A hair salon owner in London claims her business was driven to the brink of ruin after she was ordered to pay $7,800 to a Muslim woman who claimed her feelings were hurt after she was not hired because she wouldn't show her hair at work, The Daily Mail reported Wednesday.
Wedge salon owner Sarah Desrosiers requires employees to showcase different looks for clients, as her shop specializes in alternative cuts and colors. Bushra Noah, 19, who made it clear during her interview that she would not remove her head scarf for religious reasons, accused Desrosiers of discrimination.
Desrosiers, 32, was ordered to pay Noah $7,800 for indirect discrimination by way of "injury to feelings," The Mail reported.
"She is simply someone I met for a job interview, who, for a host of reasons, was not right for the job. I cannot see how she deserves £4,000," Desrosiers told The Mail. "Because of this, there will be a black mark against my name for the rest of my life. I feel I have not done anything wrong, and this is a terrible price to pay for a meeting that lasted 10 minutes."
She was unable to prove to the court that employing someone with a headscarf would have a negative impact on her business' stylistic integrity, The Mail reported
Noah admitted she had attended 25 interviews and not been chosen for any of them before she met Desrosiers. The extremist Muslim group Hizb ut-Tahrir later admitted it had "advised her."
"This has ruined my ambitions," Noah told The Mail. "Wearing a headscarf is essential to my beliefs."
Desrosiers' lawyers are advising her on whether she can appeal the verdict.
Did this woman deserve the money or has England got tooo politically correct for its own good?

I certainly would not someone working on my hair, if I could not see what they had done to their own...there is some humor here tho...and I will leave that to each individual mind...
One has to wonder how many Muslim Hair Salons there are...that would be interesting just to research...
Hurt feelings, what a crock. At least her Muslim breathern did not riot and blow up the salon.
Sirley, I remember that case in Florida, that wasn't too long ago either.
Political correctness has gone insane.
Denmark and the U.S. are the only two countries recently that have dismissed this nonsense. Two weeks ago, Jordan issued subpoenas for the editor of the newspaper and cartoonist that drew the cartoon that got them so upset last year...Denmark told them to go pound sand.
God could not be the three things.
If he will be omnipotente and omnisciente, then it has knowledge of the evil all and power to finish with it, still thus does not make it. It is not good.
If omnipotente will be and good, then it has to be able to extingir the evil and wants to make it, therefore it is good. But it does not know how much badly it exists.
If omnisciente will be and good, then it knows all of the evil and wants to change it. But this eliminates the possibility of being omnipotente, therefore if it it was eradicated the evil.
