Muslim woman: Roller rink didn't allow head scarf

VERNON, Conn. (AP) — A Muslim woman in Connecticut says a roller rink's request that she either remove or cover her head scarf was discriminatory.

Marisol Rodriguez-Colon of Windsor tells WTIC-TV that she and her sister-in-law went to the Ron-A-Roll indoor rink in Vernon on Sunday for her niece's birthday party. She says inside, a woman who identified herself as a manager told them they would have to either remove their hijabs or wear helmets. She was told the rink has a policy prohibiting headwear.

Rodriguez-Colon said removing her scarf was "not an option," and they left.

Rink management issued a statement reiterating the no headwear policy and saying helmets are offered for safety purposes.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations says it has filed a complaint with the Connecticut Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities.

Let it be in five years time the backlash is gonna be so big, your gonna pay tickets to see this kind of shit. Once europe gets some serious policy change all will be fine.

So what? It's a private business. Of course CAIR jumps into the frey, I guess just going somewhere else is out of the question

 I gotta say I am losing my sympathy for Muslems.

 5 years ago I would defend them and say they should be respected and shouldn't be judged with a broadbrush.

 But lately i'm realizing Islam is a fucking strange cult of self-righteous people who think they are superior to all others. Because they think their big Daddy in the sky is the real one. And Jihad is a very real and commonly held belief among them.

 It's a religion this world would be better off without. Just like Christianity.
