...I'm not excusing, there just isn't enough information to make any further comment because there seems some inaccuracy in reporting with the use of Muslim...it's not known whether the airline accepted the passenger's restrictions..the restrictions I believe may have also been that they couldn't be served by female staff....so did the airlines know and accept all of this beforehand.../which would be different to the cake scenario...

Isn't it discrimation based on religious beliefs whether the airline accepted it or not?

It may well be, however unless that discriminating view is applied to a real life scenario as it was here it's hard to hold them accountable.

...I wouldn't say it was discriminating against for religious beliefs, it was more favouring in that the woman was moved from her seat to accommodate those religious beliefs...the 'ism' I would say was sexism because she wouldn't have been asked to move or been moved had she been a male I presume...as I said though and this is the Independent article...

...all we have/all the story has atm is this lady's words in an interview so there really isn't (for me..)...anything else to comment on atm...

They were sexist bigots, we should all care about discrimination against women.
