I'm all for people like that not touching any woman in any context, ever. (Just to be safe, right?)
However, it's their responsibility to follow their religious beliefs. Not anyone else's. If they need to be seated elsewhere, then THEY need to move. To do otherwise isn't to hold a religious belief - it's to impose it on others.
It's an issue of responsibility. I imagine most people who have things like this make arrangements (buy extra seats, contact airline or whatever) but it's the expectation of last minute accommodation that really irks me because it is irresponsible.
