A European court's ruling about religious clothing could have unfortunate results.



Should an employer be allowed to ban an employee from wearing a hijab?



A European court recently issued a controversial ruling that effectively says employers can legally ban their employees from wearing religious symbols at work.
And while the European Court of Justice (ECJ) ruling doesn't single out any one religion, the cases in question involved Samira Achbita, a Muslim woman who was fired from her job as a receptionist for wearing a hijab to work, and Asma Bougnaoui, a design engineer at an IT consultancy firm fired after a customer complained about her headscarf.
