US airport forces Muslim teen to remove hijab
08-01-2002
WASHINGTON, DC - CAIR- A 17-year-old Muslim high
school student from
Virginia says that she was intimidated into removing
her religiously
mandated headscarf by a security guard at
Baltimore/Washington
International Airport (BWI). The Council on
American-Islamic Relations
(CAIR), a prominent Washington-based Islamic advocacy
group, said today
that the incident amounted to a "public strip search"
and called for an
apology from airport, airline and security officials.
(A Muslim Secret Service agent was recently removed
from a flight at BWI because of what he says was
racial and religious profiling.)
The teenage traveler told CAIR that after she went
through a security checkpoint on her way to a
Northwest Airlines flight, a guard shouted, "Hey
you need to take that off," referring to her
headscarf. She responded by asking, "Why do I have
to take off my head cover?" The girl was then
surrounded by military personnel in camouflage
uniform with combat rifles.
She became terrified and removed her headscarf
immediately.
The student also said that a Muslim airport employee
saw what was happening and came to her assistance.
The employee informed the guard that it was wrong to
force the student to remove her headscarf in public.
"For a Muslim woman, being forced to remove her
headscarf in this manner is equivalent to a public
strip search," said CAIR Civil Rights Coordinator
Hodan Hassan.
"This incident reaffirms the need for additional
training on policies and procedures that will improve
airport security without violating civil
liberties and religious rights," said Hassan. She
added that CAIR provides such training for
corporations nationwide.
CAIR's civil rights department has received more than
170 reports of airport profiling of Muslims or those
who are perceived to be "Middle Eastern" since the
terrorist attacks of September 11. The group is
asking
for an investigation of the incident and an apology
to the Muslim teen. That request is being sent to
BWI, Delta Airlines, Northwest Airlines and Globe
Aviation Services, the firm hired to screen
passengers at that gate.
