Muslim Bakeries Refuse to Make Gay Wedding Cakes
The manufactured outrage over religious freedom has hit a new high this week. Apparently a Pizza shop that doesn’t cater weddings, said it wouldn’t also cater a gay wedding. Much liberal gnashing of teeth ensued. But what about Muslims? Do they refuse service for things they disagree with? Steven Crowder went to Dearborn to ask some Muslim bakers to make him a gay wedding cake.

If a place is going to discriminate then let everyone know in that town/city know about it. If people want to still go to it then let them go, if they want to go some place else then that is good. But it is a double standard because for some reason it's only Christians that get the bad rap (yet muslims are the ones that are killing in other countries).
Did you hear about the pizza place that would not cater to a gay wedding? Well it was a hypothetical situation and the pizza place does not even cater. Yet people started to send death threats to that place. Forgot that freedom is not really free if you disagree with the left.

What Do Gays Really Want From The Church?
By Patricia L. Dickson
"After a federal judge in Idaho recently ruled that the state’s ban on gay marriage was unconstitutional, ordained ministers Donald and Evelyn Knapp who own the Hitching Post wedding chapel in the city of Coeur d‘Alene, were asked by a gay couple to perform their wedding ceremony. According to Fox News , the ministers declined to perform the wedding due to their opposition to same-sex marriage. However, because the Hitching Post wedding chapel is registered as a for-profit business rather than a church or place of worship (although the wedding chapel is registered with the state as a “religious corporation” limited to performing “one-man-one-woman marriages as defined by the Holy Bible”), they must comply with a local nondiscrimination ordinance that was passed last year. The question that is most puzzling to me is why did the gay couple choose to do business with that particular wedding chapel? Were there not any other places that they could have gone (such as the Justice of the Peace) to have their wedding performed? Why did the gay couple in Colorado approach the Christian Bakery? Were there no other bakeries in their city or town? It appears that the gay community is targeting Christians and the Christian church. If that is indeed the case, what do they want from the church?
We were assured by President Obama after the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn the Defense of Marriage Act that he wouldn’t try to force religious institutions to conduct gay marriages. However; I think that the slippery slope metaphor is appropriate for this issue. I have always contended that the goal of the gay rights advocates is to somehow get the church to approve of the homosexual lifestyle by forcing churches to perform gay marriages. If gay couples were to win every court case against Christian business owners or if the law somehow changed so that every Christian pastor is forced to perform same-sex weddings in the church, would they be satisfied? I do not believe that they would because their battle is not a political one, it is a spiritual one. Spiritual issues need to be addressed with God, not fought in the courthouse. Neither man nor woman (through the court system or through his or her approval) can win a spiritual battle for an individual. Gay couples know that Christian ministers pray for God’s blessing over heterosexual couples when performing church weddings. They are seeking what man cannot give, God’s blessing and approval of their lifestyle.
The gay community is constantly attacking the church as if the church were singling them out. However, it is the other way around; the gay community is singling out the church. How else do you explain gay couples running straight to Christian business owners as soon as their state lifts the ban on same-sex marriage? The church does not single out the homosexual lifestyle when preaching against sexual sins -- as though the Bible rates sin on some scale from one to ten. God rates and rejects all sin equally (lying, adultery, theft, fornication). On the other hand, God has love and compassion for sinners so much so that He sent His son Jesus to die and pay the price for sin so that all could be free from the bondage of sin and receive salvation.
(Bible verses omitted)
When I read about Christian business owners being targeted and sued by gay couples, my emotions swing from one extreme to the other. My first reaction is righteous indignation when I consider the political implications of the same-sex marriage issue and the agenda against the church and the people of God. However, when I turn my focus to the individuals, my anger turns to compassion. When I look at the photos of gay individuals marching with signs and scowls on their faces, I am willing to believe that underneath all the anger lies a soul yearning for God’s approval of their lifestyle.
Yes, I know that many homosexuals and lesbians claim that the Bible is outdated and that Christians are bigots; nonetheless, the first place they run is to a Christian business owner or minister. If they really believed that Christians are bigots, why would they suffer being in their presence? Who do you know chooses to be in the presence of bigots? What these individuals know is that the safest place to be is in the company of God-fearing people. The Washington Times reported on the Christian ministers in Idaho: “On Friday, a same-sex couple asked to be married by the Knapps, and the Knapps politely declined.” Not everyone that opposes the homosexual lifestyle does so because of a religious faith. Some individuals are just plain bigots. True bigots are full of hate and have no problem verbally and physically attacking the target of their bigotry.
It is my belief that the church is the only place where gay individuals can truly find compassion. The gay advocate groups do not care about the individuals. They are just using them to further their political cause in the same way as the abortion advocates use women and young girls. When and if these individuals decide to seek counseling, the church should be the first place they turn."

I'm with you.
I'm going to look at this from a different perspective...
This is in reference to a handful of 'muslim bakeries', right?
Why is it so important that THESE bakeries cater to gays? Why do we care so much? If they aren't serving gays, then boycot them and don't do business with them. They'll go out of business soon enough.
Our stance should be, 'if they don't cater to all of us, then they'll cater to NONE of us'.
There are plenty of other fish in the sea, and I'm sure the other bakeries that WILL cater to gays (et all), will be thankful for the additional business.
Am I off base here?

Not sure why we are kissing butt.
It's interesting, isn't it? Sharia law getting any legitimacy here as 'real' law is scary.
My question is simple, why are we kissing the muims *****?
They should be sued. It should also be widely known that this bakery is discriminatory (just like a ton of bible thumpers are) and nobody needs to follow their "moral code". In fact, I think this group should have a list of whom they refuse to do business with on their front door, just so its absolutely crystal clear what kind of bigotry and what kind of a "peaceful and loving group" of people we are really dealing with here.
Then this thought came to mind, what if the pizza joint and the bakery found out that the people they get their supplies from is gay? Shouldn't they just have to end it all at that point? You know, long walk off a short pier?

Well, you know, Ricky, for anyone else to refuse to do anything for a gay wedding, it's discrimination, plain and simple - no questions asked; but now, Muslims... they can send the couple somewhere else and nobody questions them - why? Shouldn't they be sued just like a Christian?
