A Swedish Muslim woman has won compensation after her job interview was ended when she refused a handshake

A Swedish Muslim woman has won compensation after her job interview was ended when she refused a handshake.

Farah Alhajeh was applying for a job as an interpreter when she declined to shake the hand of a male interviewer for religious reasons. She placed her hand over her heart in greeting instead. The Swedish labour court ruled the company had discriminated against her and ordered it to pay 40,000 kronor in compensation.

The interpreting company in Ms Alhajeh's home town of Uppsala had argued that its staff were required to treat men and women equally and could not allow a staff member to refuse a handshake based on gender. But the discrimination ombudsman said she had tried to avoid upsetting anyone by placing her hand over her heart when greeting both men and women. Sweden's labour court found the company was justified in demanding equal treatment for both sexes - but not in demanding that it be in the form of a handshake only.

Her refusal to shake hands on religious grounds was protected by the European Convention on Human Rights and the company's policy in demanding a specific greeting was detrimental to Muslims. The court also disagreed with the firm's assertion that Ms Alhajeh's approach to greetings would cause a problem for effective communication as an interpreter.

However the judges were divided over the case - with three supporting Ms Alhajeh's claim and two voting against.

After the judgement Ms Alhajeh told the BBC she believed it was important to "never give in" when convinced that one is in the right even as a member of a minority group.

"I believe in God which is very rare in Sweden... and I should be able to do that and be accepted as long as I'm not hurting anyone" she said.

"In my country... you cannot treat women and men differently. I respect that. That's why I don't have any physical contact with men or with women. I can live by the rules of my religion and also at the same time follow the rules of the country that I live in" she added.

I wonder when will judges let killers go free when they will cite koran about killing infidels and claiming they are very religious.

>9:5
>"So when the sacred months have passed away, then slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captive and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush, then if they repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, leave their way free to them."

>9:29
>“Fight those who do not believe in Allah or in the Last Day and who do not consider unlawful what Allah and His Messenger have made unlawful and who do not adopt the religion of truth from those who were given the Scripture - [fight] until they give the jizyah willingly while they are humbled.”

>1:30
>"The Messenger of Allah said: I have been commanded to fight against people so long as they do not declare that there is no god but Allah."
