The top European Union court ruled on Tuesday that public authorities in member states can prohibit employees from wearing signs of religious belief, such as an Islamic head scarf, in the latest decision on an issue that has divided Europe for years.

The case came to the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) after an employee of the eastern Belgian municipality of Ans was told she could not wear an Islamic head scarf at work.

      yes. and they do not give a fuck either way. Be religious, be not religious, we don’t care. Besides, the court’s ruling is in the article, so I assumed people knew what was up and thus would detect my hyperbole as such.
