...'appropriate' clothing
The defense attorney who wore a traditional Islamic outfit during the rowdy arraignment of the accused Sept. 11 terrorists is defending her courtroom appeal that other women in the room wear more "appropriate" clothing to the proceedings -- out of respect for her client's Muslim beliefs.
Cheryl Bormann, counsel for defendant Walid bin Attash, attended the arraignment Saturday dressed in a hijab, apparently because her client insisted on it. She further requested that the court order other women to follow that example so that the defendants do not have to avert their eyes "for fear of committing a sin under their faith."
At a press conference Sunday at Guantanamo Bay, Bormann said she dresses in a hijab at "all times" when she meets with her client "out of respect" for his beliefs. Asked why she requested other women do the same, Bormann said, "When you're on trial for your life, you need to be focused."
Bormann, who is not Muslim, claimed the issue came up several years ago, when a paralegal wore "very short skirts" and it became a distraction for the defendants. She said that on Saturday, "somebody" was also dressed "in a way that was not in keeping with my client's religious beliefs."
"If because of someone's religious beliefs, they can't focus when somebody in the courtroom is dressed in a particular way, I feel it is incumbent upon myself as a counsel to point that out and ask for some consideration from the prosecution," she said. "Suffice to say it was distracting to members of the accused."
The clothing request was just one of several unusual moments during Saturday's lengthy and chaotic hearing.

I want my rastafarian rights conceded to in that courtroom. I'm also a frisbetarian, and a pedestrian.

Do they allow mini skirts and tube tops in court rooms? How about someone wearing cologne that smells like bacon?

If the OP wasn't terror related, it would fit right into Mind Numbing Stupidity.
We are talking about the mastermind behind 9-11. He admits he killed 3000+ people. And an idiot lawyer is worried about offending a muslim terrorist?
How offensive is a military firing squad? Or a Noose. He's facing death penalty charges.
This is just another muslim attempting to make a non-believing people submit to islam...its just a game to him.
Lets just have the trial, kill him and get it over with.

The dipshit attorney in her burqa/hijab/blankie apparently has failed to observe that her clients simply don't give a shit. They know they're going to be "martyred" so it's not like they've got to impress a jury or judge......

Judge should order that due to security risk, everyone in the court room has to get naked.... :panic: :panic: :rofl:

Defendant attash needs to get his mind out of the gutter and be more tolerant of Western culture and attire. He chose to come to us and attack us. We didn't ask him to meddle in our culture.

That works for me. No discrimination could ever be claimed.

The uglies should get 2. Then they could be the cousin movement to the so called "TeaBaggers".
