"Differences in Islam" Please respond to the following:
James's employer requires all of its employees to be clean-shaven. James is a newly hired employee, and was hired based on an online application and a telephone interview. When he arrives the first day with an unshorn beard, his supervisor informs him that he must comply with the "clean-shaven" policy or be terminated. James refuses to comply, but fails to inform his supervisor that he wears his beard for religious reasons.
- What are some beliefs and practices of Islam?
- Did the employer do the right thing?
- If you were the manager, how would you handle this situation?
