"Peter Tartaglia, deputy commissioner of Westchester County Parks, said the Muslim American Society of New York was warned in advance of the rule barring head scarves on rides for safety reasons" Sounds like they went in there seeking an altercation for some sort of publicity, probably part of some group or organization or something.. http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/new-yor...e-playland-over-amusement-park-123309825.html Muslims, police scuffle at Rye Playland over amusement parkâs head scarf ban; 15 arrests made Rye Playland was shut down Tuesday after cops scuffled with Muslims upset that women wearing head scarves were barred from the rides, witnesses said. Fifteen people, including three women, were charged with disorderly conduct and assault in the chaos, authorities said. The Westchester County park was packed with Muslims celebrating Eid-ul-Fitr - the holiday marking the end of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan. One woman, Entisai Ali, began arguing with cops over the amusement park's head scarf, or hijab, rule, said Dena Meawad, 18, of Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. The ban, which is not Muslim specific, was imposed about 3 years ago mostly to prevent hats from falling onto the tracks of roller coasters and other rides, park officials said. "The cops started getting loud with her and she started getting loud, too. They pushed her on the ground and arrested her," Meawad said. Her cousin, Kareem Meawad, 17, went to try to protect the woman and was beaten by cops and also arrested, she added. Her brother, Issam Meawad, 20, was pushed to the ground and taken into custody when he tried to help his cousin, she said. "She just wanted to get on a ride. That was it," Dena Meawad said of the initial confrontation. "It's clear, this all happened because we're Muslim." duh, with a statement like that, she obviously is giving herself away.
They should have just let her go on the roller coaster with a loose dangling scarf, then when it catches in the tracks, the coaster keeps going, and decapitates her its one less PC shithead to deal with.
+1 We don't have enough pc shitheads with grandiose sense of entitlement already, let's kiss up to Muslims while we're at it...
Ya know, this is America, why don't they build their own amusement park and make their own rules. Sheesh. Better yet, why don't they buy one and make new rules.
