Should there be special rights granted to people that follow the Sikh religion?

The link is to a Huffington Post article about a Sikh couple banned from a movie theater because they insisted on wearing their KIRPAN which is a ceremonial sword that Sikh’s are given when they are baptized into the religion.

The Sikh couple thinks that the theater forbidding the ceremonial weapon is racist and discriminatory.

I think that religion is given too much consideration and a weapons ban is for everyone. Would be the different if a Redneck Tea Party Baptist insisted that his religion called for him to carry his rifle at all times?
