#1 Moderate muslims believe that Quran statements on female covering is valid only during wartime. Also there is open debate in the 4 schools (madhabs) of muslim jurisprudence (fiqh) on the question of the permissive v imperative aspect of the veiling injunction. Ergo: by indulging a particular group, especially one that restricts liberty, puts the authorities in the position of partisans. I would side with employers on that type of prohibition. Reminder: minorities in the muslim tyrannies receive nothing close to reasonable accomodation.

#2 how did she get to the point where her hijab becomes an issue? did she wear one in her interview for the job? did she wear this throughout her training sessions? Did she not understand the disney branding which must have been the focus of her training? Why only now, in public view, does this become an issue?

If she got the job without the mosquito net, she has no recourse.

The whole issue stinks of set-up.

#3 let her work the Aladdin ride. Otherwise kick her and her CAIR backing out on their hijabbed asses. She's an immigrant from Morocco - perhaps she oughtta return

#5 Cool graphic. But I wonder if that pink bow might be unIslamic.

#9 Some things right, some things wrong in the posting.
Disney is a private organization and as such has the right to refuse entry to ANYONE.

Grandpa taught me that when people dress like that, it is either Halloween, or someone intends to rob you.

#10 My question is what is she doing out of the house unaccompanied by her husband or a male relative?

#11 The way I see it is she was offered alternative jobs out of view and that was not good enough for her. Well you work where your employer tells you, if you don't like it you are let go. She doesn't have a leg to stand on but of course Disney is within the 9th Circuit so who knows, they might force everyone to wear Hajibs to make her happy.
