From the department of "get in line."

I saw this story on Jezebel and had to laugh:

"A Muslim teen in Oklahoma is alleging that a manager at an Oklahoma Abercrombie & Fitch refused to hire her because her head scarf "didn't fit the chain's image." A Muslim civil rights group has filed a federal complaint on the girl's behalf, citing the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which states that an employer must reasonably accomodate employees' religious practices."

Hmmm. Dear Muslim civil rights group - I, uh, don't want to seem dismissive of your grievances or whatever, but you guys, I promise this one really ain't about you.
