This Wednesday a cop in Millersville, TN pulled over a Muslim man for a minor traffic violation.
The driver informed the officer that his dead child was in the trunk of the car, but he had a permit from the coroner allowing for transportation. The man didn’t permit to let the cop see the child, stating that he was abiding by Muslim burial tradition.
He also didn’t show the permit he claimed he obtained from the coroner. Millersville Police Chief David Hindman claimed a language barrier prevented much communication.

Wonder if he would also extend the same courtesy to a Christian and his tradition?
WHAT?????
this is simply tragic, on a human level, but please tell me why does it have to say “Muslim”? I mean if they were Christian, would the headlines say that? Buddhist? Jewish?Atheist? We seriously need to stop dividing each other, ANYTIME a person is found in these circumstances, it’s tragic, no need to add to it, using some invisible/magic line drawn by race, religion or color, a social construct that further impedes us as humans
Our laws outweigh their traditions. That rookie should be pushing papers for the rest of his career
WHAT?????
I’m sorry, but the lack of tolerance on here is appalling. I understand that the officer should have checked for foul play, but speaking as a child loss parent, I feel for this family. The Islamic law states very clearly how one should be buried. Would all of you keyboard warriors be saying the same thing if the person pulled over was a white Jewish person (who’s burial traditions are similar)? Or even a Christian transporting their child for burial. At 15 weeks, a child has NO CHANCE of viability. There is not a birth certificate issued. Generally speaking, there is not even a death certificate. They were transporting a fetus to be laid to rest.
Just because someone is Muslim does not mean they are all bad. There are extremists in every group. Ever heard of the KKK? But they must not be terrorists or bad because they’re white.
OMG! This country is DOOMED!!
There in America American law arrest some film in jail unless your chicken s***
He should have arrested him. He he was a an Amercian he would have been arrested.
He should have been arrested, then see what it was about. Policeman didn’t do his job!
