Is anyone surprised by this? Steven Crowder went into a bunch of Muslim bakeries in Dearborn, Michigan, and tried to order a “gay” wedding cake. Many of the bakers politely declined and sent him to other bakeries, including one man who tried to send him up the street to Kroger.
Oddly enough, we haven’t seen any mainstream media reporters ambushing unsuspecting Muslim bakers and demanding in McCarthyesque fashion, “Are you now, or have you ever been a homosexual hater?”
Could it be because, as Crowder notes in the video, “You’re still killed in virtually every Muslim country for being gay.”

He’s not the only merchant the woman can deal with.
That’s been my argument all along with the bakers and florists being targeted by the gaystapo.
Why doesn’t the judge throw this out because they can just go to the next line in the yellow pages?
Why is there no muslim backlash? Because its not about protecting gays, it never had been. It is about attacking Christianity.
The first step necessary to destroy an enemy is to demoralize him. With a strong and moral America standing in the way, there can never be a one world government. So America must be destroyed.
Christanity is the moral foundation of America. It is the long hair of Samson that is being shorn before our eyes.

I wonder if the Black owner was a Christian if that would trump their race. After all it really is a battle of ideologies.
For instance, no business is punished for turning down weird sex groups or so-called hate groups. But those groups are all legal. By lib reasoning, all businesses should be forced to work for the weird sex groups or the "hate" groups. No exceptions allowed.
I've read comments on various forums by homosexuals saying they're not a hate group. But the facts are they're considered a hate group by many people. They, libs, want it both ways...and I don't mean in just a sexual way.
Liberals hooking up with Strange Bedfellows, a total true observation and staement
That’s what I’m saying. I agree with you 100%.
More like, little old ladies won’t stomp you into a bloody pile on the pavement. Mess with bikers, they’re nowhere as restrained. . .
RE: I wonder if the Black owner was a Christian if that would trump their race.
I think it will. Just look at what happened to black NFL Hall of famer, the defensive tackling great, Reggie White.
He appeared in a newspaper advertising campaign to convince gays and lesbians that they could “cease” their homosexuality. As a result, CBS withdrew a five-year, $6-million contract for being a part of the pregame panel because of his statements calling homosexuality a sin.
Has anyone else actually watched the video? I was not impressed, one bit. Based on how the video was cut, it’s a bit difficult to tell what actually happened in the bakeries, the video does not contain a single instance of anyone at any of the bakeries saying that they refuse to provide a cake because it was for a same-sex wedding. At least one of the bakers shown appeared to be saying that they could not do photo cakes (something about not having a machine to do so). The others didn’t really say much at all. Sure, you can infer that they were refusing, but the video doesn’t actually show them doing so. If Crowder’s going to post undercover videos like this, he needs to make sure he gets the goods, so to speak.
Of course, there are plenty of straight couples that wouldn't want a politicized statement like that on their wedding cake (and plenty of same-sex couples that consider themselves "Christian," so wouldn't mind a cross/etc on their cake/bouquet/etc.)
They said no. I watched the video.
They weren’t emphatic about it. But they weren’t really sure what to say.
They didn’t want to out and out refuse. But a few of them said.. no. One pointed him to Kroger across the street.
Plus I’m sure there was an English/Muslim language barrier
I dont’ doubt that they said no, but the way this video is cut, it’s not clear why they were saying no (for example, the one who pointed him to the Kroger across the street seemed to be saying that they did not have the machine to make a photo cake).
My point is simply that, for a video like this to have an impact, it needs to show more than this one did.

well, Christian bakers can learn to respond in this low key way.
Just tell them they don’t do it and don’t say much at all.
LOL Excellent!
I don’t think Christian bakers should have to conceal their reasons like that. But, I suppose that doing so would avoid much of these controversies...
“I’m sorry, we already have a number of wedding cakes ordered for that weekend, and don’t have the capacity to bake another. I’m sure you wouldn’t want a rushed cake - why don’t you call [name of another baker] and see if they have availability?”
RE: I don’t think Christian bakers should have to conceal their reasons like that.
Me too. But given the fascist nature of those who would want to destroy their businesses, and if they want to avoid any publicity or controversy, they might have to learn from these Muslims.
However, saying: “I’m sorry, we already have a number of wedding cakes ordered for that weekend” when it isn’t true won’t give you an escape route.
A dodged gay person can always investigate whether or not what you say is true if they know that you are a devout Christian and wishes to target you.
The Memories Pizza shop is a good example. The reporter who interviewed the young lady KNEW that the owner was a church going Christian, and DELIBERATELY targeted the place to cause controversy and outrage.
COURAGE is what is needed and Christians of all stripes and people who value freedom should be willing to stand up to the fascist gays of this world and say “enough is enough”.
“A dodged gay person can always investigate whether or not what you say is true if they know that you are a devout Christian and wishes to target you.”
True - I guess that’s not the best excuse (they could obviously just have someone else call and ask for a cake for a straight wedding on the same date).
Even if a business is targeted, though, I think there are ways to refuse to serve same-sex weddings without “refusing to serve same-sex weddings.”
From what I’ve heard ANY male isn’t “Welcome” in the man-hating lesbo bars.
But the men could come in an approach the women with a “Hi, do you wanna dance . . .hug and squeeze me all thru the nite” lol
