Not a trolling question. Actually a very valid question. Religious Freedom.
No; in truth I believe the person who believes will take the punishment and disobey the law. Basically disobeying laws you do not agree with is common now days. Christians have taken the consequences of their faith for centuries. No doubt Muslims will do the same.
Aside from the fact that yes, of course the law would apply to a Muslim-owned bakery that already sold wedding cakes to straight couples, the premise is silly. This isn't about a gay couple who seeks out a bakery in a small minority enclave to make some point. It's about the bigotry of the majority culture in this country, who in some cases may be the only wedding cake bakery in a community and who think it's ok to discriminate against other members of that community. That's not religious freedom, that's religious persecution by the majority against the minority. Try reading an American History textbook sometime, and maybe you will understand why it's problematic, and against the principals this country was founded on.

Again, you admit it's not about the law it's about getting even with white Christians.

bigotry of the majority? You have a problem with christians don't you?

No, it is about not letting the majority discriminate against the minority. I also specifically said it also applies to not letting a minority (Muslim) bakery discriminate against another minority (gay) consumer. Where on earth you see "getting even with white Christians" from that defies comprehension.

In which cases? FYI, Masterpiece Cakeshop is in Denver. Do you expect us to believe it's "the only wedding cake bakery in a community"?
