Abstract
Stigmatization of the hijab or headscarf is a common xenophobic reaction in the workplace. From America to France, and Germany to India, Muslim women who wear the hijab face prejudice and bigotry. This chapter offers empirical evidence of wide-spread discrimination against hijab-wearing Muslim women in the U.S., and how this and other forms of religious discrimination have increased since the September 11, 2001 attacks. The study serves as an example of how the interplay of the legal protections, motivational factors, organizational standards, and social barriers informs options of religious discrimination or inclusion in the workplace
