&gt; Personally, I don&#x27;t understand why the people in the first article, that this one is about, were upset that someone of another religion wanted to adhere to their faith.<p>As I see it, they weren&#x27;t upset that &quot;someone of another religion wanted to adhere to their faith&quot;, they were upset that someone of another religion <i>wanted them</i> to take action to adhere to a prohibition of that other person&#x27;s religion.<p>&gt; It seems fairly reasonable that, on air planes non-the-less, that you will encounter many cultures that seem strange to you. Why would that aggravate you?<p>There&#x27;s a substantial difference between <i>encountering</i> another culture and being asked to conform to that culture&#x27;s taboos.
