Way to show how backwards Georgia can be: Ga. judge jails Muslim woman over head scarf - Yahoo! News.
While I am totally on the woman's side, I do think she weakened her position a bit after the bailiff told her she could not enter the court with the hijab on, she told him that she "had been in courtrooms before with the scarf on and that removing it would be a religious violation. When she turned to leave and uttered an expletive..." After which the bailiff handcuffed her and took her before a judge.
Still. Georgia: Wake up.
