ANAHEIM, Calif. – A Muslim woman who works as a hostess at a Disneyland restaurant alleged Wednesday the theme park would not allow her to appear in front of customers while wearing her head scarf.
Imane Boudlal, 26, appeared outside the resort's Grand Californian Hotel after filing a complaint with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
She said when she wore the hijab to work Sunday, her supervisors told her to remove it, work where customers couldn't see her, or go home.
Boudlal, who wore the scarf in observance of Ramadan, chose to go home but reported to work for the next two days and was told the same thing.
"Miss Boudlal has effectively understood that they're not interested in accommodating her request either in timing or good faith," said Ameena Qazi, an attorney from the Council on American-Islamic Relations who is consulting with Boudlal...

“it had to be designed by Disneyland’s costume department to comply with the Disney look, Qazi said.”
Maybe a “Three Little Pigs” motif would work.
Yep. Too bad Porky is over at Six Flags.
Do muslims who play Disney characters demand to be able to wear a hijab? Imagine Minnie Mouse in a burqa... or Daisy Duck in a chador... yikes!
lol
When she applied for the job did she wear her scarf? Or a full burka? If she wore only a scarf then she was deliberately provoking sexual thoughts in males, so she is a whore and deserves the usual Islamic treatment for such women. And then a stoning for her disgraceful behavior! (/Taliban)
How dare you refer to them as sixth century savages! Have you no shame, you bigot!
We all know that they are SEVENTH century savages. So, there!
Then don’t work there!!!!!!
how hard is that?
You dont have a
RIGHT to work at disney
I've been to Disneyland many times and was going to make just that point.
Can't have every employee making up his own theme. That would be total chaos.
The military equivalent is Out of Uniform!
This is only the beginning. They will take every opportunity to get power over business and communities little by little. If not by just intimidation then by suit.
Can you imagine the number of law suits that the Ground Zero Mosque will be filing, to get everyone to accomadate their presence. No walking on the sidewalk by the Mosque if you are not a Muslim. No talking or singing near the Mosque. No traffic on the street during certain hours. Who knows? Anything to stick it in your eye.
“We all know that they are SEVENTH century savages. So, there!”
...Point taken ;-)
Dress code. Deal with it dip.
There are plenty of Muslim countries she go live in where she can wear her scarf.
She needs to work elsewhere (like on a different continent.)
Goofy would be more fitting.
Burqa? Imagine this!
ISLAMERICA’s Statute of Sharia
The lawsuit will start soon. Some “social justice” lawyer who thinks that dark skinned people are downtrodden, oppressed, etc will contact her and the suit will begin.
As a former Disneyland employee (I met my husband there!), the selfish, self-centered attitude this woman has makes me nuts. She knew there was a strict dress code — for *every* Disney employee — when she applied.
GOOD! Walt would have approved....
