DETROIT – A Muslim woman has filed a federal lawsuit against a Livonia Dermatology clinic for allegedly getting fired just two days after the mass shootings at San Bernardino.

Terry Ali claims, who wears the hijab, said she had only been on the $14-an-hour job for one day at Livonia Dermatology when national news broke about the shootings carried out by a Muslim couple.

A day later she said she showed up to work and she was assigned to work in a back room putting away files, as opposed to interacting with customers in the front, which she had been hired to do. 

After two days of working in a back room, Ali was fired via an email fro an office manager.

Ali followed up with a lawsuit, claiming she was let go because she was Muslim.

Livonia Dermatology adamantly denies the claim, noting the co-owner of the clinic, Meena Moossavi, is from Iran and Muslim, and that the clinic staff is very diverse, including Indian, Russian, Hispanic and Muslim individuals. The office manager said Ali was terminated because she couldn’t type fast.

Office management claims they even provided Ali with a private room to pray in. 

According to the lawsuit, Ali responded on Oct. 30 to an ad for a medical assistant-receptionist position with Livonia Dermatology. The next day, she interviewed for the job.

During the interview, she was asked why she wore a hijab, the lawsuit says. She explained that it was because of her faith.
