Muslim Girl and Mother Sue 'Abercrombie & Fitch' Because Daughter Wasn't Hired

One has to wonder what's next. Will Muslims sue such chains as Victoria's Secret for not being hired or having to handle slinky undergarments if they are? Perhaps Muslims who apply to work as lifeguards will sue when they find out they have to wear a bathing suit. Muslims have already accepted jobs to handle pork or alcohol products only to then turn around and sue their bosses.

Plenty of us have applied to jobs and haven't been hired because we lack qualifications. The difference is we, including many secular Muslims, don't resort to lawsuits. Isn't it interesting that there haven't been any lawsuits against Abercrombie & Fitch from religious Jewish women who also cover their heads with a scarf? One has to wonder why Muslims are the ones involved in all of these ridiculous lawsuits.

Another point to consider is that many of the Islamic organizations in the United States and Europe will not a hire a secular individual who they perceive as dressing too provocatively. Surely these organizations, who also tend to hire only Muslims, are a prime example of discriminatory behavior.

Perhaps the saddest part about this lawsuit is the fact that a devout Muslim probably would never set foot into an Abercrombie & Fitch store, especially considering their risque images of scantily clad men and women on the walls of their store.

Here's the latest in insane Muslim demands. From Tulsa World:

A popular national chain of clothing stores is being sued by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission for allegedly not hiring a Muslim Tulsa teenager because she wears a hijab, a religiously mandated head scarf.

The EEOC filed the lawsuit Wednesday against Abercrombie & Fitch in U.S. District Court in Tulsa, citing the Civil Rights Act of 1964, modified in 1991, as the basis for the action.

The suit says that Samantha Elauf, 17, applied in June 2008 for a sales job at the Abercrombie Kids store in Woodland Hills Mall.

A district manager allegedly told her that the hijab, which Elauf wears in observance of her religious beliefs, did not fit the store's image.

"Defendant refused to hire Ms. Elauf because she wears a hijab, claiming that the wearing of headgear was prohibited by its Look Policy, and, further, failed to accommodate her religious beliefs by making an exception to the Look Policy," the lawsuit states.

Elauf went to the Council on American-Islamic Relations-Oklahoma, which helped her file a complaint with the EEOC in Oklahoma City.

The Civil Rights Act protects people from discrimination based upon religion in hiring and in the terms of their employment, an EEOC press release says.

The law requires employers to reasonably accommodate the religious practices of an employee unless doing so would create an "undue hardship" for the employer.

Michelle M. Robertson, a senior trial attorney for the EEOC, stated, "It is unlawful for employers to treat applicants or workers differently based on their religious beliefs or practices in any aspect of employment, including recruitment, hiring and job assignments."

The lawsuit was filed after the parties failed to reach a settlement, the release states....
