Ua hoʻouna ʻia kahi leka i ka Pelekikena Obama e ʻimi ana i nā hopohopo e koho ʻia nā huakaʻi Muslim e ʻaʻahu ana i nā pale poʻo hoʻomana, a i ʻole hijab, no nā hana palekana hou aʻe a hiki ke alo i ka hana ʻino ma nā mokulele.
Ua hoʻouna ʻia kēlā leka ma Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) ma hope o kahi hōʻike hou o kahi huakaʻi Muslim i ʻōlelo ʻia i hana ʻia i loko o kahi nīnau ʻehā hola e nā luna US ma ka palena ʻo Kanada.
ʻO ka wahine Muslim, nona ka palapala passport Kanada, ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia ua paʻa ʻo ia no ka nīnau ʻana i ka Pōʻakahi ma Halifax Stanfield International Airport, kahi i ʻōlelo ʻia ai ʻo ia i hoʻōho ʻia a hoʻohālikelike ʻia ʻo ia he "terrorist." Ua hoʻāʻo ʻo ia e kau i ka mokulele i Ohio e kipa aku i kāna kāne, akā ua hōʻole ʻia ʻo ia e komo i ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa. I ka nīnau ʻana o ka mākaʻikaʻi Muslim inā ua koho ʻia ʻo ia no ka mea ʻo ia wale nō ka wahine e ʻaʻahu ana i ka pale poʻo, ʻaʻole i loaʻa iā ia kahi pane.
Ma kāna leka i ka pelekikena, ua ʻōlelo ʻo CAIR National Executive Director Nihad Awad: "Ua mahalo ke kaiāulu Muslim ʻAmelika i nā hana a kāu hoʻokele e mālama i ko mākou lāhui. Hāʻawi ka poʻe Muslim ʻAmelika i kā lākou kākoʻo piha i kēlā hana. Ke manaʻoʻiʻo nei mākou, ʻaʻole i hoʻonui ʻia ka palekana o ke kahua mokulele ma ke mele ʻana i nā huakaʻi e pili ana i ko lākou lāhui, lāhui, a i ʻole hoʻomana. ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, manaʻo mākou ʻaʻole maikaʻi ka hoʻolaha ʻana a me nā mea kūʻē. ʻO ka hoʻolaha ʻana i ka lāhui a me ka hoʻomana e hoʻokaʻawale a hōʻino i nā hui holoʻokoʻa holoʻokoʻa, ʻoiai e hāʻawi wale ana i kahi manaʻo palekana no ka lehulehu huakaʻi.
"ʻO nā mea ʻē aʻe e pili ana i ka hoʻopiʻi pono ʻole e pili ana i ka hoʻohui maikaʻi ʻana ma waena o nā kānāwai hoʻokō a me nā keʻena palekana, ʻoi aku ka nui o nā ʻīlio hoʻoheheʻe pōkā a me nā mea ʻike poma ma nā mokulele, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka uku a me ke aʻo ʻana no nā limahana TSA, a - ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o nā mea āpau - ka nānā ʻana i nā poʻe holo ma muli o ka nānā ʻana. ʻaʻole i ko lākou ʻili ʻili a i ʻole nā ʻaʻahu hoʻomana.
Ua haʻi pū ka leka a Awad i ka haʻi ʻōlelo a ka pelekikena i ka honua Muslim i ka makahiki i hala ma Cairo, kahi āna i ʻōlelo ai: “[F] reeddom ma ʻAmelika ʻaʻole hiki ke hoʻokaʻawale ʻia mai ke kūʻokoʻa e hana i ka hoʻomana o kekahi… ka pono o na wahine a me na kaikamahine e komo i ka hijab a e hoopai i ka poe e hoole ana.
I nehinei, ua kāhea ʻo CAIR i ka Transportation Security Administration (TSA) e wehewehe inā e hoʻomaka koke nā scarves poʻo Islam i nā hana palekana hou no nā huakaʻi Muslim.
Ua hana ʻo CAIR i kēlā noi ma hope o kahi huakaʻi wahine Muslim e holo ana i ka mokulele i ka Pōʻalua mai Washington Dulles International Airport i hōʻike ʻia ua noi mua nā limahana TSA e wehe i kāna hijab, a laila hoʻokomo iā ia i kahi hulina "hoʻohaʻahaʻa" lehulehu i kona hōʻole ʻana. .
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Nadia Hassan, 40, o Maryland, ua paʻi ʻia ʻo ia i mua o kāna kaikamahine, 5, a me kekahi mau limahana kāne TSA. “He mea hoʻohilahila loa ia. ʻAʻole ʻoluʻolu loa ia, "i haʻi aku ai ʻo Hassan i ka The Detroit News ma ke kelepona kelepona mai Kaleponi. “ʻAʻole au i ʻōlelo i kekahi mea. ʻAʻole au i makemake e hoʻopilikia. … He ʻAmelika wau. ʻAʻole wau he haole. Ke hana mai nei ko'u aina ia'u penei?"
I ka nīnau ʻana o ka mea huakaʻi, he kamaʻāina ʻo Maryland i nā limahana TSA e pili ana i ke ʻano o ka mālama ʻia ʻana iā ia, ua ʻōlelo ʻia ʻo ia ua hoʻokō ʻia kahi kulekele hou i kēlā kakahiaka e kauoha ana "ʻo ka mea e ʻaʻahu ana i ka pale poʻo e hele i kēia ʻano ʻimi."
Ma ka Pōʻakahi, ua ʻōlelo ʻo CAIR i nā alakaʻi alakaʻi TSA hou, kahi e hele ai ka poʻe e hele ana mai a i ʻole ma o 13 mau lāhui Muslim-nui e koi ʻia e hele i nā ʻenehana screening i hoʻomaikaʻi ʻia ma mua o ka holo ʻana i nā mokulele.
