She needs a new mattress!
« on: April 17, 2011, 04:33:15 PM »
But my neck really, REALLY hurts!

Quote
MANCHESTER • Syeeda Hussaini has suffered from neck pain the past few years, to the extent that it's difficult for her to drive and get a good night's rest.

So on a recent weekend, she, her husband, and their three kids loaded up the car and drove less than a mile to Mattress Firm. Her husband, Mohammad, encouraged her to lie on different beds to see which one felt best.

She said the store manager approached, but oddly didn't want to help. He told the family that he wouldn't sell them a mattress for security reasons, she said.

Hussaini, 27, who is Muslim, covers all but her hands, feet and eyes in public to show respect for femininity and her religion. She said the manager told her she needed to show her face for service. Mohammad, a pathology resident at Barnes-Jewish Hospital, tried to explain that his wife dressed this way to be modest, much like Catholic nuns. But the manager stomped off, they say.

There are many states that forbid the hiding of one's face except for Halloween. This falls back to the days of when the KKK was really rampant. It seems to me that the Muslims want to have it both ways. I wonder how a Muslim would feel if a group of Klansmen came up to them with their faces covered?? I also wonder what he state law is. The fact IS that the Muslims aren't required to cover their faces. It's a choice of I would suppose  the husband. There are many that just wear the "hijab", which is just a scarf for all practical purposes.

You know its a wonder the Klan hasn't gone off and made a few midnight calls on Muslims since 9/11. If anyone would you would think it was that group.

No shoes, no shirt, no face, no service?
