Post from Paul -
Hell yeah, throw the babies out with the bath water... "they" are all the same ... kill 'em all and let the Christian God sort them out.

Whoa, Paul, who said anything about killing anyone?
But do you believe that there is some inherent human right to have any particular job? So the free-labor doctrine that America went by all of its history up until the liberal revolution of the 60s-70s was wrong from the get-go?
These ladies have a 'right' to this particular job? Who gave them that right, cause it's certainly not found in our Constitution?
These ladies are going to sue this company for millions of dollars and win.

Well, that may well be, but not because it's the right thing to happen, it's just because some people who sit on juries (and judges) will permit that to happen! How did these ladies suffer 'millions of dollars' in damages? I thought we were talking about minimum wages folks?
Do you understand that Jewish men in the military service are allowed to where the yamaka with their uniforms?

Yes, but I imagine that the [i]yamulka[/i] may be worn without much fanfare [u]beneath[/u] the regular service headwear or headgear. And I imagine that there are rules and regulations that would, at times, forbid the wearing of even this small item!
What is your problem with religious freedom?

I have no problem whatsoever with religious freedom, for issues that properly pertain to religion. It may have kept me from being a piano player in a whorehouse![:D]
But if I really [u]wanted[/u] to be a piano player in a whorehouse, do you feel management would have the right to prevent me from banging out 'Onward Christian Soldiers' on the piano, at least during 'working hours'?
So if your religion requires that you [u]not[/u] associate with unmarried members of the opposite sex, best strike a whole lotta careers off your list of things to be when you grow up, rather than trying to reform those careers to something that agrees with your religion!
The sad thing is that religious freedom was one of the founding principles of this country and that the Founding Fathers would be rolling in their graves with the suggestions of some of you.

Yes, they may be rolling in their graves, but it would most certainly be over the suggestion that a person's religious identity could trump anything that his or her employer would require in the workplace.
So if it could be proven that American airline passengers would forego flying rather than board planes with the crew wearing turbans and pass through checkpoints manned by Taliban-looking folks in their religious costumes, your answer to the airlines would be - kiss off?
I firmly believe our Founding Fathers would be telling someone to 'kiss off' if these EEOC rules and regulations had been submitted for their consideration!
And it most definitely wouldn't be me!

What an apt quote for my side of this argument!
If anyone around here has a get-rich-quick scheme brewing, it's the trial lawyers who will be taking the airlines, security companies, et al., to Court over this!
