Muslim employee sues Disney for right to wear headscarf

Re: Muslim employee sues Disney for right to wear headscarf

and you thought that the ACLU endearing liberals were a nuisance, just wait till these muzzies pick up some steam!

 

[Bloodshot Scott]

Your annotation to the article was crude, ignorant, and wholly incorrect anyway. And who the hell mentioned anything about Saudi Arabia in the first place? Mind you:

"Imane Boudlal, 26, a Morocco-born U.S. citizen"

I am ALL for whatever the hell someone wants to wear, but I guess she should have inquired about Disney's dress policy or 'costume', as they put it, before she got the job.

This article is about a woman who wanted to retain her tradition/modesty/religion/what-have-you at the workplace. It has nothing to do with Saudi Arabians stoning your sister.

I don't get into it with OCSM'm because I just don't, but I will say this:

The moral (or analogy) I was making is that America is the one that is bending over - at the expense of what makes America, ya know, things that are American like Disney - but many many other countries do not. Simple enough. BTW, can women in Morocco wear risque swiming suits like my sister and other American girls do? I wonder. I think I am making a relevant point but you can decide.

Oh Kimora, denial isn't just a river in africa you know.
I do somewhat agree with your point, but when you say its about a woman wanting to retain her tradition/modesty/religion/what-have-you at the workplace. i gotta say wake up little snoozy.
its about getting rich quick, wanted something for nothing and living the good life with that money.

If she really just wanted what you said, she would just quit.

I once knew a girl who insisted on wearing a hajib at a local amusement park. They told her to stop wearing it and she got a lawyer. The fucking amusement park caved, didn't want the legal bills or negative attention, so she kept her job and got to wear the hajib.

The story was done and it seemed that the floodgates were opened and everybody now had grounds to do whatever they want. But a few weeks after the amusement park's caving, this girl got her hajib caught in the bucket of a ferris wheel and died 360 degrees later. Her family tried to sue, but the amusement park lawyered out and the case was thrown out.

Actually, none of that really happened happened, but it's fun to pretend.

Welcome to America.

thank you, now can you tell me why everyones so fat?

imagine if you will.
a cook at a restuarant is muslim.
he has one of those enormous beards down to his sunken chest.
he has a beard like that due to his religious beliefs.

he is told he must lose the beard or lose the job.
does he have a religious discrimination lawsuit?

I believe in most places that if somebody has a religious issue that will conflict with their jobs they have to tell their employer about it before they are hired in. I think employers have to give people time off for their own religious holidays and other things like that under the law, and this might be one of them, but again you can't just spontaneously tell your employer that after they hire you.

 

[Legzman]

its a dress code enforced for every single employee. Your nothing special. Get over your fuckin self!

 

[titsrock]

There's probably a clever "what if" scenario involving the Klan and a sheet that I could throw down here, but instead of figuring it out...I'm gonna go wank to some porn.

Bingo. They aren't allowed to keep you from practicing your religion, including wearing silly clothing. Would it be OK for them to tell a Jew that they couldn't wear a yarmulke?

Of course it's stupid, but that's the government for you- apparently they thought that we should respect religion. Go figure.

I'm all for changing the constitution and shitting on the wishes of the founding fathers, but until that day we are going to have to put up with these goddamn dirty mooslims.

 

[Johan]

Isn't it written in the contract that working at Disney means accepting Disney's dress code ?

Muslims don't want to be American, they want to CHANGE America.

Not exactly : muslims want to live in the US (and in Europe) the way they live in muslims countries, with more money.

 

[Uppercut]

Finally we can agree on something. It's like I said, if my sister goes to Saudi Arabia, she gets stoned if she doesn't abide by their dress code. Americans have lost the backbone.
We should continue to change for outsiders? This is totally nonsense.

Yes, by all means, let us set our own tolerance level so that it is the same as that of Saudi Arabia. That would certainly make us all proud to be Americans!

 

[Crazy4theBrat]

Just wait. It won't be long until some camel jockey brings up a suit because Mickey Mouse, Goofy, and Donald Duck aren't all wearing diapers on their heads.

Mark my words. We have to draw a line in the sand on these people or they will push it until everyone in America gives up taking showers and starts kneeling down and praying to allah every day.

bullshit.
smug bullshit.

in the usa and most of europe they tolerate tolerate tolerate, accept, appease, literally bend over backwards to accommodate foreigners, especially middle easterners that they allowed to come live in their country.

but when someone says ok thats enough, some people just gotta say something like you just did.

 

[~~whimsy~~]

These Muslim stories are almost as ridiculous as a Jerry Springer topic.

Pretty much. We tolerate a great deal, I'd say. It's gone pretty far when in my dads work they have a seperate "prayer room" for muzzies (not one for Christians, of course) and foot bathing stations at colleges in my state. And let's not forget which nation is the most diverse on the planet. Disney need not change a damn thing for some trash ass "headscarf."

These Muslim stories are almost as ridiculous as a Jerry Springer topic.

Pretty much if you think about it. Just bizarre and uncalled for. She was so not well spoken on CNN and it almost looked like she kept glancing over at a teleprompter or something.

you are a slippery slope fan aren't you? as to disney they've got their tentacles into everything why not let some muslim tentacles get into them

Yeah because that's what they're trying to do, push it onto everyone in America. You take the stupid acts of individuals and generalize an entire group of people with them. Do ignorant "pure american" people not sue for outrageous reasons nowadays? Or is that just something the "camel jockeys" do? It's not like Muslims aren't getting enough crap for events that took place almost a decade ago because of people who weren't even related or connected to them decided to take their same religion way too far. Trust me, it happens in every religion, and if you don't believe me try picking up a history book. Now these people try to go on with their lives, but no, people like you have to come in with your bigotry and hate mongering, and try to put them down for trying to go on with their life. Sure there's going to be people who try to pull some crap, such as the employee suing Disney, but that shit happens with EVERYONE, NOT JUST MUSLIMS.

It's because of people like you America is going down the shitter, and it's about time people drew a line in the sand for individuals like you. You'll get what's coming to you, I promise you that.

Now please, post a comment stating how wrong and stupid I am, or how you don't care because it's supposedly your country, and you're sick of these foreigners trying to "take over". Or just toss in some more insults to those who can't defend themselves. Maybe it's about time you grew up. But hey, it's your life man.

If Disney had simply said "no", I'd have more sympathy for that (consistent) position. But after re-reading the article and seeing this, it seems that Disney stepped on its own policy:

According to the Associated Press, Imane Boudlal, 26, a Morocco-born U.S. citizen, was fitted earlier this summer for a Disney-supplied headscarf but wasn't given a date for completion of the garment and was told she couldn't wear her own hijab in the interim.

How long does it take to make a hijab?

My dad and I just had this conversation last night. The United States is ALWAYS viewed as being the most INtolerable country in the world. But, the reality is that the United States is the most tolerable country in the entire world. Yet, the minute that one isolated incident like this occurs, our country catches shit from crybabies all around the globe - even people from our own country, SIGH.

We have freedom of religion in this country. That means that you, as a United States citizen, are free to practice the religion of your choosing. We don't force you to worship a specific god, nor do we deny you citizenship if you choose to follow your own religious path. It doesn't mean that you are allowed to do whatever the fuck you want to as long as you can somehow loosely tie it to your so-called religious beliefs...especially when you're at work!!!

For the most part, companies and businesses have dress codes. For instance, McDonald's employees are told to wear a specific uniform. If they don't wear that uniform, they can get fired. Why? Because, they're not doing what they were told to do. And, when you're at work (as long as it's not self endangering or illegal), you have to do what you're told. And, if you have a problem with complying with the tasks and requests you are told to do at work, then find another job.

It's a DRESS CODE for fuck's sake. It's not like Disney is banishing this lady from practicing her religion - not even close. They're just telling her that she has to abide by their corporate dress code (a dress code, mind you, that she legally entered into an agreement to wear when she signed her contract). I mean, if I was hired by Disney and then went out and got a huge tattoo of a bleeding dick fucking a burning swastika on my face, I'd get fired. Not because they necessarily had anything against me, as a person...but because I didn't comply with their dress code.

Yes, it's that simple, people. This isn't about religion. This isn't about freedom. This isn't about racism or hatred. It's about a simple dress code and a stubborn woman who can't get it into her head that the world doesn't revolve around her.

I believe in most places that if somebody has a religious issue that will conflict with their jobs they have to tell their employer about it before they are hired in. I think employers have to give people time off for their own religious holidays and other things like that under the law, and this might be one of them, but again you can't just spontaneously tell your employer that after they hire you.

I couldn't have said it better myself.
