Muslim employee sues Disneyland

All the things you guys are saying is covered by the law already. Her wearing a Hijab does not give Disney undo hardship. The precedents are already established. There are two arguable points here: 1. can Disney say that everything Disney is a stage and everyone even the ticket collectors are actors? 2. When they offered her a "backstage" position does that constitute lateral reasonable accommodations?
Not only are you wrong, and never lived in an Arab country that has a majority of Muslims but you are very mistaken to what is LAW and what is CULTURAL PRACTICE.
The reason PEOPLE COME TO THE UNITED STATES, and have come since the beginning of this country is because there is suppose to be a separation of religion and state. Other countries make up their own VERSION of Islamic law (none of them have it correct according to Qu'ranic verses and hadiths). This makes people not trust in the countries rulers or laws no matter what their religion is because they know there is something flawed with it.
Islamically, anyone who is not Muslim shouldn't do any of the Islamic traditions except learn about the religion for their own use. I live in the United States because I know Saudi Arabia has fucked up ass people that are in charge, and to force a woman to wear a head covering has nothing to do with religion and everything to do with power. For a woman who wears a hijab to not want to wear a scarf and think its dumb, is the same sin as to a girl that does not wear a scarf at all. For a woman to want to wear a scarf and wear it, means that she will reap the rewards.
Anyways, I'm not Muslim, but I know there are good people of every faith, and every race, and they shouldn't be discriminated when they think they are doing what is right for themselves and mostly for God.
Btw your comparison with any other person who truly believes that they will be PUNISHED in tortuous hellfire if they don't do a certain thing to themselves is completely void to this topic. I would back them up as well. I'm not an intolerant person with ignorant justifications for my life.

Yeah you need to get your priorities straight. look at this bullshit, she wants to wear a headscarf and it makes national news. I've worked in establishments that do not allow their employees to wear hats, at least 4 Somali females wore those head scarfs and no one cared. The male employees who couldn't wear hats didn't complain and neither did the customers. It's a fucking joke. Over there it becomes a fucking news story and a national debate, come on people get your fucking priorities straight.
People are saying shit like their religion says they should smoke weed, well that would be a big deal because it will affect your work performance. It's not the same fucking thing.
If Disney doesn't want to let her wear the scarf so fucking be it. She should quit her fucking job, and work some place where they realize it's not that big of a fucking deal. Because suing a company over that type of shit is fucking retarded, and if she's going to do that then she also needs to get her priorieties straight.

ANAHEIM -- A Muslim woman who is fighting for the right to wear her religious scarf to her hostess job at Disneyland has been taken off the schedule.
Disney officials say they stopped putting Imane Boudlal on the schedule during the ongoing issue.
The hotel workers' union claims that Boudlal, a restaurant hostess at Disney's Grand Californian Hotel, was suspended without pay.
On Tuesday, Boudlal rejected a third, alternative head covering that Disney provided and she was sent home for the eighth time.
Disney previously offered Boudlal four other assignments that would allow her to wear her own head scarf, called a hijab, which some Muslim women wear as a form of modesty.
Disney is known for its strict dress code, called the Disney Look.

Religion is very real and can be easily proven to be as such. Religion is not inclusive to deity's, which is what you are doing.
Discrimination lines between the first amendment and corporaitons can be blurred sometimes.
Because it is her right as an American citizen, which she is of legal status.
Why are so many people siding with a big corporation like Disney? Isn't rap music the anti-establishment voice? you would think rap fans would be REJOICING that this broad is trying to fuck over a "big, bad empire".

it's also my right as an American citizen to talk on my cell phone, but if my job says I can't talk on my phone at work... then they have the right to tell me not to
it's my right as an american citizen to wear shorts... but if my job says I can't wear shorts to work, then they have the right to tell me not to
it's my right as an american citizen to have my nose pierced... you get the point by now???
when we're on the clock employers are allowed to tell us what to do. period... sure we have the right as a citizen to not listen to them, but they can fire us, suspend us, send us home, etc... that's how jobs work
that lady can wear her hijab to the movies, to dinner, to a party, to the store... I don't give a fuck... but not to work
I'd rather form my own opinion than think... "what would a rapper do here...?"
and I don't view Disney as a "big bad corporation"
I view Disney as a big corporation that has rules for employees, she didn't wanna follow the rules... if they let her get away with it they'll have to let everyone get away with it... which is gonna cause more problems down the road
you mentioned the line is "blurred" and that's the problem... make the line CLEAR... say "this is the way we do it here, you don't like it? don't work here"
props to Disney for not giving in

You completely missed the point of what I said. In fact, i never said anything about any specific rapper doing anything.
Homie, ALL corporations are bad. THAT is the point.
You're right..."god" forbid people find a way to be individuals and adhere to the Constitutional Rights that every American has a right to. THIS is why ALL corporations are bad.
LOL...so then what exactly are you arguing if you AGREE with that statement? If that is indeed the case, WHY side with Disney and not the individual?
Fuck Disney for being Disney.
