Give me a break. As if the Roman Catholic-dominated SC has upended Roe v. Wade.
Getting back to the OP's question....Muslim cab drivers are already flouting ADA regulations by refusing to accept fares accompanied by service animals.
And they were told to follow the law or lose their license.
Why is not the gay community and press going after the Muslim bakery with the same hate as the Christian bakery
People are going after Christians because it's the evangelical Christian groups that are behind "religious freedom" laws that are veiled attempts at limiting gay rights. It's about those that are seeking to influence public policy. There's plenty of Muslims, Orthodox Jews, East Asian religions, atheists, and agnostics who might not like gays, but they're in general not the ones sponsoring legislation like the one in Indiana in question and they're not the ones who are mainly behind the pushback against gay rights and gay marriage in the US.
I do read my Bible and it says explicitly that homosexual acts are a sin.
and yes Christ ate with sinners and he also instructed them and told them to go and sin no more.
I am not judging if someone goes to heaven or hell, only God can do that, but we are all called to be Christ like and point out to others their sins. If we can't do that, then we do not need a church either.

I did not say all of them are, some are not as some Cons are not Christians, you have a point, I think not.
LOL, News Flash: You are not the one that determines if someone is a Good Christian or not or the one that Judges, or do you have selective reading issues when reading your Bible?
No you cannot force them to make it, Nazis are not a protected class. Why is this so hard for you to understand?
If they sold that cake to anyone, they would have to sell it to everyone. If they do not sell it to anyone, it is not discrimination.

Are some more equal than others?
Protected classes exist because there are classes that some consider are not equal. Those folks have have to have it made crystal clear to them by having it spelled out.

Get back to us with those results, we got your back!
If they do not sell bacon to anyone, they are not being discriminatory.
Muslim bakeries would be subject to the same rules as Christian bakeries. If they provide cakes to anyone, they have to provide them to everyone.
