Most Muslim Americans do not wear had hear so they would need to wear a cap in the dugout or on field and a batting helmet at bat or on base.

Disney got sued for a similar Muslim belief, a longer beard. This was back when they only really allowed mustaches. Eventually they allowed kept beards. If I am not mistaken, that was a condition of a settlement.
I am not trying to argue with you, but I am curious what do you think of "Equal Employment Opportunity"

Many perhaps don't know, but the swastika is actually an ancient origins are within the Hindu faith. But because the Nazis used the swastika for political purposes it has taken the once great magic out of this symbol of love and peace and turned it into something else.

The swastika is one of the 108 symbols of Hindu deity Vishnu and represents the Sun's rays, upon which life depends.

To this day it is a sacred symbol in Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Odinism.

If a person wears a swastika for religious purpose ONLY, should he or she be denied a job opportunity under equal employment opportunity law? Why or why not?

I don't think so as Hooters can hold up their staff a quasi strippers. As long as they don't forbid a head scarf while in the rest of their suggestive uniform. If Abercrombie and Fitch didn't have hair styling requirements then the should have to make the reasonable compromise of allowing a scarf with the rest of their approved staff wardrobe.
