USA Today reports and so it goes…
5 CommentsThe Atlanta Journal-Constitution says a Muslim woman was cited for contempt of court yesterday because she refused to remove her hijab, a head covering that she wears for religious reasons.
The paper says Lisa Valentine, 40, was arrested on charges of violating a policy that bars headcoverings inside the Douglasville, Ga., courthouse. A judge ordered her to spend 10 days in jail, but the paper says she was released a few hours later.

5 CommentsA Muslim woman sued a national jewelry chain Tuesday for allegedly not hiring her because she wore a headscarf, the plaintiff’s attorneys said.
Shereen Attia, 24, of Fairfield, had worked for Whitehall Jewelers Inc. in a Solano County mall as a part-time sales associate starting in 2004. She received good reviews but was fired when business slowed. Her manager invited her to reapply six months later, in Oct. 2006, when a full-time employee quit, according to the suit filed in Solano Superior Court.
