(460 posts)This one won't touch packaged pork but will lobster.
This one denies rights to others based upon their religion yet wear mixed fiber clothing which is a religious violation.
I sure hope the grocery store she works at does not sell alcohol which is a big no-no in Islam 'Allah has accursed alcohol, its growers, those who squeeze it [from the grapes], its drinkers, its servers, its buyers, its sellers, those who live on its income, its transporter, and the one to whom it is being transported. Touching plastic wrapped beacon is the least of her problems if they sell any alcohol.
In this case she won't touch the packaged bacon but will she touch Lard, Jello or any cheese containing rennet? In the USA there are many foods contain products that are considered haram.

I have no problem with people being pious but how far does the accommodation have to go? If ones religion precludes doing, touching saying or seeing certain things then don't take a job that will require one to violate their religious rules.
