RE: Here's A Dilemma

I think the problem I have is the ridiculous notion of "religious symbols" (aside from the need to display them at work). What makes a symbol more or less appropriate because it is deemed religious? I personally despise what the Christian and Muslim symbols represent as much as I despise "Nazi symbols." Do I get to wear a swastika to work because it's part of my religious tradition, despite the offensive associations that would probably be made with it?

As far as the headscarf and its connection to Islam, I fully agree with you Dystopia, but the plaintiff and her supporters are clearly making it an Islamic issue. If I decide that I want to REALLY mimic Jesus because that's what my "faith" commands, am I allowed to throw a stink when my work sends me home for coming in wearing sandals and a garment?

My argument if I was Abercrombie and Fitch would be that part of their success is the image they portray (which in my opinion is trashy), and that the headscarf is opposite to the "sexy" modern look they're attempting to sell.
