Workplace jihad: Muslima sues Disney over hijab

Their fault for hiring a muslim. I say let them get sued and I hope they lose millions over it, it’ll hopefully finally set an example: don’t hire muslims.

========================================
You took the words off of my keypad.
There’s ZERO upside in hiring one. If I had a business, I wouldn’t employ any of them.
As Pam as pointed out, when hired by these companies, they DEMAND the right to breaks so they can pray 5 times a day. They don’t get or demand that time at companies in their countries.

Haven’t we had this fight before and the Islamo-fascists lose!

The muslims are “heaven bent” pun intended, with their plethora of virgins, to overtake the entire globe with their backwards view on life. How would muslim men like walking around like a ghost all day? They should wear chastity belts if they cant control themselves! I am soooooo thrilled to see others see this Barac Houssein Obamma stealthy attempt to weasel Islam and the muslim brotherhood into the country! OBAMA MUST GO, OMG!

I laugh when I read asinine Islamaphobes claim, “….they DEMAND the right to breaks so they can pray 5 times a day. They don’t get or demand that time at companies in their countries”.
First & foremost, no one works a 24-hour shift. The first of the 5 prayers is just before sunrise (times vary) and the 5th prayer is almost 10 pm. At most, any employee would only have to arrange to take a break 2 – 3 times (for periods of 5 – 10 minutes) during later shifts; once during earlier shifts. For example, I prayer fajr this morning, came to work,I’ll pray again ~1:15 and my 3’rd prayer (asr'” just after 5). And since I’m fasting for Ramadan, I’m not taking lunch breaks, so me stepping away for prayer is a benefit to my employer!
Secondly, in regards to Muslim “get or demand that time at companies in their countries”, you’re wrong….AGAIN!!  In Islamic countries, all businesses shut down when the athan is called (the call to prayer). They don’t have to ask. In fact, their supervisors would be locking them in the shops as their beatin’ feet to head out to the mosque, themselves!
But thanks for showing that the ignorance of the Islamaphobes is still prevalent.

“SINple” EXCELLENT!!!

“The Constitution tells me I can be Muslim, and I can wear the head scarf. Who is Disney to tell me I cannot?”
The Constitution might say you can wear a bikini, but that doesn’t mean you have the right to wear it at Disneyland does it?

that bitch should be sent back to the desert where she will go back to milking f’n goats and delivering a new terrorist every single year !
I am sick of this sh.. !!!

its our fault, not guiding the court system into a direction that dissuades this sort of legal manauver. How do we change the system so that frivolous lawsuits are not part of the courts purveyence? I ask anyone??

Again, don’t immigrate if you are not willing to assimilate.

One more reason why employers should NEVER hire muzzies for any reason. I won’t work with them, hire them, go their stores or restaurants, or spend ANY money that would benefit them. And I make that a point, no matter where I am.

OK … so is this the new plan? Get a visa to the USA … work for awhile … apply for citizenship … then “suddenly” decide that you might be able to get some big bucks if you sue for discrimination. Anyone want to take up a collection for a one-way ticket to Morocco? People who are looking for a better life and are willing to work for it should be welcome … people who want to change our culture or who come for freebies should be booted out. Haven’t checked Morocco yet but Saudi Arabia won’t let women drive … and won’t allow visitors to bring the Bible or other religious books with them. So, to you folks from other countries … if you don’t like it here, please leave but don’t expect us to change our ways for yours.

The odd thing about the the head dress is Mohammad never said a woman needs to cover her head, face or hair. He said all women should dress in a modest way. So how is a head covering a religious belief? St. Paul said the same thing as Mohammad about the way a woman should dress ( only he said it about 600 years earlier). Does this mean any Christian woman who wants to some sort of head covering in the work place be legally allowed? Perhaps this needs to be tested out. Christian woman should sue for the right to wear a hat (even baseball cap) to work and or school so that most of their hair is covered and claim its a religious belief based on the Bible.

“Boudlal had worked at the resort for two and a half years, but only realized she could wear her hijab to work after studying for her U.S. citizenship exam.”
In other words, she didn’t really consider the hijab a necessary part of her religious beliefs — until, most likely, someone encouraged her to be a sharia attack-dog against a private company.

Where exactly in the Constitution does it say “Thou may wear headscarfs”? We have freedom to worship the religion of choice, not freedom to implement a new ideology or overstep the Constitution with a new law…..Sharia Law! Until people and government realize that Islam is not a religion, but a way of life, a system of laws….an ideology and that it cannot live in harmony with our Constitution, this insanity will never end!

If you are a parent and not deathly afraid of Obama’s plans for our country and how it may affect your children you are a victim of his already. This woman needs to return to the middle east where she can dress as she chooses if she can find a company that hires women.

Disney was stupid. There are lots of traditional folk costumes where the woman’s hat does cover everything that a hijab covers. E. g. a puritan hat.

The mandate that women cover their hair relies on misinterpretations of Koranic verses.

In Arabic dictionaries, hijab refers to a “barrier,” not necessarily between men and women, but also between two men. Hijab appears in a Koranic verse (33:53), during the fifth year of the prophet Muhammad’s migration, or hijra, to Medina, when some wedding guests overstayed their welcome at the prophet’s home. It established some rules of etiquette for speaking to the wives of prophet Muhammad: “And when ye ask of them anything, ask it of them from behind a hijab. This is purer for your hearts and for their hearts.” Thus, hijab meant a partition.

The word hijab, or a derivative, appears only eight times in the Koran as an “obstacle” or “wall of separation” (7:46), a “curtain” (33:53), “hidden” (38:32), just a “wall of separation” (41:5, 42:52, 17:45), “hiding” (19:14) and “prevented” or “denied access to God” (83:15).

In the Koran, the word hijab never connotes any act of piety. Rather, it carries the negative connotation of being an actual or metaphorical obstacle separating the “non-believers” in a dark place, noting “our hearts are under hijab (41:5),” for example, a wall of separation between those in heaven and those in hell (7:46) or “Surely, they will be mahjaboon from seeing their Lord that day (83:15).” Mahjaboon is a derivate verb from hijab. The Saudi Koran translates it as “veiled.” Actually, in this usage, it means, “denied access.”

The most cited verse to defend the headscarf (33:59) states, “Oh, Prophet tell thy wives and thy daughters and the believer women to draw their jilbab close around them; this will be better so that they be recognized and not harmed and God is the most forgiving, most merciful.” According to Arabic dictionaries, jilbab means “long, overflowing gown” which was the traditional dress at the time. The verse does not instruct them to add a new garment but rather adjust an existing one. It also does not mean headscarf.

Disturbingly, the government of Saudi Arabia twists its translation of the verse to impose face veils on women, allowing them even to see with just “one eye.” The government’s translation reads: “O Prophet! Tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks (veils) all over their bodies (i.e. screen themselves completely except the eyes or one eye to see the way). That will be better, that they should be known (as free respectable women) so as not to be annoyed, and God is most forgiving, most merciful.”

Looked at in context, Islamic historians say this verse was revealed in the city of Medina, where the prophet Muhammad fled to escape persecution in Mecca, and was revealed to protect women from rampant sexual aggression they faced on the streets of Medina, where men often sexually harassed women, particularly slaves. Today, we have criminal codes that make such crimes illegal; countries that don’t have such laws need to pass them, rather than punishing women for the violent acts of others.

Another verse (24:31) is also widely used to justify a headscarf, stating, “… and tell the believing women to lower their gaze and guard their chastity, and do not reveal their adornment except what is already shown; and draw their khemar over their neck. . . .”

In old Arabic poetry, the khemar was a fancy silk scarf worn by affluent women. It was fixed on the middle of the head and thrown over their back, as a means of seducing men and flaunting their wealth. This verse was revealed at a time, too, when women faced harassment when they used open-air toilets. The verse also instructs how to wear an existing traditional garment. It doesn’t impose a new one.

Reclaiming their Islamic religion

In 1919, Egyptian women marched on the streets demanding the right to vote; they took off their veils, imported as a cultural tradition from the Ottoman Empire, not a religious edict. The veil then became a relic of the past.

Later, Egyptian President Gamal Abdel-Nasser said in a speech in the early 1960s that, when he sought reconciliation with members of the Muslim Brotherhood group for attempting to assassinate him in 1954, the Supreme Leader of the Brotherhood gave him a list of demands, including, “imposing hijab on Egyptian women.” The audience members didn’t understand what the word hijab meant. When Nasser explained that the Brotherhood wanted Egyptian women to wear a headscarf, the audience members burst out laughing.

As Americans, we believe in freedom of religion. But we need to clarify to those in universities, the media and discussion forums that in exploring the “hijab,” they are not exploring Islam, but rather the ideology of political Islam as practiced by the mullahs, or clerics, of Iran and Saudi Arabia, the Taliban in Afghanistan and the Islamic State.

In the name of “interfaith,” these well-intentioned Americans are getting duped by the agenda of Muslims who argue that a woman’s honor lies in her “chastity” and unwittingly pushing a platform to put a hijab on every woman.

Please do this instead: Do not wear a headscarf in “solidarity” with the ideology that most silences you, equating your bodies with “honor.” Stand up with instead with moral courage against the ideology of Islamism that demands you cover your hair.
