Muslim Woman Asked to Remove Head Scarf in NJ Mall

A Muslim woman has accused a New Jersey shopping mall security guard of trying to force her to remove her head-covering garment.

“He came into my face and made a hand gesture like he was going to lift my veil off,’ ” Wakeelah Salaam, 30, told The Post of her ordeal at the Bridgewater Commons Mall last Saturday.

“I felt like he was going to do something. I didn’t feel safe in the mall.”

The US-born Salaam said the confrontation happened about 10 minutes after she entered the mall with her two young sons.

What real reason does she need to go to mall? Really other than try to get a response, it's not like she is shopping for clothes. Screw her leave and go where she'll be respected.

If she wants to live such a traditional freedomless Islamic life, she should go to Somalia or Indonesia.

We do not need their contributions to our society.

This is America and we need to start thinking about ourselves as Americans. If she wants to hide everything but her eyes then she should know she will open herself up to scrutiny.

Looks like a New Black Panther Party member...

If Obama had a daughter, she would look just like her, if you could see what she looked like...

"The US-born Salaam"

She is not a real muslim she is a convert. She is a black woman from the ghetto who is to stupid to know she is giving up her own heritage.

The owners of the mall are idiots for caving in.

Like an American citizen would have any rights in HER country. What a obscene double standard these Islamists have--we do whatever we want in your country and you do whatever we demand in our country or we will behead you. WTF up people and see what is right in front of you about the "peaceful" religion.

American have a right to sterotype muslim, just think if christians, jewish or skin heads flew a plane into one of the trade centers and wanted it to be known it was done under the premise of thier religion, we as americans would have ill feeling towrads anyone assosated with that group. I agree with 10:20 PM! Americans aren't respected nor is our President a good role model for us. Bring back Truman or Reagan.

10:20 read the previous post HER country is America. She was born her and converted. She is from the ghetto, but she thinks she is being cool with her new found religion. She is a black woman who has changed her heritage because of her said black president.

"She said shes worn the niqab to court and to visit a relative in prison without complaint, so was surprised by the security guards actions."

Imagine that, visiting a relative in prison. Evidence she and her family are GHETTO!!

Looks like a curtain wrapped around her head to me. I agree, why should we cater to others when we are expected to act as they do when we go to their country..They could car eless about our religious freedoms.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do. There are valid laws for not being in public with your face covered. You or I cannot wear a mask in public, nor walk into a Wal Mart with a scarf covering our face like Jesse James. We need to quit letting foreign religions (yeah, I know, obama has said that our country owes its very existence to the contributions of muslims throughout our history) and cultures dictate our laws and traditions. Want to wear a veil? Emigrate. Want Sharia law? Emigrate. Get OUT of this country. We don't want you, need you, or desire your culture here. We have our own system of laws and they don't include burning women alive, denying them the right to jobs or travel without a man's permission, or jailing women who are raped (the men get a pat on the back). Whack culture, whack religion, and whack diety. Straight up stupid and straight up crazy.

There is nothing bigot about it. I am looking forward to the day when some radical pulls your hair and runs a dull knife through your neck. Maybe at that moment you will realize what true Americans were concerned about.

Amen 12:43 - I am quite shocked at the bigotry displayed here. But then again - I'm not surprised.

People on this blog are pathetic.... You guys talk so much about The constitution and how everyone should respect it but turn a blind eye when someone follows or does something that u dont agree with.

Well here you are 5:57pm, right on this blog with us. Look I do not care where you come from. My thought is if you want to be in this great country, learn how to talk to us. I hate that our money has been used to to teach us how to talk to you. Then you come here and want to take away everything we feel is why you came here. If you don"t like it here go home. If you do stay, then help get along with us. Don't cause us more problems then we already have. We can"t take care of us and you and yours all at the samr time. map

Islamic religion has NO!!! place in this country. Islamic people should be judged first and trusted last. I do feel i am a bigot or racist but Islam as a whole is extremely dangerous and the folks who follow it are like pitbulls or snakes they can turn at any second

6:44- I'm from the Unites States and I don't need anyone to take care of me. It just blows my mind how close minded people are. Im not an extremist and like to think logically instead of letting emotions dictate my behavior.
And the reason I come to this site it's because Joe has the most up to date news on Delmarva.

My neighbor has a couple of bigots, a few goats, several cows and chickens. So what the problem people? Muslims don't eat bigots they just chop off their heads!

I saw this exact thing in Food Lion on Nanticoke Road several months ago..........only it had on sunglasses and gloves as well. It was scarry and if I had been the manager I would have kicked them out. I watched as IT left and got in the car with a regular dressed black lady. This is America and if you want to be in America then dress like it. You don't have to cover yourself like that in this country so if that's what you want to do MOVE!!! We are a land of the free and I don't want to be around you weirdo's.
