Race has nothing to do with it. Islam is a religion, not a race.
We don't have a forced religion in this country. Why should she be forced to sell something she considers against her religion? The other question is why couldn't the customer find a member of staff who was willing to sell?

Having said that, I believe the world would be a lot nicer place if we *all* learned to make concessions.
