Muslims didn't even complain. Wegmans was just afraid that they might: "The associate further added that - the store had Muslim workers, 'my employees may not know what this stands for, Ex-Muslims of North America, and I don't have enough time and people to educate them on what it is,' and although they were not sure if the employees would be offended, they 'can't put them in that situation.'"
Of course, Wegmans. To put them in the situation of getting offended would be absolutely intolerable. No one should ever have to live with the fact that somewhere else, some people who believe differently are enjoying a cake. Cakes should always be denied to anyone who might somehow be offending Muslims. To allow such people to enjoy cake could turn out to be a mistake of explosive proportions.
So now Christians are forced to bake gay wedding cakes, but "Islamophobic" cakes? Everyone agrees they're beyond the pale.
"Apostates refused service at Wegmans bakery - fear of invoking offense led to discrimination, says Ex-Muslims of North America," Ex-Muslims of North America, June 20, 2016:
Wegmans, a chain of 89 grocery stores, refused to bake and decorate a cake for a private celebration for those who have left the faith of Islam.
The request included a picture of the Ex-Muslims of North America (EXMNA) name and logo, with a caption of "Congratulations on 3 years!", but was refused by an associate from the Fairfax branch of the popular chain, stating that the request was "offensive".
Phone call for ACLU. White courtesy phone.
And as for that cake for “The Ex-Christians of America”....
Bull crap story....how would Wegman’s know if they were ex-Muslim?????
I believe the term is “Bake the damn cake!”
Aloha Snackbar!
It’s a group for those who have left Islam.
Wegmans refuses to bake an “anti-Muslim” cake for the same reason that Scott Adams professes support for Hillary Clinton.
Fear.
And how many ex-Muslims will you offend? You have women working for you? Fire them immediately! You might offend Muslims.
To put them in the situation of getting offended would be absolutely intolerable.

These people asked Wegmans to put Ex muslims of America and their logo on their cake .
The request included a picture of the Ex-Muslims of North America (EXMNA) name and logo, with a caption of “Congratulations on 3 years!”
You know the “justice” department will not swoop down and take their money and harass the hell out of them.
[[You know the “justice” department will not swoop down and take their money and harass the hell out of them.]]
Of course they won’t . The justice department is not anti islam is anti Christian.
Right after the Christian Bakery case against Aaron and Mellisa Klein a Christian walked into a muslim bakery and ordered a cake which the bakery refused to bake and nothing happened there either.
I asked to have a cake made and decorated by Wegman’s once. The writing on the cake looked like it was done by a psychopath trying to camouflage his handwriting. Took to customer service and told them I’d be embarrassed to give anyone that cake, left it in the counter and walked out. Now that I think about it, they might not have understood that I meant it was sloppy. The cake’s message was supposed to look like I bought it on clearance. It was a joke. It said “Happy Bar mitzvah, Irving!”
I like and read Spencer but I’m disappointed in this article. It’s postmarked the 29th so he should know that when the home offices of Wegman’s was contacted they issued a statement that in essence said that the employees were wrong not to bake the damned cake.
Refusal noted Wegmans
All three of them? I wonder what price they have on their heads.
Thanks I just found an article for where they said it should have been baked . Spencer might not have been aware of that when he posted it .

Ex-Muslims of North America may be a clue.
Why is this in the “news”-—or any sodomite Marxist gender crap “in the news” 24/7 and in skools 24/7 (to force irrational, unnatural ideas into heads of children to normalize the behaviors and normalize socialism (group conformity/group-think).
Why is a religion/worldview which is antithetical to the Constitution/Christianity being forced on our citizens-—that the ability to discriminate is “Evil” when it is necessary for a flourishing, great, free Life.
We have a NATURAL RIGHT FROM GOD-—FREE ASSOCIATION—it is FUNDAMENTAL in our CONSTITUTION which is UNALIENABLE (which means we can’t even give the right away-—nor can it be taken by the masters in our government (oligarchy/judges).
Now——can we discriminate? Yes-—in a Free and Just “Justice” System-—absolutely....as long as it is NOT a promotion of Vice (using others in inhumane, evil ways—as a Means to an End and irrationally-—like in sodomizing others/or in rape or promotion of porn which degrades/corrupts the minds/worldview of children.
Should this business be “punished” by the courts/system/govt.-——it is NONE of their business-—it is a private business and they can set their own rules and be bigoted and prefer some over others-—it is the Natural Right of Free Association which is unalienable.
People have the right to not do business with people they don’t respect or don’t like——it is called Free Will-—choice. Destroying Free Will and Individualism is the purpose of our Marxist (unconstitutional) “Justice” (Vice) System which is unconstitutional when it is running private businesses and dictating what they can and can’t do as long as it doesn’t physically damage/hurt others in severe ways (offending is not harming-—it is GOOD to offend others which means you are FREE and can think).
The purpose of a “Justice” system is to promote “public virtue” only——when you promote that which offends the Laws of Nature or God’s Laws——you are promoting Vice which is impossible in a true Justice System.
