Minnesota Bill Would Allow Hijab to Be Used as ‘Hands-Free’ Mobile Phone Device

Thursday, 28 March 2019, 13:15 MJA Uncategorized 32

Breitbart – The traditional Islamic female head covering known as the hijab could soon be recognized by law as a “hands-free” device for using a mobile phone while driving, if a new bill in the Minnesota Legislature passes.

The hijab is worn to preserve modesty. Typically, it covers the hair and neck, but not the face.

House Bill 50 (HF 50) is officially titled: “Cell phone use prohibited by person operating a vehicle while vehicle is in motion or a part of traffic, traffic stop study required, report required, and money appropriated.”

An amendment to the bill singles out the hijab as a hands-free device, acknowledging that some female Muslim drivers may use their hijabs to hold their mobile phones while (mostly) keeping their hands on the steering wheel (emphasis added):

(d) “Voice-activated” or “hands-free mode” means an attachment, accessory, application,
wireless connection, or built-in feature of a wireless communications device or vehicle that
allows the person to use the device without the use of either hand except to activate or
deactivate a feature or function. The term includes the use of a scarf or hijab or other item
of clothing to hold a device in a hands-free manner.

The amendment was flagged by John Croman, a reporter for local NBC affiliate KARE 11.

 One Republican, State Rep. Jeremy Munson (R-Lake Crystal), posted a Facebook video blasting the new amendment as “ridiculous.” In the video, he wears a cellphone attached to his face with a necktie.   MORE HERE

  3. Folks, This is what “creeping sharia” looks like. After this they are going to push for indemnity from car wrecks caused by reaching down or jerking the wheel, after the phone falls out.

    FUCK YOU MUZZIE, BUY A BLUETOOTH LIKE EVERYONE ELSE.

  4. How does the hijab dial the phone or answer it? That is the dangerous part. You can look ahead and steer with one hand once you are on the phone. Dialing or answering is when your attention is diverted.

    Bedsides, what are women doing driving anyway?

  5. I don’t care how the device is held to the head or even if it is. Insurance studies have shown that hands-free does nothing to increase safety, merely being on the phone or responding to a call is what degrades safety. But specifying hijab in written law? What is the point?

  8. …sure, why not. You’re ALREADY a moron if you accept the hijab, and we ALREADY can’t trust you not to DELIBERATELY crash your car into things if you wear a hijab, let alone the higher risk that you’ll have an accident because your death cult drove you insane enough to wear a hijab, or maybe you’re weaving because your A!!ah-required body mutilation is making you shift around in your seat because of the pain, so, why NOT throw a loosely-contained cell phone into the mix?

    It’s not like there’s any chance it will fall out, or anything…/s

    …Oh, by the way, woman, what are you doing TALKING? And DRIVING? These are NOT things Mohammad approves for women to DO. And I’m pretty sure that cell phone was not available in the 7th Century, so your “perfect man” didn’t have one, and you better NOT think you deserve something HE didn’t have…

  11. This allows them to receive direct orders from the imam regarding which sidewalks to drive up on in order to achieve the greatest number of infidel casualties. ThisAllahSuck.

  13. ” But specifying hijab in written law? What is the point?”

    …anything and everything to use OUR laws to impose THEIR “religion”. Islam is a political system, deigned to destroy OTHER political systems by any means necessary.

    …this ain’t nothing, though, wait until they say the First Amendment says their pedophilia is LEGAL, since Mohammad did it, that makes it part of their “religion”, and you therefore CAN’T say they can’t do it, @ Left Coast Dan, stuff like this is just the tune-up…

  15. This runs me wrong. First, accommodations are being made for a murderous cult that desires the death of the US. Second, this enforces an action, wearing this piece of cloth, which is nothing more than a symbol of a primitive cults subjugation of women and emphasising there secondary role in society. Last, these people from these crap countries don’t know how to drive and don’t need the distraction.

    I’m embarrassed to say I’m from Minnesota. At least I’m smart enough to have left.

    But you’re still behind the lines in Wa, Joe. We are ucked too if we don’t get ahead of the changes here.

  25. Johnny, that was a fair shot you took there. And a direct hit. At least here in Washington we have mountains, ocean, fewer mosquitoes, less Lyme disease, less humidity in the summer, and it rarely gets to 40 below here in the winter. I still think I’m coming out ahead.

  27. Another example of invasive cultures and creeds diametrically opposed to our liberties and freedoms allowed to be promoted.
    The fact that these dihimmi council members support unreasonable special circumstances for Islamists is beyond stupid. It just never sinks into a leftist tool’s tiny minds, that other individuals in the community have their rights restricted when they make such retarded laws.

  29. Honestly, I don’t care if it was a winter watch cap written into law – clothing of any type is unsuitable to be substituted for holding something when driving, which you shouldn’t be doing anyway. Things slip or slide all the time even from and in people’s hands, let alone a piece of material.

    Moreover, as stated above, hands free does little to nothing to make a difference. A person can be looking at the road and still be distracted. It’s happened to me before with no phone involved at all. (“Mama, look! LOOOOOOK!!!”)

    Just bloody DRIVE, and talk on the phone later.

  30. What are Moslems doing in the US government?
    Aren’t Communists enough to bring down America?
    Do they want Jihadists to kill all US citizens, too?
    This is truly becoming Hell on Earth.
