The female attorney of one of the 9/11 trial defendants is calling for all women in the courtroom to wear “appropriate” clothing during proceedings out of respect for her client’s religious beliefs, Fox News reported.

Civilian defense attorney Cheryl Bormann wore a full hijab during Saturday’s arraignment hearing for self-proclaimed 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammad and his four co-defendants, and asked the court to order other women to do the same.

She said the defendants’ Muslim beliefs cause them to have to avert their eyes “for fear of committing a sin under their faith” when they see a woman who is not covered up.

The judge ignored her request, the Guardian reported, but Bormann kept up the call Sunday.

“When you’re on trial for your life, you need to be focused,” she said, according to Fox.

Speaking at a press conference from Guantanamo Bay, Bormann, who is not Muslim, said she wears a hijab at “all times” when she meets with her client, Walid bin Attash.

Bin Attash has told investigators he helped select and train many of the hijackers involved in the Sept. 11 attacks and said he was involved in the 2000 attack on the U.S.S. Cole. He was brought into the courtroom Saturday strapped into a restraining chair and was only released after he promised not to disrupt the proceedings.

"When you’re on trial for your life, you need to be focused,” she said, according to Fox.

yeah and I just concentrate when my life is at stake if the females arent appropriately dressed or covered up...

I don't understand how she can do that job, she must be a worthless person.

Its a shame the judge did not so order her to shut her cockholster and have it entered into the record.

How can someone smart enough to get through law school fails to understand how ridiculous it is for them to expect everyone around them to conform to their faith.

It's stunningly un-American.

I sure hope that nothing terrible happens to her.

A hijab has been no defense for western women in Arab countries when things went sideways.

Fuk that shit.

i dont think they really had much prep time for that trip



America, FUCK YEA!

Cut his fucking balls off. That should help him "control" himself and his "urges".

If you are facing the death penalty and you are so much of a horny bastard to be distracted from that by some woman's hair...well, its your own dumbassed fault.
