Community says they are grateful for Court upholding American values
The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community USA applauds the United States Supreme Court for ruling in favor of Samantha Elauf in her religious discrimination suit against retailer Abercrombie & Fitch. In 2008, Abercrombie & Fitch denied Elauf employment because she wears hijab, or the Islamic head covering.
"This ruling aligns with American values of freedom of religion and practice,” said Dr. Nasim Rehmatullah, Senior Vice President of Ahmadiyya Muslim Community USA, “It is critical to the success of our diverse nation that companies learn from this and adapt their policies to work in the 21st century.”
