I think this depends on how you look at it.

For a lot of companies this won't matter and for others they might require you or want their employees to look a certain way, in order to represent them. And I don't think, when this rule is applied, is really all that due to the hijab, but more in regards to religious dress codes having precedence over a company's image or what to say. To take it to the extremes, like a company wouldn't like having a person with a nazi symbol printed on their forehead sitting and greeting their customers, or a person in burka or whatever.

Personally I have no issue with the hijab, but can equally see how you could make the argument that if the hijab is accepted, then burkas should as well or any other religious clothing that people might want to wear.

Also this often become a question of how little we respect people's religions in the western world etc. But do you honestly think a women working in an Islamic country where women are expected to wear a hijab or burka, that a company would hire or allow a women to represent their company if they didn't wear one?

And in that case do you find that wrong as well?

Isn't it about choice?

Should be

We don't know anything about this picture. It could be an ad created for a country where the hijab is common. Moreover, you know there are actually people out there who claim that there are possibly blond-haired, blue-eyed Nordic Muslims as well.

Headscarf can be used by anyone, it is not just a Muslim thing.

Very few folks I know actually have a problem with the hijab and have way better things to concern themselves with.

One of my students says she is Muslim, but does not wear the hijab. Perhaps it is optional?

You & I both know that in many countries the head covering
& even more extreme measures are imposed upon women
under threat of arrest & beating.
So it's not strange to see it as a sign of oppression.
But here it's a choice.

I would not blame her, in my view woman can chose her own way of life.

And I still not sure hijab means to cover a womans hair. Men has hijab too, but it is a veil of carfulness and deed, not something that should be forced.

Other Muslims will disagree with me on this, and I accept that.

The force and oppression is a wrong action in my view, but yes it does happen

You don't know a lot of Europeans, it seems.

Well, I'm a 20 something and maybe I don't hang around with that kind of crowd? My best friend actually wants to wear a hijab even though she's not a Muslim, she's a Christian. These are the kinds of folks I know

Probably. The notion of outlawing headgear for female Muslims is pretty popular around here, and not just among the usual suspects of the xenophobic Right, although they are obviously tickled pink when this gets brought up.

It's also a rather popular stance among some of the more outspoken Atheists of RF - just ask a couple of them.

We heathens tend to not care if people wear religiously
themed clothing. It's a mind your own business thing.
You're not a fan of atheists, eh.
