Religious beliefs are not equal. She will do what she is told or be fired. On the other hand, Muslims are allowed to wear their burkas for their drivers license photos. Employers are also being required to allow certain attire for religious practices. Airlines are providing special meals for the religious. I believe the only religion that has practices that are banned are the Christian faiths. Hey, even traffic is stopped in NYC for Muslims to pray in public.

If she can't perform her job due to religious belief, then they should transfer her to a different department. Do I empathize with her? Yes, but she still has a legal obligation to perform her job or get terminated.
