MARYLAND - Maryland's attorney general says Muslim women and others can be required to temporarily remove face coverings worn for religious purposes before they enter a courthouse

The ACLU and Islamic civil rights activists say their concerned that the opinion could be interpreted to apply to other kinds of head coverings.

"The face veil is believed to be a requirement among a small minority in the Muslim community. The head scarf is a different issue because it does not impede identification," said Amina Rubin, Council on American-Islamic Relations
