Why this expectation of religious freedom only from Western countries ?

Welcome to racism. it is automatically assumed by our dear non Muslim friend that I as a muslim don’t hold the same standard for non western countries.

Thank you for doing this.

What was the role of job? Corporate role or in store position

First of all, the US constitution is primarily to stop the US govt from discriminating against its citizens.

The best bet is to just sue the company in court. ACLU would gladly help her. It isn’t like australia banning mosques or switzerland banning minarets.

Looks like I touched a raw nerve. Good to know that you think minorities in Muslim countries also have the right to religious freedom.

And stop calling it racism. Religious groups are not a “race”.

I hate ignorance in general and when people make assumptions based on religion they are just being racists.

And good to know you don’t consider anti-Semitic activities to be racist

Racial antisemitism is prejudice against Jews as a racial/ethnic group, rather than Judaism as a religion. Muslims are not a race. Its not the same thing.

This is a debate that just attaching a link from Wikipedia will not settle -

Race or Religion? Jewish Genes Identified - The New Observer

Ostrer’s work “shows that geographically and culturally distant Jews still have more genes in common than they do with non-Jews around them, and that those genes can be traced back to the Levant, an area including modern-day Israel.

And if you go back to basic bio you will find based on our mitochondria DNA Eva was a Black African woman from somewhere in the Congo.

YAY! There is no racism :rolleyes:

Re: Abercrombie & Fitch Refused To Hire Muslim Woman

Hmm. I don’t much care to shop there, but I wonder how exactly does wearing a hijab interfere with the store’s image? A hijab sporting employee would most likely be wearing the shirts sold by the store…as do the other employees. It’s not a store that exclusively sells head-wear that they should be bothered by having a hijabi employee. She would have to greet customers and fold/organize clothes and man the register…basically the same duties as other employees…so how exactly does her “hee-jab” prevent those duties?

What is next? Will Abercrummy and Witch prevent obviously Muslim-looking customers from entering their stores? So it’s okay for Abercorny to collect profit from Muslim customers, but they can’t have any Muslim employees. Does Aberzombie have any branches in Muslim countries like Dubai etc? If so, does the managerial headquarter allow for hijab-wearing employees in those countries? If so, I wonder if there’s a consistency in the rules.

@Shamraz_Khan

^^^ Are you serious? Have you ever passed by their stores in malls? Only people work at AB&F are gay dudes with chiseled bodies. Where would a woman with headcover fit in?

trust me - in the midwest and the south, its fat dudes and dudettes that look like pillsbury doughboys.

tragic, i know..

Re: Abercrombie & Fitch Refused To Hire Muslim Woman

To the honorable posters who queried about Abercombie and Fitch dress code in the Middle east. I just got off the phone speaking to their spokesperson located in the Bahamas. Here is what she said:

Our dress code varies with the geographical location and is respectful of the local culture and custom. Here in the Bahamas, the ladies wear a two piece. In India, the gents wear tangled dhotis. And in the middle east, we are covered top to bottom. In the US, covering one of the two is optional.

You must not have been to their store. They are BIG on image. For the longest time, they had topless dudes at the front door as greeters. I don’t see that anymore but I can still tell that image is of importance to them. A store that sells Abayas will not hire someone who only likes wearing revealing clothes. I think a private company reserves the right to reject a candidate based on its dress code policy. Rejecting a candidate based on dress code is not up there with rejecting someone based on race, religion, ethnicity, or disability. Why does she even want to work there? Like WTF?

Re: Abercrombie & Fitch Refused To Hire Muslim Woman

^Oh but I have been there and I’ve never encountered topless greeters. I’ve seen pics of topless models in their advertising, but not actually in the store.

Re: Abercrombie & Fitch Refused To Hire Muslim Woman

There was a lot more going on than just topless (male) models in some of their past ads 10-odd years ago

Re: Abercrombie & Fitch Refused To Hire Muslim Woman

^The closet Abercrombie store for me is about 45 minutes away. A long, long time ago I had been inside the very dimly lit interior of the store. There was quite a rush, but I don’t recall see any topless employees. Haven’t thought about the store in ages as I don’t shop there. But I googled it a while ago and yes, you are right, some of the pictures are rather bold. I don’t wear hijab, but the advertising alone makes me uncomfortable. So, I’d assume that a hijaban would be more conservative than me and thus feel even more uneasy in being associated with the store… though…I doubt she’d be doing anything different from the duties in other stores like Amer Eagle/Aeropostale/Forever 21.

Re: Abercrombie & Fitch Refused To Hire Muslim Woman

We had topless girls (no front ) in jeans ads that I saw. I didn’t even notice them that much but for the old ladies coming and complaining to me about it. I guess some people just need to vent
