Because there's 10% unemployment?

Just a guess.

Good point, I didn't think of that :)

And tbecause this company is, by far, the largest employer in the area. It's not like there's a lot of choice.

A Muslim woman employed by Disney has agreed to wear a beret over her hijab while at work.

Noor Abdallah, 22, was locked in a face off with Disneyland after her employers objected to her religious head scarf.

She works as a vacation planner at a Disneyland Resort Esplanade ticket booth in Anaheim, California.

She refused to take another job away from the public, the Council on American-Islamic relations said yesterday.

So the park and Abdallah reached a compromise.

Now she wears a blue scarf partialy covered by a beret.

'Walt Disney Parks and Resorts has a long history of accommodating a variety of religious requests from cast members of all faiths - with more than 200 accommodations made over the last three years and this instance was no different,' Disney spokesman Suzi Brown said in a statement.

Brown said the case is separate from that of another Muslim Disney worker who refused to accept a costume headpiece and filed a federal discrimination complaint.

Jarl--why? Obviously Disney saw some benefit in retaining a trained, and presumably competent or better, worker; enough of a benefit to make an acomodation for her. That just makes good business sense.

Why not just put them in the Mickey Mouse or Goofy costumes, (which will cover them completely) and be done with it?

A guy goes in an adult store and asks for an inflatable doll.

The guy behind the counter says, "Male or female?"

The customer says, "Female"

The counter guy asks, "Black or white?"

The customer says, "White"

The counter guy asks, "Christian or Muslim?"

The customer says, "What the hell does religion have to do with it?"

The counter guy says, "Not much, it's just that the Muslim one blows itself up."
