hijab: covering modesty thus obligatory
sikh turban part of sikh religion and oblgatory

skullcap may be part of Judaism but in no way it is Sunnah for Muslims as such it's removal does not equate to removig his hijab or woman's head scarf or a sikh's turban.

All this sorry affair has done is to re-inforce fear of and predujice against any future applicant with a Muslim name!
:sl:
I didn't say it was compulsory. People should have the right to do non-compulsory things too.

And I don't know how it inforces fear and prejudice against Muslims. If anything it shows that people are becoming more tollerant...
:w:
 
I'm Glad he got his job back.
What a silly thing to sack him for. He should be able to wear whatever he wants.
 
:sl:

I honestly don't see why he should be allowed to wear it... if the company has a no hats policy (for whatever unfathomable reason) then that should apply for religious hats of a non-obligatory nature...
 
Well sure, modesty is fine. I personally wouldnt want to get on a bus driven by a big hairy guy wearing just his underpants and some shades.
 
Mash'Allah that there are brothers out there that give such importance to Sunnah. he chose it over his job even though he didn't have to... gotta respect that.

Agreed. Making a mountain hill out of a mole as it seems, although im sure the Brother who is the victim in this case is made to seem unreasonable for not compromising even though no harm is done by wearing it. Of course what it does is encourage Sunnah.

how does an innovation and stubborn-ness encourage Sunnah?

what next? a driver who happens to be a dervish and demands that he be allowed to stop his bus at intervals so that he can do some headbanging and a twist or 2

or some druid demanding that he should be allowed to wear a dead goat on his head because that is his religion?

or sikh drivers should demand that they should carry swords and kirpans because in india it is part of their dress code?

^ @ Bro NONAME he didnt mean it like that...calm down...

All he is doing is giving importance to the sunnah, but i sort of agree, it isnt compulsary so he could've made negotations as not to wear it.

Erm they do carry Kirpans. Buses, Gurdwaras, everywhere in the UK/Canada/USA Etc.

BTW It's not a ''dresscode in india'' It's compulsory as stated by Sikhism!
