Muslims Sues Boss For Saying No Hijab, Judge Gives Her Nasty Surprise According to new reports, companies in the EU can now officially ban Muslim employees from wearing headscarves to work. The decision was just announced by a senior jurist in a case involving British security firm G4S. The ruling states that a headscarf ban may be justified in order to enforce a legitimate policy of religious and ideological neutrality pursued by the employer. Juliane Kokott, a German advocate general at the EU Court of Justice in Luxembourg gave details in a statement she made last Tuesday. Kokott reports that the ban must be based on a general company rule on religious symbols of any type and must be proportional. Kokott also added that the issue is one that is so delicate that national courts should have a measure of discretion which they may exercise in strict accordance with EU rules. The case was brought forward when G4S fired Samira Achbita, a Muslim receptionist at one of its offices in Belgium, because she refused to come to work without her scarf. She sued for damages in Belgian courts and earned the backing of the Belgian Centre for Equal Opportunities and Combating Racism. However, judges ruled against her on two occasions. Her appeal is currently being heard by Belgiums Court of Cassation. What do you think of these reports?
