I may be wrong on this, but I think mormonism started right here in the good old US of A. Now I think mormonism spread back to Europe, than some came to the US to go to zion. Just a thought.
I do agree that freedom of religion is what makes USA the best country this planet has known (among other things). But there are laws to contend with. What some consider religious practice, the legal system declares wrong. Tink cults where 13 and 14 year old girls are married off. So there is definatly a fine line here.
IMHO the FA was free to excercise her religious right by leaving a job where she felt she was required to do things she felt was against allah. Soooo why did she stay and make a fuss? Rediculous. Thats like me sueing my adult shop employer for making me sell rubber dix even though its against my "all natural" beliefs
