Workplace discrimination of Muslim women wearing Hijabs justified?

Health and Safety after all

From Eric Dondero:

Local governments and businesses in the U.S., Canada and across Europe are struggling with how to deal with increasing demands of Muslim workers. Hertz rent-a-car just made national news for laying-off Muslim drivers who took too many un-authorized breaks for prayer times.

Now this from the AustrianTimes.com:

A woman almost got strangled when her headscarf got caught in a dough mixer.

The 21-year-old woman worked a dough mixing machine in a tent at a party in Vienna's Krieau on Saturday night when her headscarf was caught in the running machine, strangling her by the throat.

A passer-by noticed the accident and cut the headscarf with a knife, saving the woman. She suffered life-threatening injuries but meanwhile is on the way of recovery, the doctor treating her said.

Could a bakery now claim that hiring a Muslim women would be a occupational safety hazard?
