A
medical clinic in Dallas, Texas has sparked controversy after saying a
Muslim doctor applying for a job cannot wear her headscarf if hired.<\/p>\n

Dr. Hena Zaki of Plano, Texas said Friday that she was shocked to
find a no-hat policy at the CareNow clinic extended to her hijab.<\/p>\n

“He interrupted the interview and said he didn’t want me ‘to take this the wrong way,'” Zaki said. “Like an FYI.”<\/p>\n

The 29-year-old doctor has called for an apology and a change in CareNow’s policy.<\/p>\n

The Council on American-Islamic Relations has criticized the no-hijab policy, calling it “a blatant violation” of federal law.<\/p>\n

“It’s obvious it’s a blatant violation,” said the council’s civil
rights manager, Khadija Athman. “It’s a very straightforward case of
religious accommodation. I cannot see any undue hardship on the part of
the employer to accommodate to wear a head scarf.”<\/p>\n

CareNow Chairman Tim Miller, however, has refused to apologize,
saying in a statement that there is nothing wrong with the policy,
which, according to him, ‘does not discriminate on the basis of race,
sex, religion, or national origin’.<\/p>\n
