Sultaana Freeman, a 35 year old "Muslim" woman sued to have her drivers license reinstated. Freeman's license was apparently yanked following her refusal to have her face photographed without a veil.
"It's a command from Allah. I veil to obey my Lord ... I want there to be no confusion as to why I veil. It's an act of modesty," the woman was quoted by the Orlando Sentinel.
Other Muslims say that the case is frivolous on its face, and that Freeman's suit will only serve to further create animosity against Muslims.
Here is what I think...
I think this Sultaana Freeman isn't really a Muslim at all. Perhaps, she is just a hired litigator to further create animosity against the Muslim population. And perhaps they seek to use this case, and others like it, to portray Muslims as unreasonable and dangerous — all the more reason to justify their complete eradification from the face of the planet.
And if my assumption is correct, there will be more of these types of media campaigns.
Whether or not I'm right in my presumption about this woman, the fact is no one is forcing her to show her face in public. She has the right to refuse to pose for a photograph with her face exposed. She doesn't have to operate a motor vehicle.
Of course, if Ms. Freeman wishes to fight this battle, there is actually a reasonable reason to resist having one's likeness on their drivers license — or any other form of government paper. It is because these documents are being used against us as a means of government identification and database profiling. And the feds have plans to use the state drivers licenses as a federal identification card, which will eventually give way to an implantable identification chip.
If Ms. Freeman wants to remain free, she might ought to change the purpose of her lawsuit. But for her reasons, it just sounds ridiculous.
