It is compulsory to cover the head in Islam.


I don't believe that it is compulsory. The main idea is modesty and that doesn't necessarily mean covering your hair.

The problem lies in that if a Muslim can wear that then a non Muslim should be allowed to choose to wear flip flops because they have bunions or w/e due to medical reasons but there is no way in hell that would happen. They wouldn't be taken seriously just like a person wearing something on their head won't be taken seriously by some.

I don't think comparing medical reasons to religious reasons is appropriate. Medical reasons are beyond our control, whereas religious garments are an expression of faith.

Youre not giving 'constructive criticism' youre spreading hate. If you wanted to give it you would be asking people with experience if they feel that wearing it has had an impact, not constantly saying that it's unprofessional. 'Everyone' knows this...as ive said, never heard about it pal, so it certainly isn't 'everyone'. What if the person interviewing you for a big top notch, well paying, dream job was wearing a hijab, what would you do?

That's exactly my point though.... Two people applying for a job and one has to wear flip flops due to medical reasons and the other is normal and they both are level on experience and education who do you think they will choose??

Muslims shouldn't be allowed to wear unprofessional attire when others aren't allowed to do the same without ridicule.

Exactly. The fact that some people cannot comprehend that is beyond me.

If you have had a proper education, you should have heard about it.

You probably haven't been in a professional position before then or done any research on interview etiquette.

What education did you have, mate? My school must of not been updated that the curriculum teaches hatred. I think youve went to a pooey school (sorry, is that vulgar offensive for you as well) if they force opinions down your throat.
