Another successful shake down for sharia. Like airport security and prayer in school, there are rules for Muslims and rules for everyone else.

The Oklahoma Bankers Association has
tweaked its recommended “no hats, no hoods, no sunglasses” security
policy at banks after an incident at a Tulsa bank last year involving a
woman customer wearing a religiously mandated head scarf, or hijab,
raised discrimination claims.
The Oklahoma Bankers Association clarified
the voluntary initiative, designed to boost safety at banks by making
it easier to identify robbers, after meeting with the American Civil
Liberties Union of Oklahoma and the state chapter of the Council on
American-Islamic Relations.
The meeting was prompted in October when,
at a Tulsa bank, a woman wearing a hajib was told she would have to be
escorted into the bank because of the policy on head-covering attire.
She and groups supporting her claimed the policy was discriminatory.
The ACLU and state CAIR chapter on Thursday praised the industry group for responding to those concerns.
“We are incredibly pleased that the OBA
recognizes that respecting the religious requirements of their customers
and ensuring a safe and secure banking environment can go hand in
hand,” Ryan Kiesel, executive director of the ACLU of Oklahoma, said in a
statement.
Adam Soltani, executive director of state
chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, said his group met
with Oklahoma Bankers Association members to explain the different
types of head coverings worn by Muslim women and those of other faiths.
The OBA essentially just announced to bank robbers in Oklahoma that if they wear a burka like bank robbers do in Philly, they’ll have much less resistance. See video click here
