Of course, the Muslims will never have to go against their religion. They are members of Islam, the only protected religion in the USA, because they could start beheading people if you offend them.
Unfortunately, Christians don’t have that clout. However, we can refuse to support those companies that blackmailed Gov. Brewer in order to get their way.
That includes the bullies at the NFL.
Does this mean that I can go into a Muslim restaurant and order a ham sandwichand and sue him if he refuses to sell me one?
...theoretically, it means exactly that...however, what some of the posters are missing with high falutin’ phrases concerning rights and authority is that all social contracts are only as good as the people they are intended to service...and we the people can use moral suasion to override that which we do not like in any contract...just like the Amish and their shunning, which is counter to their ethical code,but works like a charm to achieve intended behavioral results...in this case, that moral suasion is being applied by a group that trades on garnering moral sympathy, and is being buttressed by one of the major cultural influences in the country (NFL)...in your case of the ham sandwich and the Muslim, the people would simply say ‘take it to another diner and be done with it’, because there is no sympathetic impulse to invoke moral suasion to support your action...
...laws, and flowery prose regarding the Social Contract are all fine and dandy, but when we the people go about the business of creating ‘favored group status’, our affairs with that group becomes a game without cogent rules...
