Kicked from my guild for having to pray?

Posting on an alt for obvious reasons

Yesterday I logged into my main to find I had been kicked from my guild and had a letter telling me it was because I afk too often during raids. I won't patronise people and assume they are ignorant but as a Muslim prayer often falls within raiding times and I am forced to take a relatively short afk break, which I thought my guildfriends understood. As you can imagine this happens on almost every raid.

I don't know if it was the pressures of Ulduar but I was surprised to have been kicked for this reason. I had raided with my guild for almost a year and considered many of them as close friends so I won't be naming them. However, is something like this reportable? I can't help but feel discriminated against and the fact that I was kicked for practicing my religion demonstrates intolerance by my ex-guild leader which I would assume is against Blizzard policies?
