] Turns out the Florida woman who is suing for the right to
] wear a Muslim headdress in a driver's license photograph
] has previously been subjected to an, um, unveiled
] government portrait. Following her 1997 conversion to
] Islam, Sultaana Freeman (formerly Sandra Keller) was
] arrested in Decatur, Illinois for battering a foster
] child. Freeman, 35, pleaded guilty in 1999 to felony
] aggravated battery and was sentenced to 18 months
] probation. As a result of the conviction, state officials
] removed two foster children from Freeman's care. The mug
] shot of the felonious Freeman (below left) was taken
] after her arrest in the Illinois case. Freeman returned
] to the dock this week--that's her testifying in the below
] right photo--to challenge Florida rules requiring
] prospective drivers to submit to unveiled photos for
] their licenses. Last year, Freeman sued the state after
] her license was revoked when she failed to allow
] officials to photograph her sans headdress. State
] officials contend that, in light of the September 11
] attacks, it is crucial that all motorists now be
] photographed in an unadorned state.

My personal theory had been that she was horribly disfigured under that thing.. Missing half her face.. Burn scars.. Michael Jackson shit.. Maybe looking just like The Joker, everywhere but the eyes. Maybe she could take a more American approach, get a balakava hood and a visor, and do the Storm Shadow GI Joe thing..

shrug..
