Family Dollar Manager Kicks Muslim Woman Out Of Store For Wearing Head Scarf (VIDEO)

The manager of a Family Dollar store in Gary, Indiana, forced a Muslim woman wearing a niqab to either remove her head scarf or leave the store because she said she feared the woman might be a robber attempting to hide her face.

In the video, which you can see below, the store manager is heard to tell the customer, Sarah Zawjahtul AbdAllah Salaam:

“Yes, ma’am, if you can’t remove that from your face I need you to leave the store.”

Salaam reminds the store manager that she has the scarf covering her face for religious reasons. To that, the store manager responds:

“You have to understand, too, that this is a high-crime area where we get robbed a lot. You need to remove that from your face or remove yourself from the store. Remove that from your face or remove yourself from the store, please. I’m the manager, and I’m telling you to leave my store. Have a blessed day. My name is Janie, and have a blessed day.”

Once more Salaam tries to raise an objection to the manager’s insistence that she take off her niqab or leave:

“This is a country where it’s freedom of religion and it’s freedom of speech. I have a right to wear whatever I want to wear. There’s women that come in here with bikini tops on.”

The store manager then threatens to call the police:

“I’ll have the cops come and remove you, thank you.”

As the leaves the store, Salaam can be heard to remark:

“Help this world right now.”
