Position Statement on Employment and Religious Accommodation

The purpose of this Position Statement is to encourage both employers and Muslim employees to communicate their differences so that there are increased opportunities for work for Muslims, especially women. We know that there are highly educated and highly skilled Muslim women who will make excellent employees. We are concerned that some employers may become hesitant to hire Muslims because of fears that they may demand “unreasonable accommodation” and somehow jeopardize places of employment.
