Dispute
over Muslim headwear
[Dispute over
Muslim headwear sends scores of police to Playland; 10 arrested] "...Parks
officials had “painstakingly” told the organizer about the headgear ban, said
parks spokesman Peter Tartaglia, but he said that the rules might not have been
communicated by the organizer to some attendees. The ban was implemented about
four years ago to keep hats and other head coverings from landing on tracks and
derailing rides.
“It’s a safety issue on rides. If it’s a scarf, you could choke,” Tartaglia
said..." Safety?
It's dehumanizing (Dan 11:37).

Response to comment [from a Catholic]: "...Whoopty-doo!"
These dirty yaks (Ge 16:12) don't deserve wives (Dan 11:37, Prov. 18:22). They don't dwell
with them according to knowledge nor honor them (1 Pe 3:7).
