victimized. The muslim brotherhood front group that organized this outing to Playland Park, the muslim American society, was informed of the amusement park rules regarding head gear, put in place for public safety. Yet these women came with head coverings and purposely caused a ruckus in order to force a police reaction and then play the victim card and whine about being targeted because they are muslim. Like the flying imams case where these guys purposely drew attention to themselves so that authorities would be forced to act and then proclaim themselves victims of anti-muslim discrimination. Many people are onto the games being played by muslim brotherhood front groups.
People should not be put in danger because muslim women refuse to
forgo their so-called religious way of dressing in public under any
circumstances. If they don't want to be in public without the hijabs or whatever
the hell it is they wear, then expect and accept not being allowed to go on
rides at an amusement park. Western societies must stop putting up with islamic supremacists who refuse to live by the same rules as the rest of us.
Dispute over Muslim headwear sends scores of police to Playland; 10 arrested LoHud.com
UPDATED, 6:20 PM: RYE — A large disturbance broke out at Playland Park today when Muslim visitors got angry that the park was enforcing its ban on headgear by prohibiting the women from wearing their traditional head coverings on some rides.
Police from at least nine other agencies converged on the park beginning at 3 p.m. after county police sought assistance in responding to the disturbance, which involved about 30 to 40 people. At least 10 park visitors were arrested, mostly for disorderly conduct, and two park rangers were injured, authorities said.
The park was crowded with Muslims celebrating Eid-ul-Fitr, one of Islam's two major holidays. Most were from community groups around New York City as part of a day-long event arranged by the Muslim American Society of New York.
Parks officials had “painstakingly” told the organizer about the headgear ban, said parks spokesman Peter Tartaglia, but he said that the rules might not have been communicated by the organizer to some attendees. The ban was implemented about four years ago to keep hats and other head coverings from landing on tracks and derailing rides.
“It’s a safety issue on rides. If it’s a scarf, you could choke,” Tartaglia said.
Accounts of what had happened varied, but everyone agreed the dispute began after park-goers were told the headgear ban applied to women wearing traditional Muslim head coverings, known as hijabs.
Tartaglia said once word of that got out there were “a lot of unhappy people.”
He said park officials were in the process of arranging refunds when members of the Muslim group got into a scuffle with each other.
The two rangers, seasonal county police employees, were hurt trying to break it up, he said. He said one suffered an injured knee and the other an injured shoulder.
Lola Ali, 16, of Astoria said she had witnessed a group of girls and women wearing hijabs go to park security to confront them about the headgear issue.
She said the women were upset and yelling. She said the security officers started pushing them away and the girls stood their ground, at which point the security officers grabbed them, pushed them to the ground and handcuffed them.

Muslims and amusement parks.
Two things that most definitely do not belong in the same sentence.
