Gay cake couple lose discrimination case

[Pokster]

Yes, I look forward to the first Muslim printer prosecuted for refusing to print cartoons of Muhammed.

They objected to Gay marriage, in your scenario they would have refused to make a cake if someone had asked for a joke about Christianity... so basically, you using Muslims and Muhammed has nothing to do with this case

The point is, if we agree (which we should) that a muslim printer should be allowed to refuse to publish cartoons of Muhammed, then we should also agree that this christian couple should be allowed to refuse to make a cake endorsing gay marriage.

Hang on, so you don't think a muslim printer should be allowed to refuse to print a copy of the bible?

What about if the customer wanting the bible was also muslim?

No, I don't think a muslim printer should be allowed to refuse to print a copy of the bible, because it is discrimination. Tha same as the cake couple shouldn't be allowed to refuse to make a cake for a gay couple.

If either the printer or cake customer was trying to cause offence on purpose then the company has the right to refuse imo

Why not have a whip round and do a test case? Find a particularly religious Muslim printer and ask them to do those Danish cartoons?

The more pertinent point here is whether this case would ever have been brought against a muslim baker who'd made a similar refusal.

I can fûcking well guarantee you that it would not.

If you take a case against a Muslim, you're racist.
You back Asher's in this situation, you're homophobic.

Edit- I suppose it's actually Sectarianism.

Well if we take the Rotherham case as a guide, anyone attempting to prosecute a muslim in this situation would have been ignored by the Police and CPS and, had they continued to press, would have been threatened by the Police with a charge of Inciting Racial and Religious Hatred.

Shall we give it it a go then?
