Did muslim bakerys refuse to make gay wedding cakes

Video points to media double standard

Example of Media Bias:

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 last week showing employees at several Muslim-owned bakeries in Dearborn, Michigan, weakening his business or referring him to other shops when he asked for a wedding cake with the communication “Ben and Steven forever.”

Crowder’s video makes the point that Christian-owned shops acquire been targeted for legal action and derision for refusing to serve queer weddings even as gay-rights activists and media outlets discount business owners of other faiths recognizable 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.

Muslims featured in YouTube video say it falsely portrays them

DEARBORN — A YouTube video featuring Dearborn-based Muslim-owned bakeries is attracting national attention and has received more than 2 million views.

The video, “Hidden CAM: Gay Wedding Cakes at Muslim Bakeries?” was made by comedian, thespian and former Fox News contributor Steven Crowder.

It has upset some Muslims who appeared in it, and who say Crowder’s claims are not true and that he falsely portrayed them.

In the video, Crowder is seen visiting three Muslim-owned bakeries and claiming that all three refused to take the command for a gay couple’s wedding cake.

The video was posted after Indiana’s highly contested “Religious Freedom” bill was approved by a vote of 40-10 on March 26. Opponents of that law argue that it legalizes discrimination based on sexual orientation.

Indiana’s Religious Freedom Restoration Act could allow businesses to reject service to customers who are gay.

Similar legislation has been introduced in other states, but Gov. Snyder has said he would vet

A YouTube video that has gone viral shows an actor/comedian going to three Dearborn-based Muslim-owned bakeries, which supposedly refuse to make him a custom-made gay wedding cake.

The Arab American News notes that the video was posted after Indiana's "Religious Freedom" bill was approved on Protest 26.

Crowder says the point of the video was to show while so many have attacked the conservative Christians, no one has really focused on the discrimination against gays by Muslims.

Colorado wedding cake case: Kennedy’s opinion key
On December 5, 2017, the Supreme Court heard oral argument in Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission, in which baker (self-described cake artist) Jack Phillips, owner of Masterpiece Cakeshop, asked the court to decide “whether applying Colorado’s public accommodations law to compel artists to create expression that violates their sincerely held religious beliefs about marriage violates the Free Speech or Free Exercise Clauses of the First Amendment.”
Phillips appealed the ruling by the Colorado Court of Appeals that he violated the public accommodations provision of the Colorado Antidiscrimination Act (CADA), which prohibits discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, when, citing his religious values about marriage, he declined to bake a cake to celebrate the wedding of Charlie Craig and David Mullins. The Colorado court held that denying Phillips an exemption from CADA did not violate his First Amendment rights. CADA, the court concluded, “creates a hospitable environment for all consumers,” which “prevents the economic and social balkan

An Australian lawmaker has caused controversy after saying that Jewish and Musim bakers should be allowed to deny the sale of wedding cakes to followers of the other faith.
Keith Andrews, a lawmaker for the conservative Liberal party and former minister, is a staunch opponent of gay marriage and on Wednesday made the point that bakers should have the right to contradict the sale of their cakes to anyone they appreciate based on their beliefs.
He said at the heart of his point was that the "conscientious, religious belief" of a baker is what should justify their decision-making.
By his logic, Muslim bakers should be allowed to deny Jewish customers a wedding cake because it would be used in another religious ceremony. He said the same would stand for a Jewish baker who wished to oppose service to a Muslim customer for their wedding.
Andrews said that a homosexual baker should be allowed to decline a straight customer a wedding cake, and vice versa. The host of the Sky News show David Speers then asked Andrews if a Jewish baker should be allowed to decline a Muslim customer, to which he replied: "Yep, why not?"
He added: "And vice versa, it has to be consistent."
He clarified that he was only r
