I was taking this e-learning thingy at work and I there were questions somewhat as follows:
1. If an employee wears a cross on a neck, it should be:
a. it's okay to wear a cross to work
b. it's not okay to wear a cross to work
2. If an Islamic woman is wearing a religious clothing to work around her head, she should:
a. take if off
b. keep it on due to her religious regulations
I answered questions number one as "a" and it said 'wrong, a riliseous symbol such as a christian cross may offend someone at work or a customer alike",
so I answered to the second question "a", sinse religious symbolism is not allowed at work, and it said "wrong, racial descrimination is not allowed at work place, therefore an islamic woman can have her head covered at work in avoidance of descrimination towards her religious beliefs".
I was shocked. As far as I know, and what the History tells, America is known to be a Christian country. Also, would you ever see someone wear cross in Iraq?
