Store Refuses Service To Muslim Lady Because She Wont Remove Her Head Scarf Nadia Kamal, a Muslim resident of Philadelphia, was shocked when she was told to remove her hijab at an America Cash Advance center, even though a sign clearly read that hats and sunglasses were not allowed in the facility. The stores employees claim that the policy was originally instituted in response to criminals trying to rob the company with their faces covered. Im in a public place. I cannot do that, Kamal told employees. She then stormed out of the facility and immediately contacted the Council on American Islamic Relations. This is really about ignorance, Dawud Walid, a CAIR spokesperson, told reporters. Its really about fossilized policies and people being stubborn and not coming up to the modern time. Its ironic that Walid mentions the modern time when the Muslim community has been criticized for refusing to accept Western policies and values. Further, if youre going to strictly stick to your religious law, you cannot pick and chose which policies you follow. As one Twitter user pointed out, Islamic law prohibits Muslims from paying interestmeaning that Kamal shouldnt have been getting a loan in the first place. What do you think? Do you agree with this stores policies?
