I hope everybody remember the situation with baker who refused to make wedding cake for homosexual couple. Now he should pay lesbian couple up to $150,000 for his beliefs...http://www.nydailynews.com/news/nati...icle-1.2103577
And everybody remember same situation, but with so-called "gay bakeries?" They said that they will not bake "anti-gay cakes" WITHOUT any consequences!
13 "Gay" Bakeries Deny Christian's Request for Pro-Traditional Marriage Cake - Freedom Outpost
And now, the story begins... But now, with new persons
With the white-hot attack of the nation’s media and leftist activists on Christian business owners who object to making products that endorse same-sex marriage, one party has been curiously absent from the national discussion: Muslims.
Hidden Camera: Will MUSLIM Bakers Make a Gay Wedding Cake?Top Right News
Steven Crowder noted how gay activists are so silent about Muslim oppression in Islamic nations — where “moderate” Iran routinely hangs gays from cranes in downtown Tehran, and ISIS throws gays off buildings every week.

What do you think about this, guys?
The guy in the video is a complete moron. He is just baiting the Muslims to do what he hoped they would do to prove his "point". But what he missed is that, Christian or Muslim, both stores would face discrimination suits if they discriminate against gays.

Like bullies anywhere, these gay activists and their ilk go after those they deem vulnerable, those they can attack without getting hurt themselves. They know they have the support of the ever PC lame stream news media and left wing politicians with their attacks on selected groups (Christian groups in particular) and they can expect their supporters to carry on their agendas and even add to the false narrative.

We all know it isn't politically correct to cast any aspersions, even suggested aspersions on our Muslim brothers, and if those carrying the perennial LGBT victim banner even uttered a peep against them, they know their agenda supporters would let them hang out to dry with the fatwahs over their heads.

At least IMO.

So do you seeanyone out there trying to destroy the businesses of those Muslim owners? Didn't think so. Not that it's right to do that to anyone, mind you.

"The guy in the video is a complete moron. He is just baiting the Muslims to do what he hoped they would do to prove his "point"."

Of course, wasn't hard to find Muslim business owners to do what they naturally do though. The Lefts demonization of Christianity is so strong that they would give their pet chosen Religion, Islam, a free pass on discrimination. No surprise.

The Left seems to always have an excuse: "There's not so many of them?", or there our moderates Muslims that are ok with Homosexuality. Islam is the fastest growing religion in the US and they have outnumbered Jews for years, so their numbers are not small. How many ministers or gay clergy are there in the world? Most likely 10s of thousands. How many Gay Imams are there in the World? 5.

Even in Israel Conservatives Jewish Rabbis are adapting to Gays in their flock. When is this going to happen in Saudi Arabia? uh, when Jesus is invited into the Royal family

People should differentiate between orthodox Muslims and extremists Wahabbists- hating the latter. I hate all radicals from all groups, but as stated here Muslims are a TINY minority, statistically insignificant even. That is why no one focuses on them.
The problem with that is by the time a Muslim is actually a moderate they really become Muslim in name only. Culturally Muslim but observing none of the 5 Pillars is a good example of Muslims I have worked with. I have relatives that are Muslim who I have never seen observe the call to prayer? To some they wouldn't be Muslim

Note to people who want to buy wedding cakes: Go to your favorite bakery (please vote based on flavor, not overly decorated monstrosities) and ask for a simple wedding cake.

Buy your toppers from Amazon. I'm sure they've got one for every situation, and more.

Done!

P.S.: What's a Muslim bakery??? I dunno about you, but when I go into an establishment I don't ask the religion of the owners, nor do I care if the workers are wearing religiously oriented garb, whether habibs, yarmulkes or crucifixes. My main concerns are, can they cook/bake, and is it clean, since I had my own food store once upon a time and I know what to look for. Secondarily, price. Ambience takes a dead last because some of the best places aren't foo-foo and some of the foo-foo places are awful.

Well, my opinion about not serving people because of a "religious" opinions doesn't change because the business owner is Muslim. If you want to discriminate because of a religious views, don't go into business. Simple as that..

So what is this? "See they do bad things TOO Mommy!" Who cares?

If this happened, they are both wrong. But I don't think it did.

There is a Muslim run convenience store near my house. They sell pork products, beer, wine and tobacco. That's against the Muslim religion.

But it's a business, not a mosque.

I AM a Christian. Actually, I am an active member of my church. However, I am appalled by the way some members of the Christian right behave.

I think the point was, when a Muslim-run bakery does it, we don't have social media all over it, we don't have thousands of people writing bad Yelp reviews for the Muslim bakery, and we don't have the Muslim bakery getting death threats.

Why is that? That is the question.
