Reading deeper into the article, this makes less and less sense.

The article says that Abercrombie "had previously made accommodations — in fact, even for headscarves and yarmulkes" in the past.

So is the lawsuit really about forcing Abercrombie to let employees wear headscarves for religious reasons? I mean, it looks like they already do that.

And I don't think Abercrombie would fight this all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court just to make a point, especially if they have already made the exception for other employees. Its too expensive and too bad for PR to for Abercrombie not to just settle.

There must be some technical legal point that is really driving this. The issue of whether the employee has to affirmatively claim a religious exemption, perhaps. Or something the author just missed.

Not hiring a muslim should be good PR.
