my point is I think the muslim stewardess is suing for discrimation when in all actuality she was discriminating all the other stewardesses she worked with by being different.

I think this is discrimation

what if a muslim waiter refused to serve pork or bacon in a restaurant? should they be allowed to work there if they refuse to actually serve the food on the menu?

probably so but I see employees get mad at everything...from someone being able to come in later than everyone else to they have an ice machine and we don't. And much more petty things than that which I usually choose to ignore.

I see your point, and my admittedly not strong rebuttal would be to say that serving alcohol on flights is not a flight attendants core job. They are there to ensure safety of passengers. And people don't get on a plane to be served alcohol. It wouldn't work if she wanted to work at Harold's House of Hog but not serve pork, but I get the logical flow.

Just to clarify, I think the suit is mot likely bogus. I think employers are way too handcuffed in situations like this. But I also know that it is very possible to not have it come to this in many cases, unless one of the parties just really wants to make a point.
