Muslim Woman Asked to Leave Line at a Navy Federal Credit Union Because of Head Scarf

A Muslim woman was asked to leave her place in line at a credit union in Southern Maryland and be served in a back room because the head scarf she wore for religious reasons violated the institution’s “no hats, hoods or sunglasses” policy, the woman said yesterday.

The incident at the Navy Federal Credit Union on Saturday was the second in a month for Kenza Shelley, and Muslim advocates fear it could become a problem nationwide as many financial institutions, intent on curbing robberies and identity theft, ban hats and similar items without appropriate accommodations for religious attire.

“This may be the tip of the iceberg,” said Ibrahim Hooper, a spokesman for the Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations. “There’s got to be a way to work it out so that this security concern does not lead to violations of constitutional rights.”

Shelley, 54, who runs a day care out of her home in Lexington Park, said she has used the credit union in the St. Mary’s County community of California for more than 10 years. Until February, no employees had complained about her head scarf, which covers her hair but not her face. But a few weeks ago, she said, she was standing in line to deposit a check when an employee asked her to come to the back room, referring to a new policy that prohibited hats, hoods and sunglasses. She complied but asked whether she would have to go through the same process each time she made a transaction.

When was the last time you studied the life of the beloved of Allah (swt)? When was the last time you spent time with Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)? When was the last time you learnt about the history of the Muslims during the life of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)?

Are you willing to spend two weekends with the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)? Seriously. Would you?
