No, it's defying his religion to enter a restaurant that demands he take off his turban.

"I'm sorry, this dish isn't Kosher, I'm going to have to sue you so you make it Kosher"
"This Hooters restaurant shows skin, and I'm not allowed to see that according to my religion. I'm going to have to sue you and make the girls cover up."
"My religion doesn't allow me to mention God, I'm going to have to sue the Government to take the word God out of the Pledge of Allegance"

This case seems similar to the above. How do you feel about them?

exactly.

they are not discriminating him based on his religion they are saying that nobody can wear anything on their heads. if his turban is such a critical part of his religion then he should choose to wear it rather than go in the club, its that simple.

these rules apply to EVERYONE, i hate it how people always expect that the rules don't apply to them for whatever reason.

But, in a private establishments... if the customer doesn't like the policy, he or she can go somewhere else.

Ditto.

If the place says no hats for EVERYONE then why should they let this guy in? He DOESN'T have to go their........he can go else where............

As for the turban on the plane thing thats just being fvcking stupid. If he had a bomb under the turban then what? Of course they are going to check it. Its as if someone wearing a stetson on the plane and not letting anyone check it out. It could have a dam bomb and blow up the plane.......

Places also say no animals allowed. I don't think that they should kick out a handicapped person if he has a helper dog. Some people get exceptions :)

I have been to Donzi's many times and they have a strick dress code. No hats, no jeans, no clothing with holes ripped in them. Women cant even wear hats there they just want to promote an upscale image. I dont see the big deal with the turban but its thier rules and they can choose how to enforce them. The rules have nothing to do with religion its just a dress code and I believe that they have a sign stating this dress code out front by the door.

so could a private business not serve, say, asian people because it's up to the discretion of the owner?


That is an unnecessary extreme to bring into the topic. The are barring HATS, regardless of who wears them. MANY buildings, prublic and private require shirts and shoes.


THey should definitely be leniant, but do not have to be
