Ginnnah Muhammad, 42, wore a niqab - a scarf and veil that cover her head and face, leaving only the eyes visible - during a court hearing this month in Hamtramck, a city surrounded by Detroit. She was contesting a $2,750 charge from a rental-car company. District Judge Paul Paruk told her he needed to see her face to judge her truthfulness and gave her a choice: take off the veil while testifying or have the case dismissed. She kept it on. 'I just feel so sad,' Muhammad told the Detroit Free Press for Sunday's edition. '... I didn't feel like the court recognized me as a person that needed justice. I just feel I can't trust the court.'
