What if my religious beliefs meant I had to wear evangelistic t-shirts everywhere I went? Could I demand a job?

Isn’t it ALWAYS the case, that OUR world must change for them — never the other way around.

Apparently you can make a pretty good living applying for jobs you know you cannot get, then crying discrimination.

Send her application to the Middle Eastern HR department for the Ambercrombie & Fitch stores, Oh Right, western stores aren’t allowed in the RoP countries, never mind.

Look for more of this BS. Wearing the hijab is more a provocation and political statement than a matter of religious observance. Muslims are using our system against us and we deserve it for being weak. In Muslim countries other religions clearly take a backseat or else.

“...Federal law requires employers to accommodate their workers’ religious practices...”

That would be true for Catholics, Jews, Baptists, Methodists, and other Protestant faiths. Not so for those that follow islam and are muzzies. islam is a political ideology masquarading as a religion. Adherents to islam will use it as cover to justify any negative deed that is used to wipe out the infidel. No religion has the stated purpose to kill non-believers as a constant directive as islam does. Other religions have done that in the past but has long since eliminated the practice. islam continues to do so.

It will be noticed that I do not use upper case letters when typing islam and muslims. The reason for that is simple. I do not respect it and them. They haven’t earned any of my respect. If they earned it, then I would accord them that right. Until then, forget it.

>>was turned down because she wore a Muslim headscarf. <<

Hiring officer:

“Yes, Miss Ali-muhammad, we would have hired you, but you are wearing a head scarf. Thanks for applying though.”

If I were in HR, there is NO way I would hire anyone in a head scarf. Of course there would be other reasons used. Hiring is so subjective that, short of an over statement, nobody can really know why one person was chosen over another. And some people just scream of high maintenance and lawsuit potential. They are best kicked to the street before they really DO have a case.

Bull. The feds are giving special privileges to their favorite minority because their favorite minority hates Christians and Jews.

First the headscarf, then a special prayer room, then no other employees can eat pork, then no Christmas decorations, then...etc, etc.

Actually, I’m kinda surprized A&F didn;t hire little Miss Mohammed.

I thought that A&F was into the liberal, hipster, tolerant viewpoints.

Glad to see they took the right stand here.

Those headscarves are not even religious. They are cultural. It would be like a German guy coming in and saying that to preserve his cultural beliefs he must be allowed to wear lederhosen every day. I wander how A&F would do with this on the sales floor:

What about me? I want a job at Abercrombie & Fitch!


Me, too! I'm a rastafarian!


Don't forget me! I'm a devout feminist!

Muslims don’t have a religious faith; they have a political philosophy.

The whole thing is patently ridiculous - she would be denied her job not because of what religion she practices, but because of what attire she chooses to wear. If she’d take the dang scarf off, she’d probably be welcome to work there. Additionally, if she is so “devout’ that she feels the need to wear the hijab, then she wouldn’t be wearing the (tight and skimpy) clothing that Abercrombie offers anyway, so why would she want to work somewhere which only offers “offensive” products? I smell a rat, on this woman’s part. I hope she gets the smackdown she so richly deserves for pulling this nonsense.
