Muslim Woman Fired From Work For Wearing Hijab In US

[neem456]

Your comment is just an excuse to let the guy off.

neutrality on religion isn't the absence of religion, it is simply treating all religions the same; with this in mind, she had every right to wear it, if the employer didn't like it, its his own damn problem.

If anyone is offended by the hijab, you probably shouldn't be catering to them anyway.

You right only about one thing that it is employers problem. Since its his problem, he is not complaining about it, he rather acted on it.
Hence employer acted on its own and fired her. Employer did not forced her to change her attire or her religion. Rather she is now free to practice it as much she wants at the privacy of her home

You guys are so ashamed of what God has made you that you have to hide it from everyone else.

If this is the case then I believe you must be running naked on streets of India?

If you are a girl and an endowed one then I envy your countrymen for they get to see the natural beauty in its real form .................. but if you are a guy then I pity your countrymen who have to bear the torture of looking at you.

If the turban covered the face ..yes

But Hijab doesnot

Do Scottish people wear Kilt when they get a job in London.

Do Indians wear lungi when they get jobs in offices.

Muslims make issues of small things.

But Hijab doesnot

Please read the post . You are arguing for the sake of it.

She did not wear the hijab for her interview or on the first two days of employment.

She did not were the head cover for the 1st two days or during the interview.

She suddenly turned religious on the 3rd day.

This lady is a dentist who needs to interact with clients. If she was engineer who works alone in a cubicle ppl what she wears would make no difference whatsoever.

I dont know how this

will in anyway affect her ability to interact with clients

I want the West to ban all these Sikhs wearing turbans... they look like terrorists ... *sarc*

Would you say the same for sikhs?

sikhs dont go around blowing up places and shooting at clubs... the world percieves you for what you are... Muslims can no longer claim to be innocent of the crimes their ilk are committing. If her spiritual journey is so important to her, she can continue it elsewhere..

My gas station owner when i was studying in US was a muslim from Gujarat... he asked a sikh student to abandon the turban as he himself wouldn't profess religion at work... and the sikh obliged it without any issues.. i dont know why muslims have issue with everyone and everyting.

even though its not fair but its his office and however he wants nothing wrong with it but think this way. its very positive for her. Allah saved her. she chose religion over job and remember its was test for her. she passed test and after every test theres a reward. she's very lucky to pass this test. remember we are here for test not for stay.

well.. i hope passing these tests will land her at a plush job soon.. afterall there is a reward for every test as u said.

Not every Muslim... Sikhs in Canada protested to keep their turbans in the government jobs.

BTW... Sikhs did the worst terrorist attack in Canadian history by blowing up a Boeing 747 aircraft killing everyone aboard ... so ... if the going gets tough ... Sikh be blowing up stuff...

A single incident by sikh compared to 100s by muslims each and every day of the year... do your math buddy. and btw.. turban doesn't cover the face. only the hair.. that has to be taken into consideration too. I will feel more secured watching a sikh with his turban and face visible rather than a muslim woman with a veil all over her body from head to toe and no visible face... if most of the US citizens feel the same, they would act like how the doctor above acted. come on.. you cannot take away the fact that it is always a security related issue.

Something fishy going on here.

Businesses are not allowed to discriminate on the basis of religion and I am totally surprised that anyone would object to a hijab which does not Hide the face. What could be wrong with that...it is just a scarf...

However, why did this girl not wear the hijab to the interview, basically she presented a lie, this is not moral code of conduct. Was she trying to bring about a scenario to sue the employer?

A business owner has the right to chose how to present his business depending on the needs of his clientele.

Any owner would have been smart and found some other way to remove her if it was so objectionable to him.....that is what performance evaluations and PIPs are for...I don't think this is the full story...I think this lady is not telling the whole truth here.

Like i said... if the going gets tough Sikh be blowing shiit up... just like middle east be going tough... crazies be blowing shiit up... see the correlation.

Sikhs also killed PM of India when things be tough... also Sikhs massacred millions of muslims on partition.. Like i said... when thing be tough Hindu Sikh be blowing stuff up...

Besides all this islamaphia isn't going to bode well for the Sikhs and darker skinned Indians... lol... ironically i have never faced islamaphobia because i don't look "brown" ... i get confused for Italian all the time. But my Indian friends get the brunt of it. So personally I'm all OK with all this... lol

Thats a scam, if on interview she did not wore a hijab, and started wearing from third day after joining.

How can one wear such a outfit in working enviroment ?

OK, I admitted that she didn't wear Hijab on purpose. But would it be OK for the employer not to hire her at the first place if she were to wear Hijab during interview, although she had passed it perfectly fine?
