On visible religious symbols I can agree, specially if the business is secular/non-religious. This brings an interesting question - How much is the hijab a symbol of Islam? Do all women wearing it identify as Muslim? I don't know about you guys, but when I see a woman wearing a headscarf I don't assume she's Muslim (lately I've seen plenty - Syrian refugees, they're pretty peaceful, no terrorism) - After all, it is a piece of clothing.

I can see arguments from both sides and I've participated in debates with similar cases to this. Usually I end up deciding in favour of the worker for several reasons, usually because the law allows people to practice religion in the workplace within boundaries. If she wanted to pray during the work time I could see the problem, but if it's the headscarf I personally don't see reasons to not hire her - She probably already has a hard time getting jobs.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
