Rogers issued the ruling on Tuesday, according to CTV. The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission filed a lawsuit on Khan's behalf in 2011 and SAN FRANCISCO -- A federal judge in San Francisco has ruled trendy clothing retailer Abercrombie Fitch wrongly fired a Muslim worker who insisted on wearing a head scarf. The company claimed the head scarf violated its policy governing the look of its employees, which it said was part of its marketing strategy.
