Suit Will Charge Judge With Improperly Requiring Removal of Hijab

By Howard M. Friedman

ADVERTISEMENTS
The Detroit News reports that the Michigan chapter of CAIR today will file suit against Wayne County Circuit Judge J. William Callahan. The suit will claim that the judge ordered a Muslim woman, Raneen Albaghdady, to remove her headscarf (hijab) during a hearing on her application to change her name. CAIR says that this violated her free exercise rights. Unlike a prior case in Detroit, here the woman's face was fully visible. YouTube has a video of part of the exchange between the judge and Albaghdady.
