Within legal limits, yes. Banning facial coverings that render security cameras useless seems be within the legal limits.

I believe you cannot discriminate against protected classes.

The question is does requiring a muslim woman to show her face violate her rights as a member of a protected class? I feel it does not.

Family Dollar was well within their rights to refuse service to this individual

The average Family Dollar shopper does not give a damn about this incident what so ever. It's not often that I go into a dollar store, but I don't care either.

Besides that, she said she had never experienced racism like that before...So, move back to Texas. Thought we were supposed to be the racist ones in the south and completely the opposite in a place like Indiana.

No. But you stated:

They are not within their rights if it is based on race, gender, religion, etc. FWIW, I do not think that was the intent here.

If Christians have to bake gay cakes, then Muslims have to remove anything concealing the face. Sorry Tangerino, you can't have and eat your damn cake.

Religion is protected or it isn't. Can't have both.

Comparing a race being blocked from entry to a clothing issue is pure garbage like 93% of your posts.

Hell, I can't wear a cap, hat or sunglasses into my credit union to get my own money out. The big security guards/police there will beat you the "F" down if you try.

There are signs on both sets of doors entering the CU and they are very serious about that crap.

The weird thing to me is that it would not be easy to rob the place anyway. You don't see a teller except on a TV screen. They are upstairs somewhere. All transactions are handled in the tubes like at the drive through and you talk to them on a telephone handset.

It's okay with me though. I know my money and contents of my safe deposit box are more secure than being in your average bank.

Its Gary, Indiana.. Why does this surprise her? With that said, I can understand having an issue with someone covering their face. They could go into a store, steal shite, get caught on camera and would not be able to be ID'd because they are completely covered up.

You have to be really devoted to your religion to completely cover yourself up in black garments during the summer.

This would have never happened in the 80's. Martial arts were at an all time high. Ninjas were accepted back then.

What the frick kind of bank are you using? Even in the most urban ghetto in the U.S. they just use bullet proof glass. This sounds sketch as shite. You sure this isn't a mob owned betting parlor?
