That said, is it really against the Qur'ran allow others to eat pork, or to work in a workplace in which pork is eaten? If not, it's not really a religious belief, either--simply one custom against another custom. And I'm not sure about the legality around that. Companies limit the rights of their employees all the time, and as long as it doesn't interfere with the religion or health of their employees, it seems to be completely acceptable. The issue in this case will probably end up being whether the woman in question was properly informed of the policy.

Garbage. I'm Muslim and there is no problem with someone else eating pork. Islam is a religion of peace and tolerance - opposed to what all these fundamentalists portray. I would not be offended by someone else eating pork, and I believe the majority of Muslims probably feel the same way.
It says in Quran that "there is no compulsion in religion."
i.e. people who are born Muslim, still have the choice to practice or not. Completley up to them. Since this is the case, I hardly can imagine a Muslim imposing his beliefs on someone who is non-Muslim.
