pretty normal that she was fired. She was being dishonest with her employer. She had the chance to say "ok i won't wear the headscarf" but instead kept it and got fired. The employer has the right to fire people that don't match the requirements for the job, and that lady pretended to be someone else during her job interview and then revealed her true identity.
she's now playing the discrimination card, how convenient, what about being honest during the job interview or not wearing your stupid headscarf
On the bold, religious people do indeed stop wearing their religious dress if they are going on job interviews. Not sure why you are not getting this.
Xenophobia against Muslims in particular are at an all time high. Of course if she went into the interview with her headscarf on, they would have prejudged her (i.e. been prejudiced against her) and probably wouldn't have offered her the job.
She did what she had to do to get the job like all people who interview do. I'm sure if you go on an interview, like most normal people, you will be very neutral and bland in your style of dress and look traditionally "professional." A headscarf is not seen as "traditionally professional." So she would not wear it on an interview.
So she doesn't need to be "traditionally professional" on the job? I think she set them up.

Orthodox Jews don't take off their kippah in public for any reason.
I'm calling that she's a pot stirrer.
^^^ this.
They (Muslims) are using our laws to defeat us. They said they would do so way back when and they are doing it.
The employer cant ask about her religion. She doesnt have to go in talking all about it, nor really explain it even if she wore it. She shouldnt have been fired for it because that IS discrimination. She was not fired for doing a bad job, she was fired for wearing a head covering.
It wasn't discrimination. (Gee, I could swear I answered that)
In some jobs, head coverings are required. So why would there be jobs where head coverings are not desired?
What if she were wearing a hat? Does the employer not have a say in the matter?
Can we separate this from the religion issue.
Bam!
Some jobs require a man to where a jacket and tie, or a women to dress in similarly business like attire.
In some jobs, a hijab might actually be dangerous.
The traditional Muslim dress might be offensive to some or make them feel "threatened." (We hear that a lot today, and the "threatened" person is always the winner - so why not in this case?)
Muslims are using our laws to make inroads into our culture. They do not wish to assimilate. They are here to change US to make America Sharia compliant. It's happening everywhere, and Americans had better wake up, because we are about to lose our country.
But if they complain, they will be the ones to lose the argument. If we Americans are uncomfortable or feel threatened, it's just tough.
It's really bad when you have to explain your toddler.
My kid never saw someone wearing a burqa until few weeks ago in a grocery store.
She was confused and startled at the same time and kept on looking at them and then asking me what is that.
After we were alone, she asked if it's something scary.
I told her they are people wearing masks playing a funny game to keep her at ease.

The DC area is full of Muslims wearing their various styles of covering, it is not unusual. At Tysons mall, I felt like I was in Dubai sometimes. Point is no one here is shocked or in awe over seeing a Muslim in their garb.
Other than going from professional to more business casual attire, what you portray during a job interview should align with what you're going to portray during the job.
It's no different than hiring people who sound professional during the interview, but stop sounding professional once they start the job. I don't understand that. It's dishonest and starts the employee off on a bad foot.
Can anyone imagine hiring someone to work with the public, who came in dressed in professional attire, and then showed up for work wearing a plain dress, a veil and a rosary around her neck?
