  b.. 
  c.. The US government has accused clothing retailer Abercrombie & Fitch of discriminating against a Muslim teenager by denying her a sales job because she wears a headscarf.
In a lawsuit in federal court, the US equal employment opportunity commission said that 18-year-old Samantha Elauf of Tulsa, Oklahoma was turned down for a sales position because her hijab violated Abercrombie & Fitch's "look policy" for sales staff.

"The discrimination that took place flies in the face of what America stands for," said Razi Hashmi, executive director of the Oklahoma Council for American-Islamic Relations, which helped Elauf file her initial complaint. "We stand for pluralism and freedom, and especially freedom of religion."
