Supreme Court takes up religious bias case over hijab

The Supreme Court will consider whether retailer Abercrombie & Fitch's refusal to hire a woman wearing a Muslim headscarf was religious discrimination.

A lower court said the New Albany, Ohio-based company didn't discriminate against the job applicant because she didn't' say she needed a religious accommodation.

But the Supreme Court on Thursday agreed to hear the Obama administration's appeal.

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission had sued on behalf of Samantha Elauf. The agency contended that Elauf wasn't hired at a Tulsa, Oklahoma, store because her hijab violated Abercrombie's dress code.

Suppose the company said that true Islam forbids women from working? Therefore, out of concern for her safety, the safety of the other employees and customers, they showed respect for her religion by not hiring her.

The problem with that argument would be that the law requires employers to make reasonable accomodations for an employee's religious beliefs, rather than the employee's religion. So, if the employee does not believe that Islam forbids women from working, the employer can't impose that belief on the employee, in the name of respecting the employee's religion.

“But who will protect the right of women and girls not to wear the hijab if they so choose?”

Georgia: Muslim stabs sister for refusing to wear hijab

“Moreover, freedom in America is indivisible from the freedom to practice one’s religion. That is why there is a mosque in every state in our union, and over 1,200 mosques within our borders. That’s why the United States government has gone to court to protect the right of women and girls to wear the hijab and to punish those who would deny it.” — Barack Obama, Cairo, June 4, 2009

But who will protect the right of women and girls not to wear the hijab if they so choose? Women and girls such as Aqsa Parvez, whose Muslim father choked her to death with her hijab after she refused to wear it; and Amina Muse Ali, a Christian woman in Somalia whom Muslims murdered because she wasn’t wearing a hijab; and the 40 women who were murdered in Iraq in 2007 for not wearing the hijab; and Alya Al-Safar, whose Muslim cousin threatened to kill her and harm her family because she stopped wearing the hijab in Britain; and Amira Osman Hamid, who faces whipping in Sudan for refusing to wear the hijab; and the Egyptian girl, also named Amira, who committed suicide after being brutalized for her family for refusing to wear the hijab; and the Muslim and non-Muslim teachers at the Islamic College of South Australia who were told that they had to wear the hijab or be fired; and the women in Chechnya whom police shot with paintballs because they weren’t wearing hijab; and the women also in Chechnya who were threatened by men with automatic rifles for not wearing hijab; and the elementary school teachers in Tunisia who were threatened with death for not wearing hijab; and the Syrian schoolgirls who were forbidden to go to school unless they wore hijab; and the women in Gaza whom Hamas has forced to wear hijab; and the women in Iran who protested against the regime by daring to take off their legally-required hijab; and the women in London whom Muslim thugs threatened to murder if they didn’t wear hijab; and the anonymous young Muslim woman who doffed her hijab outside her home and started living a double life in fear of her parents, and all the other women and girls who have been killed or threatened, or who live in fear for daring not to wear the hijab — who will stand for them?

It should be, but it is not. In fact, it is promoted, aided and abetted , covered up , and encouraged by the Government of the United States and its propaganda arm, the media. In particular, the Democrat Party. Why? I believe that it is because the muslims hate God, Jews, Christians, Christians, and women and the Democrats know this. the Democrat Party also rabidly hate these groups of people and will aid and abet the muslims in every way humanly possible to destroy these groups.

If what happened in OK last is not enough to wake the sheep up, nothing will.
