This wasn’t in Riyadh.

Arab News says it’s from the WaPo, but I can’t find the original article.

They come to stop you liking pork beer, dogs, bikinis, Jesus and freedom of speech. It’s called “soft jihad”.
