A crappy situation,.. looking for advice for a friend of mine. Please read.

I would like to thank everyone here for replying.

It's definately been a strange, and difficult time for her up until now.

I completely agree with everyone here... from ( worrying about a religion that requires you to wear it,.... to.... If company policy says no,.. then "no",.. to.. "when in rome..." and also " it's her choice to leave" etc...

Well here is the update... and I'm kinda shocked in a way.. but..  Her convictions are strong, and deep rooted... so She left.  
   

It is good for her because it shows that she has quite a strong conviction to her faith,.. but at the same time I can understand the "employer" aspect of it.. ( no much prior notice given,.. and simply gone (( as of now )) ).

It is really crazy,. but I guess there is a Clarity throughout the fog for "her."  

Anyway,.. seriously, thank you all for your opinions/ideas etc. I pretty much had all these thoughts in my head already... and she did for the most part as well.

I guess if there is one lingering question remaining... it is then:  Where does it specifically say that wearing one is required" in the Quran  

if someone could post a link/cite a script of some sort that would be great.

Thanks everyone.

Sad to hear she left. She will likely just end up facing the same issue wherever she applies to.

And like I said, not just in S. Korea but in the USA as well.

quick mini update

She is heading to Jordan ( Middle East ), so I guess she'll fit right in.

It's a totally bizar and .. kinda unbelievable situation,.. but it's happening,.. right now.. in process. So crazy..

Anyway, yeap..

What was her job yeager?

I can think of dozens of reasons for denying her request including safety and security aspects.

Heya Vulcan,

She was a fairly experienced and well respected teacher.

It is somewhat strange as how the tone could change based on her making it out in the clear that she was a muslim etc.

The parents of all the students loved her from what I can gather and it seems really strange as to how suddenly that would change because she wore a scarf/head piece thing

Hard call. However... this is just from my experience with Asians (I know a few heh - looks at missus). But generally when they step outside of Buddhism into another religion they tend to become quite "fervent" about that religion. I would guess there is more to the story than just the headgear.

Well, thats what religions are for.  Devide people and give the an excuse/reason to hate.  Funny thing is, they all talk about love and compasion at one point or an other.

Things changed for her not because of the scarf, but because she advertised that she was of a different religion.
