Video on Muslim bakers points to double standard on gay weddings
The Washington Times ^ | April 3, 2015 | Valerie Richardson

It turns out some Muslim-owned bakeries are no more willing to create wedding cakes for same-sex ceremonies than their Christian counterparts.

Conservative podcast host Steven Crowder posted hidden-camera video Thursday showing employees at several Muslim-owned bakeries in Dearborn, Michigan, declining his business or referring him to other shops when he asked for a wedding cake with the message “Ben and Steven forever.”

Which was fine with Mr. Crowder. “I’m not even saying these Muslim bakeries shouldn’t have a right to do whatever they did — they absolutely should — and many more of them would than Christian bakeries,” he said in his podcast on the website Louder with Crowder.

His video makes a point that has long rankled the right: That Christian-owned shops have been targeted for legal action and derision for refusing to serve same-sex weddings even as gay-rights activists and media outlets ignore business owners of other faiths known for their conservative social views, notably Islam.

The fierce national debate over religious-freedom bills, particularly in Arkansas and Indiana, has increased the attention on Christian-owned businesses, which suddenly find themselves the subject of intense and potentially ruinous media focus.

“There is a witch-hunt now for Christian business owners,” said conservative radio talk-show host Dana Loesch on her Thursday program.

An attorney in my office was dumbfounded when his moslem client got a deal he never would have got for a white or a black client. I managed to get a 5 month continuance in the same circumstance. Moslem is the new protected class.

I doubt if Jews frequent Muslim bakeries any more than Muslims frequent Jewish bakeries.

That’s how it should be allowed to be.

Progressive bastards love to manufacture crisis after crisis.

What it really points out is the hypocrisy of liberals who are willing to burn a Christian owned bakery to the ground over a rhetorical question at the same time they deliberately ignore multiple muslim bakeries that actually did turn Crowder down.

This isn’t about gays or wedding cakes, this is about the hatred of Christianity and the nation it created.

Yes, I have no doubt. I wouldn’t want ground glass or cyanide in my wedding cake.

American leftists are weaklings, physically, mentally and spiritually. They hate guns, femi-Nazis have castrated them and they have no martial skills. Muslims will be given a pass by these Marxists because they need an ally to carry out the mass murder of Christians because they don’t have the mental capability or the martial skills to carry out the deed themselves.

So, hello, Muslims.

I’m guessing that black owned bakeries would be any more welcoming and the media and left would be just as unwilling to report it.

I don't know if it is so much a hatred of Christianity as much as it is a fear. I sometimes hear people going on about "church and state" and Christmas programs at schools, and I usually get the impression they are afraid of something because of their ignorance of the subject. People fear what they do not know.

and a CO court also ruled that a bakery could refuse service to a guy who wanted an “anti-gay” cake.

And the Libs/Progressives are too stupid or ignorant to realize they are being used and their throats are in danger of being slit, too. Useful idiots.
