Thus making it a fashion item.
In this case, it seems it would be very important to establish what fashion items were allowed on other employees in the past. Were other female employees allowed to wear a headband? a neck scarf? another hair accessory that covered part of all of the hair?

It was Allah's will she be fired. She should realize this, as a good little superstitious sheep. She should accept and embrace it. Trust her fairy-tale god to provide. Bad muslim. BAD!

It would seem this particular issue like many in various religions is something they pick and choose to suit their own agenda.

Swing back into the US to score some quick cash to fund his daddies political aspirations! Only in the USA. Imagine a Christian or a Jew doing this in Saudi

Would it be acceptable for a motorcycle club member to come to work wearing Banditos colors in a professional environment? Especially if he didn't the display them at the interview? A hijab is no different. It shows a special loyalty to a particular group or subset of Americans.

As has been pointed out to me this situation falls under religion and is therefore a protected class so yes apparently it is different.

I'm not sure there is a "vital to the practice of the religion" clause in the legislation anywhere.


The fact is that the hijab is a recognized symbol of a practicing Muslim woman.


This dentist is almost certainly in trouble, legally.

Motorcycle clubs are not recognized religions in this country. Comparing apples to footballs....
