Modesty Blaze, Pt. 2

The dark night of Islamophobia has descended upon the Bay Area, as Muslim women find themselves victimized at the workplace, unable to pursue their chosen profession because their employer will not allow them to wear headscarves. The name of this Amerikkkan employer? Abercrombie & Fitch?!

A federal civil rights agency sued Abercrombie & Fitch on Wednesday on behalf of an 18-year-old woman who said she applied for her first job at the company's store at the Great Mall in Milpitas and was turned down because she wore a Muslim head scarf.

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission went to court against Abercrombie & Fitch last year over a similar incident in Tulsa, Okla. In Wednesday's suit, filed in U.S. District Court in San Francisco, the agency again accused the Ohio company of discriminating on the basis of religion.

"This retailer that targets a youth market is sending the message that you cannot aspire to their 'All American' brand if you wear a head covering to comply with your faith," said William Tamayo, the agency's regional attorney.

You may recall a similar complaint made by a San Mateo woman last February. It's an odd trend to say the least. These girls are modest and devout enough to insist on wearing a headscarf, yet they insist on enforcing their right to get a job at Abercrombie & Fitch, a retailer that is ... not known for its modesty or sympathy for the religiously devout. Just wait, after we have gay marriage, the new "civil right" propagated by the Left will be sharia-compliance.
