You didn't fix anything. First, what makes you think the Usher was mad? It seems the person wearing the hat had the issue. He was at a solemn ceremony and asked to take his hat off off, while I don't know I am sure it was stated politely at least the first time. That person then took it upon themselves to put it back on. Then someone came and said something a second time.
Why would you make such an idiotic statement? "The true tragedy here is that someone was more concerned with decorum than a soul who could end up in Hell because they cared about what he wore instead of his spiritual condition."
I don't see anywhere where he was asked to leave. The young man was taking part in a solemn religious ceremony, presumably something he asked to be a part of? If so why would you buck the traditions of something you have ASKED to be a part of? You do as asked.
It is not a persons place to ask why, it is a persons place to do as asked and to follow the traditions and rules of what ever institution you are visiting. If you don't want to follow the rules and traditions then don't go.
Etiquette 101: The Dos and Don'ts of Visiting Mosques in the Middle East
Do take off your shoes before you enter
Muslims take off their shoes every time they enter a mosque. They expect visitors to follow their lead and show the same respect when they enter a mosque.
Women: Please do cover your hair
Muslim women cover up during prayer. Their traditional dress covers their hair and is wide, non-transparent, and long sleeved. It is respectful of non-Muslim women to also wear hijab, a scarf that covers their heads, when visiting a mosque.
Do wear proper clothes
As mosques are sacred, it is not appropriate for either men or women to wear short clothes that show much skin. Long trousers and shirts or t-shirts are suitable for men, and maxi long-sleeved dresses, skirts and blouses or trousers and long-sleeved shirts with a headscarf are suitable for women.
Do turn off your mobile
As Muslims go to mosques to worship God, there must be nothing that interrupts their practice. It is very disturbing to hear a phone ringing, or someone talking on the phone. So, Muslims and visitors must switch off their phones or put them on silent mode before entering a mosque.
Don’t eat or drink inside a mosque
Muslims don’t eat or drink inside mosques. It is not forbidden, but they fear affecting its cleanliness and tidiness. However, on some occasions they gather in mosques, bringing sweets to share and to celebrate. These occasions include Ramadan, both Eids and social events like weddings. Everyone works together afterwards to clean up.
Don’t raise your voice
Muslims look for peace as they worship God inside mosques. During your visit, make sure that you don’t make any noise, speak loudly, laugh hard or talk on the phone. Keep the calmness of the place intact and show respect.
