Why? Because it was a kosher store.
In order for the food to remain kosher it could not be handled/prepared (depending on how jewish the person was) by a gentile. Muslims are Gentiles.
Not saying she could work at the store as there would be many 'unclean tasks' (janitorial) that the kosher jews could not do. However her tasks would probably mean she would work when no one else was there, as to not taint the kosher food.
Actually, handling by non-Jews doesn't make the food treyf, except in some ultra-orthodox communities. What counts a kosher is food that is 1) not taboo and 2) prepared by Jews.
The woman in question could easily work alongside Jews in numerous capacities, as long as she didn't prepare the food.
