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

Posted on 04/04/2015 4:05:29 PM PDT by Tolerance Sucks Rocks

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.

As he has a right to.
I’m sure there is another gay hair stylist out there to take his place.

Who would want to ingest any food or beverage that a muslim has prepared or had access to?

Muslim Pastry Chef Mixed Icing With Feces At Fiesta Supermarket In Dallas

Behrouz Nahidmobarekeh, 49, a devout muslim, is on trial for allegedly throwing the feces on pastries at a Fiesta grocery store. Police said that during an investigation, they found a pile of human feces by his bed. Investigators believe Nahidmobarekeh would dry the feces, either by microwave or just letting it sit out, grate it up with a cheese grater and then sprinkle it at the store. A young boy, maybe 3 years old, was later seen on the surveillance tape, eating one of the defiled cookies.

There were consistent complaints about foul smelling cookies and cakes which led to investigations and apprehension of the muslim pastry Chef."

DHS Uncovers Islamic Plot to Poison Food in U.S. Hotels and Restaurants

"The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has discovered a "plot to poison food in U.S. hotels and restaurants, CBS News reports.

The plot, uncovered earlier this year, involved the simultaneous poisoning of food served in hotels and restaurants across the U.S. over a single weekend. Two different poisons, ricin and cyanide, would be slipped into salad bars and buffets.

According to CBS, a "key intelligence source" confirmed that the threat was "credible." So credible, in fact, that the DHS, Department of Agriculture and the FDA briefed key security officers in the hotel and restaurant industries about the attack.

Officials believe that those behind the plot may be tied to the Yemeni-based al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP). In October, AQAP attempted a cargo bombing scheme, in which explosives were placed in two packages shipped to Chicago addresses."

Philly Muslim Ice Cream Truck Driver Had Urine Popsicles to Sell

"Was Muslim ice cream truck driver Yasser Hassan planning to serve “urine popsicles” to non-Muslim Philadelphia area kids? It’s not clear, but Hussein was drunk driving his ice cream truck in the area and police found at least one bottle of frozen urine in the refrigerator that was used to store ice cream sold to children."

Five Muslim soldiers arrested over Fort Jackson poison probe: report

"Five individuals were arrested amid a probe into food poisoning at Fort Jackson U.S. military base, Fox News reported on Thursday (EST).

Sources told Fox the five men were detained in December over allegations that they attempted to poison the food supply at the South Carolina base.

They were all part of the base's Arabic translation training program, referred to in the Army as "Lima 09".

"Each of them uses Arabic as his first language," one source told Fox News.

In an earlier report, before the arrests emerged, a military source told Fox News the suspects were Muslims.

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

You are so so so on target about this. Just hang out in Seattle for awhile and this is super obvious.

The real fun's going to start when Muslims finally succeed in taking over this country and the Left gets what it deserves!

I'm not waiting for that.

No. He’d have a right to if he believed in freedom of association for all other business owners. I bet he does not, and therefore the restrictions would justly fall on him but NOT on the others who aren’t hypocritical in their belief in freedom.

Much like the blacks in this country you cannot say anything when it comes to muslims either. They can refuse because of thier religion and thier religion has more credibility than you being a christian. This is a so called religion that murders thier own children
