http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/03/14/520113736/employers-hijab-ban-isnt-direct-discrimination-european-court-saysA Muslim woman who was fired over her wish to wear an Islamic headscarf at her job in Belgium did not suffer from direct discrimination, according to the highest court in the European Union. Because her employer had a general rule against religious or political displays, the court says, the woman wasn't treated differently than other workers.
The decision by the European Court of Justice is among the most high-profile developments in a string of public and legal debates in Europe over the hijab debates that have played out against a backdrop of rising nationalism and anti-Muslim sentiment.

display and communicated that to all employees and potential employees, I agree with the Court ruling. I think the workplace should be 100% free of religion, religious dress and politics unless it is a religion based workplace doing work related to that religion.

If it is the same for everyone, it can't be unfair.
