Muslim woman fired from Abercrombie & Fitch over her refusal to remove Hijab

One important article of faith for some Muslim women is the Hijab - the head covering worn as a sign of modesty. Abercrombie & Fitch fired one Muslim lady for her refusal to take it off while she was at work. As a result, she's suing. In this video on CNN, she cites the 1st Amendment as granting her freedom of religion. However, some courts have found that the United States Bill of Rights and the Constitution grant those freedoms from the government - not from private businesses.
