Left Silent as Muslim Cabbies Reject Gay Games Ads
By Julio Severo
According to FoxNews, 25 Muslim drivers dispatched to Cleveland Hopkins International Airport are refusing to drive cabs adorned with advertising for the Gay Games, which will be held on Aug. 9-16 in the region.
The drivers said that their decision was based on their religious convictions.
Ann Gynn, a spokeswoman for the Gay Games, said the protest is an isolated case, meaning that drivers of other religions (especially Christianity, considering that this religion is still dominant in the U.S.) did not complain about making involuntary propaganda for the gay event. This was a decision by those individual cab drivers. It was a personal decision, she said.
Can you imagine 25 Christian drivers refusing to participate in gay propaganda with no media, government and gay harassment? I can imagine taxicab companies firing 25 Christian drivers for hate and discrimination!
American Christians have been punished as if America were 97% homosexuals and less than 3% Christians.
American Christians have been punished just for standing up for traditional marriage. The recent case of Mozilla CEO Brendan Eich losing his job because years ago he donated for traditional marriage shows that the cultural dictatorship prevalent in America today will allow no dissent that is, Christian dissent.
A couple of gay activists want to marry and they chose a Christian shop to take pictures of their immoral ceremony? In America, you are not free to refuse not if you are a Christian.
This is the (wicked) example America has set for the world see and follow.
Yet, in the case of the Muslim cab drivers, there is other example set. If you are a Muslim, there is an exception. There are personal and religious freedoms that should be respected only in the Muslim case. In fact, I have seen no gaypublication and website protesting the Muslim decision. No gay activist talked about lawsuits and the U.S. media, habitually hysterical and fiercely opposed to Christians rejecting gay impositions, have remained silent. No criticism at Muslims and their personal and religious decisions.
In todays America, I cannot see a Muslim Brendan Eich losing his job because Muslim convictions reject homosexuality. I cannot see any other Muslims losing their jobs, because, in their case, there is no systematic bullying from gay activists and their powerful allies.
My point is this: What is America trying to teach the world? That Christians are out of luck and Muslims are entitled to exceptions?
As a Brazilian I have these worries because the socialist establishment in Brazil, usually trained in U.S. universities, and Brazilian gay activists, also trained in the U.S., just love to mimic American socialist trends, whereas Muslims are entitled to personal and religious decisions and Christians are worthy of unemployment and other Western cultural, social and legal maladies because of their ethical and moral convictions.
What will they and many others around the world learn from the American example? Convert to homosexuality or Islam to be protected from insane Western cultural, social and legal harassment?

How can gay games even be legal? Isn’t that discriminatory? Would a “straight “ Olympics be tolerated?

Wells Fargo....our VA mortgage holder, not a thing I can do to protest it. They were not our original mortgage holder, it got sold to them with out our knowledge. We have owned this house a year in June.

I went over to HuffPo to see how they were taking it. They were uniformly hostile to allowing religious objections to driving a cab with a “Gay Games” ad.
I wonder what their viewpoint would be if the driver was gay, and the cab displayed an ad for an organization that helped gays convert to heterosexuality. Or a feminist cabbie if the ad was for “Operation Rescue”?

Agreed. IMHO, there should be a standard clause in every mortgage that it cannot be sold without the mortgagee’s permission.
I owned a house in Louisville from 1983 till 2003. Mortgage got sold five times. Three of those five times the payments got all screwed up. Two of those three times I was threatened by letter with foreclosure. Nice.

No, they wouldn’t. The left would declare open war on Christianity and have it outlawed, the Bible banned, the churches seized and burned, and the followers imprisoned.

No, they wouldn’t. The left would declare open war on Christianity and have it outlawed, the Bible banned, the churches seized and burned, and the followers imprisoned. It is what they want to do anyway.

Homosexuals demand inclusiveness & acceptance, except when they hold their bigoted Homo Games?
Good for them muslims and the example they set, just don't try to become CEO of the company.
What a dilemma for the MSM.
To: juliosevero
So where ARE the Christian cabbies in this?
When do the majority act more like Phil Robertson and defy the gaysters?

I need a scorecard. I can never remember if atheist trumps gay or muslim trumps feminist or transvestite trumps - oh- never mind. I’m getting a headache.
To: juliosevero
It only means that gays, muslims and the rest of protected groups aren’t that much for their ‘rights’ as they are traditional society which is straight and Christian. They are in alliance and gays aren’t offended as soon as muslims are instrumental to take on Christians.
To: wetphoenix
I mean ‘against traditional society’.
To: aquila48
Actually, the Gay Games says they’re open to all athletes no matter their sex preference. It would be funny for some straight athletes to win their events and wear “One Man and One Woman=Marriage” shirts while celebrating their victories.
To: rabidralph
And just think of their reaction if one would organize Straight Games.
To: wetphoenix
Yeah, I think we already know what that reaction would be like.
To: juliosevero
The homosexuals and the militant feminists will NEVER challenge the Muslims because they know the Muslims will summarily kill them.

Nope. Only whites, heterosexuals, and Christians are even capable of being bigots. Especially those that are all three.

Thanks for pointing that out.
From their website...
“Join us on the Federation as we work, through art/cultural activities and noncompetitive sports, to support the self-respect of lesbian and gay people around the world and engender respect and understanding from the non-gay world.”
They’re being awfully disingenous. They want it both ways, they want to take credit for being “inclusive”, while at the same time using the “games” as a stage to promote homosexuality. They’re home page says it all - it’s all about gayness, so to make it seem like anything else is pure BS.
If they truly wanted to be inclusive they would start by changing the name, say to “The Games”, and then avoid any proselytizing of their lifestyle or sexual preference during the games.
But don’t we already have something like that?
