"A company should be allowed to make its own rules."

Really? What if a company had a rule prohibiting crosses because they were offensive to Muslims? What if the company had rules against prayer mats because they offended Catholics?

What if a company had rules prohibiting all non Muslims from working there because they were offensive to Muslims? What if a company had rules prohibiting blacks from working for them because they offended white supremacists?

Owners used to have the freedom to run their business however they saw fit, but those days are gone. So who decides who has to be tolerant of what? You?...the Muslims?

Why is it the majority has to be tolerant of minorities but minorities don't have to be tolerant of the majority?

The answer is, everyone has to be tolerant of everyone. Unless the court is completely hypocritical, this lady will win a big religious discrimination suit against this company.

They should have the right to do the above, as it is THEIR company.

All the above should be OK as well, as it is THEIR company. No one has the right not to be offended.

So who decides who has to be tolerant of what

The owners

Why is it the majority has to be tolerant of minorities but minorities don't have to be tolerant of the majority?

Yeah, that sucks that that's the case. No one should be forced to tolerate another on their own private property.
