Hijab wearer booted from Louisiana Mall

Allegedly.

CAIR outraged (!) and issuing their usual press release to demand an investigation.

Women "humiliated" by long walk out of the mall. Oh, the shame of it all!

CAIR said the 54-year-old woman and her daughter-in-law were leavingthe food court of the Oakwood Mall in the New Orleans suburb of Gretna,La., on February 22 when a security guard approached them and allegedly told the older woman that she had two options: remove her headscarf or leave the mall. (The woman's daughter-in-law was not wearing a headscarf.) The guard did not offer an explanation for his demand.

During the long walk out of the mall, the guard reportedly followed the women and even called for back-up. The daughter-in-law told CAIR that the two women felt "humiliated" by the stares of other shoppers as the guard followed them out of the mall. When two more guards came to the scene, they did not offer assistance to the women, but they did confirm the reason for the first guard's ejection order. The family, all of whom are Americancitizens of Palestinian heritage, has retained an attorney and is exploring their legal options.

"When two more guards came to the scene, they did not offer assistance to the women"...
(What did they want them to do, I wonder?)

According to NOLA.com mall officials learned of the matter through CAIR's press release.

Officials with Oakwood Center said they just learned of the incident and an investigation is under way.

"We're surprised and appalled this has taken place," said Lynn Walters, Oakwood's general manager. "Once we get all the facts, we certainly want to see what we would need to do."

"We're in a quandary as to why this even took place, as we have many Muslim visitors all the time," she said. "This is the first time I've ever heard of anything like this happening."

Who wants to bet there's more to this story than CAIR is telling?

From Religion of Peace (TM) - Pursuing holiness we have this observation and a reminder of ABC's recent staging of an islamophobia sting.

I’ve been in this mall any number of times and seen women wearing the hijab. Neither the guards nor anyone else bothered them. This is almost certainly more BS from CAIR, unindicted terror conspirators and grievance group extraordinaire. CAIR has a long history of dishonesty for exactly this sort of thing. And even when caught at it, they doggedly persist in their “big lie” technique because they know it works.

But here’s what’s interesting - this little event was reported a couple of days after ABC staged a similar event for the show “What Would You Do?”
