Judge rules Abercrombie & Fitch wrongly fired Muslim employee over hijab

Abercrombie claimed her headscarf violated the company's "Look Policy."



You know I am happy anytime Abercrombie & Fitch gets kicked in the balls. And this is a good one. This week, a judge ruled that the company violated federal law when it fired a Muslim worker who refused to take off her hijab: Muslim clerk wins hijab fight against Abercrombie and Fitch.

Hani Khan, an employee the Hollister store in San Mateo, California, was fired in February 2010 for not removing her religious headscarf for work. Abercrombie claimed the hijab violated the company's "Look Policy," whatever the hell that means. Khan filed a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, which sued Abercrombie & Fitch on her behalf in 2011.
