US man admits to ripping off woman's hijab on flight

When did we start becoming assholes?

A 37-year-old man has admitted in court that he ripped off a woman's hijab on board a flight in the US after screaming "Take it off! This is America!"......

....Seated a few rows in front of him was a woman he had never met before. She was wearing a hijab, which Payne recognised as a Muslim practice.

He stood up, walked down the aisle and stopped next to her seat. Looking down at the woman, Payne instructed her to remove the covering, the Washington Post reported.

"Take it off! This is America!" Payne was quoted as telling the woman. When she did not do it herself, Payne grabbed the hijab from the back and pulled it all off......

What an idiot. Hijabs are more about tradition than religion. My wife wishes she could wear one on those really bad hair days.
