Christians don't behead reporters...

The liberal media’s witchhunt on Christian bakeries and florists after the passage of Indiana’s Religious Freedom Restoration Act ignored facts that should have been obvious: Christianity wasn’t the only religion that considers homosexuality sinful.
Fox News contributor and comedian Steven Crowder traveled to Dearborn, Mich. to do something the liberal news media would never dare. He asked Muslim bakery owners if they would bake a wedding cake for a gay couple.
Crowder noted that the media were “deliberately trying to set the narrative of mean, hateful Christians vs. poor, innocent gay people who are having their rights completely trampled.” Meanwhile, he said, gay people were being killed in “virtually every Muslim country” around the world. But the media were too busy reporting on the possibility of anti-gay discrimination by Christians to notice they were promoting discrimination and hate against Christians with biased reporting.
In the two days following an interview with reporter Alyssa Marino at a local ABC station, the family-owned restaurant Memories Pizza had to close shop because of all the violent threats against the owner. CNN reporter Gary Tuchman sought out Christian florists who wouldn’t provide flowers for a gay ceremony.
Tuchman even approached a Christian florist and started hounding her about her beliefs on April 1’s Anderson Cooper 360. "The Bible talks an awful lot about love and loving your fellow man....You're not loving them if you don't want to serve them – right?" Tuchman asked.
And later he pressed, "If someone didn't honor their parents or committed adultery, would you serve them?" It was hard to know which was worse, Tuchman’s condescension or the screen’s chyron which read, “Claiming Freedom, Shunning Gay People.” The kind of intolerance and bigotry shown by the left was reminiscent of the attacks on California business owners and donors because of Prop 8 support a few years ago.
Businesses were vandalized and had to close because of threats they received. Several Christian businesses have faced lawsuits, thousands of dollars in fines, or had to close their businesses down, due to their conscientious objections to provide their services for gay weddings. Indiana’s law was enacted to protect such business owners.
Like the Southern Poverty Law Center’s hate map, which inspired real left-wing violence against a conservative organization, the left’s attempt to portray Christians as bigots has allowed for more anti-Christian violence. - See more at: http://newsbusters.org/blogs/kristine-marsh/2015/04/03/why-isnt-media-going-after-muslim-bakeries#sthash.wOefARoD.dpuf
Because the muzzie bakers would kill them.
Winner.

Because it’s not politically correct ? And not politically useful just yet ?
Love those hypocritical gotchas. Would Tuchman sell a baseball bat to a spouse abuser, about to perform his “ceremony”? Huh? Huh? He wouldn’t want to “discriminate”, would he?
Liberalism 101:
Only a white conservative christain is capable of discrimination.
the hate, bigotry and intolerance by the left is right up there with ISIS and notice how they only keep mentioning Christians while they target Christians.
here is a message to the hate mongers and bigots. I will not shut up, nor will I ever accept that you are married no matter how many judges you get to tell me.
Amen ! There is more of us ( that are with us ) than there is of them.
That’s what the prophet Elisha said to his servent when he prayed that God would open his servents eyes to see the whole host of angels and chariots of fire.
Simple answer: (1) they are cowards; and (2) it would confuse the narrative. The narrative is that conservative Christians are bigots and haters, and putting Muslims into the equation would put a supposedly threatened minority on the side of the bigots and haters. It might provoke a more nuanced discussion, it might mute the hysteria, and that is not tolerable, so it won’t be allowed to happen.
Because they are hedging their bets if Cruz wins the nomination. They are going to try to desensitize the 18-34 vote to a point where hearing the word God will be like pushing grandma off the cliff back in 2012.
Bet on this. Until Cruz announced, not much.
The lame stream media’s agenda is to destroy Christianity, Western ideals -— and not to destroy their muzzie allies who are about the same effort -— albeit with a decidedly different approach.
The gay crowd won’t go after Muslims, simply because they will go “jihad” on them.
Maybe Christians should emulate the Lion rather than the Lamb.
Here’s an idea for some enterprising Freepers: go to some Muslim-run business, like a bakery or some such thing, and ask to have your gay wedding catered. Get it on video, optimally. When they say no, throw that out into the world. It’s lose-lose for the homos: if the homos get riled up, it’s homo vs. muslim, if the homos say nothing, they show their anti-Christian hypocrisy.
Because this isn’t about gay marriage. This is about hatred of Christianity and the nation it created.
Steven Crowder already did it and liberals are dutifully ignoring it.
For the same reason atheists don’t dare sue Muslims.
