Don't mind them. Muslims feels they are free to do as they wish in Christian or other religion's dominated countries, but others must abide by islamic laws in Muslim dominated countries or states. Imagine, I can't eat pork and drink Heineken in my own private space in zamfara, but they demand to wear hijab in Christian dominated countries or inside a private business belonging to a Christian.

A muslim does not have to bear an Islamic name to worship Allah.

Colonialism has ended but some people continue to submit themselves, voluntarily, to colonization.

Afolake Ogunbambi
Ashake Ifadare
Ifayemi Awolowo

There is nothing in the Quran that says these names cannot worship Allah.

I just wrote a piece in culture section on this same issue.

Abubakar, Abdullahi, these names were given by idol worshippers before Arab accepted Islam. They continue to be given to Muslim children.

After accepting Islam, why didnt Arab stop bearing names that originated from worship of deities?

Interesting

Bro you shouldn’t discuss what you don’t know. Most Nigerians are ignorant and they always think every country will be archaic as theirs.

In USA, there are several states where even police officers wear hijabs and several government establishments. Infact even in the house of representative you can wear your hijab.

Nike is a brand in USA and they are producing hijab which millions are wearing daily and it’s just plain ridiculous that Nigerians will be saying rubbish they don’t know.

If you reach the USA, right from the international airport where you’ll encounter the custom officials (ICE agents), we have several custom officials in hijab and even in private agencies like Fortune 500 companies people use hijab freely without intimidation.

I work in one of the Fortune 100 companies and there are several colleagues that come to work in mid size hijab especially Nike.

Even the restaurant in question already apologized to the woman so I don’t know why Nigerians Christians like to most time brother on things that dosen’t concern them.

Hijab is her right, in as much as they don’t make it compulsory for her to wear it against her will, she is free to wear hijab as she want.

Note: most of you Christians on here are showing more terrorism tendencies by not being tolerant and always finding a way to shoot Islam down at every instant. You are all becoming a menace and it will only be a short time before you all start picking up arms too like the Islamic jihadists.
Can a Christian work anywhere in Saudi Arabia without at least a headscarf?

Before I answer you, are you a Muslim or Christan? If you are a Christian you re a evil let forget about how people of old Testament use to dress, Paul also ssaid in new testament that woman should cover her head always go and read Corinthians very well. You re Muslim I think you re not well, Allah said in Quran that women should cover there beauty from head to below of breast, Now between Bible and Quran where Muslim go wrong if they cover head?

But if you are athiest then your problem is in another area and I can address you. If you want me to

I also don’t like Saudi Arabia with their kind of religious intolerance.

However the discussion is about USA and they are a secular country that dosen’t claim allegiance to any religious faith.

It’s always clearly written when you’re applying for jobs in USA that “USA does not discriminate against race, tribe, or religion”.

That is the American creed of freedom of association and religion and the restaurant in question already apologized to the woman.

Why is it that you Christian bigots always claim purity whereas you are just as fanatics like the Islamic bigots you sought to condemn?

Youre a very nonsensical creature, St. Paul was talking to the Corinthians and Corinthian culture which mandated covering the head for those women in particular to show their submission to their husbands and to God.

Corinth had a reputation for promoting a loose lifestyle and St Paul was telling the Christians there to keep a good image for themselves.

That teaching has nothing to do with hijab of today. You cant compare Greek people in their culture living thousands of years ago with what obtains for modesty in the 21st century.

Stop taking things out of context! It does not help you at all

It's people like this Trump should deport to their country so that she can wear hijab in naija as she likes.
They go to America for economic advantage and want to impose thier acts on the country, something a non moslem cannot try in Saudi Arabia.
Let them migrate to UAE, Saudi, Iraq, Iran, Pakistan, and see if they can behave the way they do in America.
