Demanding some one else perform for you is to make them a slave.

This is like the quandry of what an environmentalist should do when they see an endangered animal eating an endangered plant...

I've got to go with "we reserve the right to refuse service to anyone."

Though I'm pretty sure liberals will find some way to blame this situation on Bush and or Palin.

It might be interesting if it asked for a razor cut.

Well, lets seek a compromise.

The lesbian wants a hair cut. The muslim does not want to give her one.

The muslim wants to stone the lesbian. The lesbian does not want to be stoned.

I say, we let each of them get their way. It is after all, a civil rights issue.

We will toss a coin to see who goes first.

Heads, the lesbian gets her hair cut, and then the muslim gets to stone her.

Tails, the muslim gets to stone her and then the lesbian gets her hair cut.

Sound fair to ya’ll?

Which side to support? Neither. Maybe they’ll fight it out. She was looking to start something. Most salons do men’s or women’s cuts.

Yes but have there been any cases of womens’ rights versus Muslim rights?

Would a ( devout ) Christian barber refuse to cut the hair of a lesbian ? I wouldn’t think so.

I often complain that rhetoric rules over reason, but even in the realm of rhetoric, this does not equate to the refusal of Christian baker to bake a gay wedding cake. Because presumably they would bake a birthday cake, a graduation cake, or other kinds of cakes for gay clientele, as it is not their personage which is under objection, but the act of participating in a ritual proscribed by their belief.

Maybe a fine point, but not so fine that I myself cannot appreciate it.

I thought “gotcha!” then I saw ‘Toronto’.

Damn.

Should be interesting to follow, though...

“Omar Mahrouk is the owner of the Terminal Barber Shop in Toronto. He follows Shariah law, so he thinks women have cooties.”

Frankly, as a woman I would never go into a barber shop owned by a Muslim man that follows Shariah law, and whose barbershop is named “Terminal”. And he has a scissors near my throat. Just sayin ...

The only person who could trump that would be a royal flush. If the late Sammy Davis Jr. — who was black, Jewish and half-blind — were to convert to Islam and discover he was 1/64th Aboriginal.

Forgot to throw in a sex change operation.

A dentist is only permitted to refuse treating an AIDS patient if the procedure that needs to be done is beyond the dentist’s “scope of expertise”. I personally know many general dentists who do not do extractions and always refer them to the oral surgeon. Many AIDS patients are medically complex and have other health issues as well. This dentist legitimately offered to treat this patient in a hospital setting. We know now that this situation was a set-up from a group of AIDS activists. Unfortunately, the judge sided with the patient and sentenced the dentist to perform FREE dental treatment for 50 HIV+ patients. Dentists are not exempt from treating patients with HIV or hepatitis in their private offices. “Universal precautions” for infection control are supposed to be in place to prevent transmission of disease, whether you know someone is infected with something or not.

Just another proof that liberalism is a religious cult of fools.
