A Muslim woman has won her battle with a supermarket in western Sweden which informed her that she could not work there if she chose to wear a headdress.
The Ica Kvantum supermarket in Västra Frölunda has now made adjustments to its dress code following criticism from the Ombudsman against Ethnic Discrimination (Diskrimineringsombudsmannen - DO).

These people are literally coming out of the woodwork in the Twin Cities. They’re taking your credit card at hotels, waiting on shoppers at the mall, etc.

All religious headdress should be banned. Would send extremists scurrying back to their hellholes.

I think they should wear the scarf...a good way to tell friend from foe with the time comes.

"The supermarket has agreed to apologize to the woman and pay her compensation to the value of 80,000 kronor ($11,700)." Paid to terroize to host culture.

Head coverings are fine as long as they don't interfere with your job. (are islamic women alowed to have jobs?)
Jews wear a yarmicle (sp? the small round thing) and I have no objection
My objection is face coverings. When you are in public you need to be recognizable. With the exception of winter scarves outside only when the tempurature is below 0, faces needt to be visible at all times. No burqa or face scarfs ever.

A minor victory, but one question remains unanswered.
If I refuse to be served by this muslim person, will I be arrested?
I suspect that there might be a large segment of muslim customers there? Right?

Anyone who willing gives their crdit card, check or cash to a person wearing a tent over their head is a moron.

I repeat, banning all religious headdress (only in public places of course, schools, drivers license) would have an enormous effect on moderating ALL religions. Badly needed IMO

Anyone who can’t see by now that Islam is a political club hiding behind a “religion” is certified.
To: tkathy
What about freedom of religion.
Why draw the line at headdresses. Why not ban cross necklaces. Jesus Saves t-shirts. That's not moderating religion, its stifling it.
I put the line at face coverings for public safety reasons, the rest is acceptable religious expression.

Why purchase anything at all? Walk out, leave your intended purchases laying on the counter.
There are usually 10 stores selling the exact same junk in every town.
(Yeah, they don’t like the left hand! Or bacon.)

Two year tour in Turkey leave ya with no choices but to deal with mooslimb cashiers. Doesn’t mean you can’t get a little jab at them! Besides, it’s fun to see the look of horror on their faces!

We are talking about harnessing muslim extremism. Other religions could sacrifice a little in order to possibly save millions of lives.
