123. Actually the salat (5x/day prayer) is one of the five pillars or Islam

Sun Sep 6, 2015, 08:40 PM

Sep 2015

In other words, one of the five MOST important articles of faith for Muslims. There's no sufficient excuse for the pious to skip a prayer.

It's funny doncha think that this Muslimah isn't arguing for her right to salat - just avoiding serving alcohol, a truly minor and secondary religious "requirement".

A truly pious Muslim would never take an airline job precisely because it would interfere with their most sacred religious obligation - prayer. The alcohol prohibition is laughable to real believers since they'd never allow themselves to even be in a situation where they had proximity to alcohol.

You appear to be hung up that this woman is credible in making a "reasonable" request.

The rest of us understand she's not asking for a reasonable accommodation.

She just doesn't want to do the heavy lift of the solo FA flights. She's huevon imo combined with a new converts zealotry.
