My word, so now if we allow this crap then we have to allow the same to other faiths and there has to be be about 3000 of them in the world.
Darn it all, we do not MAKE Muslims fly, eat pork, own dogs or wander about bare headed. All people of all faith has the RIGHT to live as they wish, sort of. We only interfear when virgins are thrown into volcano's, Mormons marry 12 year olds or American Indians use a certain root plant to see the future.
One must do what one must do, it is up to them to decide how they live and not force it on others.
This crap is indeed messing with separation between Church and State. To demand Federal laws to exempt them from from the law because of their religion is to place us in a fine pickle. Should the Jews demand no travel of any kind between sunset Friday and sun up Saturday.? Shut down the airports for the Sabbath.
How about the flights that still serve food, will they go to all fish dinners on Fridays to satisfy the Catholics.
Here's a good one, what does a Muslim do when flying alone and the person in the next seat orders a rum and coke and a ham sandwitch.
This is insane, no one makes anyone go anywhere, people choose to go and must put up with what rules and regulations are in force.
It is the travelers option to go by air rail or boat, it is not up to the federal government to accommodate one group or another.Why this question even comes up in America is mind boggling.
The saying " It comes with the territory" comes to mind.
