Discrimination: Muslim teen forced to remove Hijab in public

Canada: Despite clearing security at San Francisco International Airport, a preteen was allegedly forced to remove her hijab in public by Air Canada employees, followed by an American Muslim advocacy group now seeking damages.
Filing the complaint, the San Francisco Bay Area chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations asked the airline to implement “immediate policy changes prohibiting discrimination and harassment of Air Canada customers based on their purported race, national origin, and religion amongst others,” CAIR-SFBA said it wants Air Canada to institute cultural competency training for all employees, Huffingtonpost reports .
The CAIR has demanded the Airline to award monetary damages for the emotional distress inflicted on 13-year-old Fatima Abdelrahman who hails from Santa Clara, California.  Ammad W. Rafiqi, CAIR-SFBA’s legal services coordinator has accused the Air Canada’s employees of discriminating Abdelrahman on religious belief who was only 12 years old at the time of incident leaving her “angry and humiliated,” as she was travelling without her family for the first time.
“It is deeply troubling that Air Canada agents and employees would participate in such an incident,” said Rafiqi who is representing Abdelrahman.
According to reports, the victim Fatima Abdelrahman is a 13-year-old U.S. national junior squash team player en route to participate in an international tournament in Toronto along with her teammates on 1 August.
