We are the Holy Communion people

My mother-in-law, Ann, has lived with me for the past fifteen years.

Michelle Obama doesn’t quite put it that way. But in a recent commencement address at a primarily black college, she expressed her revulsion:

Bake me a cake as fast as you can

A man walks into a bakery owned by two Muslim brothers.

He hands them the photo above and says, “I’d like you to bake me a cake just like this one.”

It is possible, even likely, that the Muslim bakers would decline the order for religious reasons.

Like Jews, Muslims refrain from consuming pork, considering it unclean.

Here is the question: would liberals and their allies in the mainstream media be aghast?
