Do people get rejected at work because of their religion? What do you think? Has this happened to anyone you know?

Sometime. Let's say that a chef applies for a job at a multi-religion restaurant and has to cook something that consists of pork, what would he/she do? I once heard of such a case where the woman had to resign fron the job. So I believe that not only do the employers can make decisions whether to give someone a job, but the employee and the job decides can cause religion problems.

You have a very good point. So you are saying that people who apply for jobs can also resign because of religious reasons.

Ofcourse people face problems because of their religion or religious beliefs!. I know some friends who got rejected for simply growing beard, and having to pray at noon and afternoon.
Hijab is a big issue now in France. While Muslim women who follow the teachings of their religion believe they should wear it, the French government wants to make it 'illegal' in public institutions.

Depends who thinks is "SUPERIOR" to somebody. Problem that Palestinian stated originates as France assumes the republic is above the "umma7", while "umma7" assumes its being superior to anything that exists.

I don't think it is a problem of superiority. By the way the ummah also consists of Muslim women who do not wear hijab.
The point is those Muslim women who protest the ban believe it is their religious duty to wear it just as it is their duty to pray 5 times a day while the French believe it is against the principles of the secular state of France.

Its a clear conflict of interests.
Depends how we want to view it:
- Holy (?) level: Interests of Islam prevail in such match
- Humanity level: Among humans, its Humanity that dictates the pace, and as such here state of France (society, combined of people) prevails with its intersts.

It is true that religion can be a problem that has to be faced with in the workplace. It is a shame that it comes down to it but there is no choice. I don't think it's because somebody thinks they are better than somebody else. The problem, I think, occurs naturally depending on the other type of workers.

Yes, in some places there were instances that people experienced difficulties looking for a job because of their religion...This is very sad to think that some people are deprived of their rights especially at work. Does it really matters? Well, I don't think so. As long as these people do their job perfectly and confidently then I think there would be no problem..

religion and the workplace...

forgive me for asking this, but was it part of your job qualifications that you pray at noon? and then i believe that much as keeping a beard or not is a personal decision, one must take into consideration the kind of job you are trying to apply for.you can't possibly look like santa claus in a high-flying boutique that sells itself as young,hip and modern and expect to get a job as the front desk sales man?...i am a staunch believer that religion should in no way be mixed with a job...no successful business can run that way when precious man hours are lost to religious activity such as praying during office hours. if you must observe your religious obligations, then get a job that lets you work shifts or that does not have a concept that conflicts with the scarf and beard that you have vowed to keep and then we there'll be less tantrum over this issue...

The people you work with are the ones who are going to determine whether religion will be an issue at the workplace.
Many organizations have however installed measures to ensure that employees are not discriminated against on any grounds be it race, sex or religion.

Religion, opium du peuple où misère de peuple?

Ajourd'hui la plus grande vague de terrorisme reste liée à la religion. Cela suppose une incompréhension entre les cultures, les coutumes , les rites et les croyances des uns et des autres.
Alors, au regard de ce fait, le constat montre aussi qu'il est des entreprises où le mérite n'a pas droit de citer et où ce sont des valeurs réligieuses qui permettent de récruter les employés. Or, si l'école est laïque, c'est justement pour donner sa chance à tout un chacun de pouvoir travailler dans la société, quelle qu'elle soit.
je crois que c'est le mérite qui doit orienter l'employeur à recruter des travailleurs. Mais s'il a des convictions religieuses, autant les déclarer lors de la sélection de ses employers afin de ne pas les mettre devant des situations délicates. Aussi, l'éventuel employé doit faire de même. Si cette donne s'applique, il me semble que le problème de réligion ne peut pas se poser.
Or s'il s'agit plutôt de vanter les mérites de telle ou telle religion, cela donnerait de toute évidence des situations désagréables. C'est pour quoi, pour ma part, il est souhaitable d'oublier ses tendances religieuses lorsqu'on est dans une administration où lorsqu'on travaille quelque part. Car, un tel comportement induirait forcément des mécontentements. D'où ces désastres du terrorisme de nos jours.

Let's just face this... People hire you based on what you look like. This should not come as a surprise to anyone. Any department store that you go to, you will see these women that are young, well madeup, well dressed in an attire that reflects the products they are selling... behind the cosmetics counter. If you go to a warehouse facility, you will see something else. And usually it's the guys who are doing jobs that require heavy-lifting or strenous work. That doesn't mean they are being discriminated against by sexism.
Similar to what xakt79 stated earlier on in these posts, you can't expect to get a job as the mall Santa Claus if you don't resemble that image. All companies want you to portray a certain image of them. It is THEIR business. It is always upto them on whom to hire, based on what, etc. It's NOT RIGHT to be denied a job because of what you look like or dress like (because you didn't create yourself), but at the end of the day, the company is paying you to get THEIR job done, the way THEY want it.
As for the French muslim women, it is really not a religious requirement to wear hijabs, they prefer to do so. They should feel free to wear whatever they want as they supposedly have freedom of individuality. They just shouldn't expect to be treated a certain way because of it. Nobody is right or wrong, the French Government just seems to have too much time on their hands to be able to start a fight where they could really do without!
