Holland: Muslim Teacher Barred For NOT Wearing a Headscarf
In a report from Monday's Expatica News, a teacher at a Muslim school has been refused employment at an Islamic school because she refuses to wear a hijab, or headscarf. She has taken the case to tribunal with the equality commission.
The situation is a reversal of the current issue in the Netherlands, where the Dutch Immigration and Integration Minister, Rita Verdonk has recently stated she will impose bans on the wearing of the body-and-face covering burka in public places.
The Muslim teacher in the current debacle is Samira Haddad, a 32-year old from Amsterdam who teaches Arabic. The Islamic school which insists she should wear the hijab is the Islamic College in Amsterdam.
Tunisian-born Haddad argued before the commission that she is not accustomed to wearing a headscarf in public. She said she had not encountered any difficulty when she completed an internship at an Islamic school in Rotterdam.Ms Haddad claims that she has never had any problems going without the scarf when living and working in Islamic countries.
The headmaster of the Islamic College in Amsterdam said the school's rules explicitly stated that the dictates of the Koran and the Sunna must be followed. However, non-Muslim teachers can be allowed to have their heads uncovered.
"If Miss Haddad was to declare she is not a Muslim then she could, in principle, come and work with us," a member of the school board said.
The equality commission will deliver its judgement in eight weeks.
