Exactly Christians should have atleast the same rights as muslims.But this couple would'nt have gone to a muslim printers because they know the answer they'd get and they'd probably accept it easier because they're muslim.

I don't think there are very many Muslim printers over here tbqh, I work in a business that deal with alot of printers around the country for the last 15 years and so far I haven't come across one

But let's say hypothetically that there was. And there will be at some point.... would it be wrong for him to refuse to print wedding invitations for a gay couple based on his strong religious beliefs, even though he'd served them with other things previously?

Of course it would. Why would I make an exception for Muslims?

Because there'd be a outcry! Lots of middle-class white people would be incensed you'd expected a Muslin to go against his beliefs!

I know you're right of course, there would probably alot of people defending Muslims that condemn Christians for the same thing, of course you'd also have the other extreme of people taking a harder pop because they're Muslims as well. For me personally, I would feel the same no matter what religion it was, discrimination is discrimination

I've played Devil's Advocate for much of this thread... of course if you're offering a service you have to be willing to offer a full service to everyone. When I lived in London I had a corner shop run by a Muslim who sold alcohol and ham...
