Dearborn: Two Muslim women sue McDonalds for $10 million for not hiring them over Islamic attire
Jihad Watch ^ | July 25, 2008 | Gregg Krupa

Posted on 07/25/2008 5:28:03 PM PDT by Born In America

Fast food restaurants have employee dress codes not only for appearances, but for hygiene and safety. With that in mind, this case is sounding a lot like the case of the women wanting to wear Islamic attire in a Midwestern tortilla factory. The local health inspector isn't going to take kindly to long sleeves potentially brushing perishable food, and/or the grill and fryer oil, to say nothing of guidelines for hand-washing (see also: the debate over short sleeves in British hospitals). Then there is the matter of long attire and the potential need to make a quick exit in the event of a fire or robbery.

Two thigs abot this strike me as odd.

1) McDonalds serves pork sausage, and Canadian Bacon, and regular Bacon

2) McDonald’s issues uniforms. The key is the uniform, meaning “presenting an unvaried appearance of surface, pattern, or color”.

Since the Hijab is not part of the uniform they must remove it if they want the job. It is the same as some brother coming in wearing a dashiki and a fez. Since Michigan is an “at will” state, either don the uniform or work someplace else.

If they really need a job the “gentlemen’s clubs” along Michigan Avenue are probably hiring, but they have “uniform requirements” too.

If they don’t want to be American that is up to them but the rest of us do not have to suffer bad sanitation and a breach of health code just to play nice to the pedophile following cult. The folks down in OZ have it right. If you don’t like the way we do things than you need to live someplace else. And don’t let the door hit you on the way out!!!!

“How is it they want to work at a restaurant serving non-halal meat?”

Once they’re safely hired, they can start making escalating demands.

I saw this and thought “good for McDonalds” until I read that they disassociated themselves from it.

If it were up to me, I’d allow employers to make these determinations on their own. Moreover, if it were up to me, I’d ban the damn head cover entirely, at least in public institutions like schools, gov. offices, etc.

For any woman to wear one of these is like a Jew wearing a swastika.

Until fairly recently, scarcely any American Muslim women wore head covers. But more have been driven that way by growing fundamentalism and increased pressure from men.

They are African-Americans playing Muslim. Just more race pimping.

Guess this extortion is how CAIR raises extra money. .

McDonald's had better not give in.

These Muslims need to hear some backlash IMHO. . .that if they teach a hatred of 'things' Western; hate the general MO of the country they otherwise choose to reap the benefits of; if they teach their children to hate 'things - and people - American; then these folks need to hear some politically incorrect backlash.

now mickey d’s should counter-sue for 20 mil and all court costs. This government needs to let businesses mind their own business a lot more than they do.

of course with the supreme court making decisions based upon ‘the sentiment of the people’ (LA child-rapist capital punishment), but just what the hell kennedy means we are not sure, so nothing is safe

McDonald’s issues uniforms. ++++++++++++++++ That's the key. As long as they provide the uniform it can be required.
