“Reasonable jurors could determine that by offering Khan one option—to remove her hijab despite her religious beliefs—Abercrombie acted with malice, reckless indifference or in the face of a perceived risk that its actions violated federal law,” the judge writes..."

    A&F should at least give her a three week paid vacation (pilgrimage) to mecca; and free scarves for life.

    They want it all one way, theirs. Okay, they can have it my way: goodbye. And don't let the door hit you.

    Exactly, it is not OK for a devout Muslim woman to be caught without a head scarf, but it is OK for her to work in a store with naked people posters all over?

    Why would such a devout woman apply to work at a store with a dress code requiring flip-flops or Converse and fairly scanty dress? Only to push her agenda. Will she apply at Hooters next?

    seriously. I want to hear the conversation around the dinner table.
    Umme-Hani, we expressly forbid you to work at Abecrombie and Fitch!
    But mama, it is where all the cool kids hang out!
    Umme-Hani, it goes against our religion! But, we need money for the Allah cause....hmmm...
    Me, an American mom to my daughter-
    You are not working there, it doesn't improve your mind. Ah, you won't see some friends? Farm life is brutal. Here! Use your own sleeve for the snot! start your own business! present a business plan! if it's sound, we'll invest. quit crying! there is no crying in America!

    Not sure why we are told when we travel to respect the beliefs of others (when in rome do as the romans do), but then when someone comes here we have to respect their beliefs and change how we do things. Should not people who move to this country do some things to assimilate themselves into our culture?

    "Gonzalez Rogers was appointed to the federal bench by President Obama in mid-2011. Her husband, Matthew Rogers, has served in various positions in the Obama administration, including the president’s transition team and as a top advisor in the Department of Energy (DOE). In fact, Rogers served as the DOE official overseeing Obama’s scandal-plagued green loan program that’s fleeced American taxpayers out of hundreds of millions of dollars. Remember Solyndra?"
    Nice.
