now she is still islam - but she joined the african american islamic church near to our work. IT is amazing how she is still of that faith - but the dress restrictions, etc have completely dissappeared.
oh yeah - OSHA says no no - after all, if your headdress comes undone and gets caught in some handwheel on a valve or other machinery, let's face it - you could die, or cause someone else to get hurt.
Even in jail the Islamic service is very ridged I sat in on a few being female I wasn’t allowed near the front, women have to be in the back, shoes left by the door towels were used as prayer rugs. And the prayers the put their hands behind the ears in the beginning and after each prayer get down on their knees to bow down head touching the floor. It’s a long hour. Every thing is in Arabic .
