Christian Bakers Who Refused Cake Order For Gay Wedding Forced To Close Shop
The left has one overriding passion: to destroy the nuclear family.
In place of the family, the left wants government, totalitarian government dressed up as a “people’s democracy.”
The move to redefine marriage is also a direct assault on religious traditions.
Once you understand that everything the left believes and does is designed to undermine traditional religion and the family unit, you begin to comprehend the grim social engineering that is the core of leftism.
Gay marriage does not end with legalizing gay marriage. That’s where destroying the family and the traditional religious community begins. And the battle to destroy the family is, ultimately, a religious battle, as the story of the persecuted Christian bakers illustrates.
The next step is obvious. A Jewish homosexual couple will ask an Orthodox rabbi to perform their wedding. The rabbi will refuse and he will be sued for discrimination, and then hounded and persecuted by those who claim the mantle of tolerance.
Such is the fate of religious and economic liberty in the face of liberal fascism.

Gay Marriage: Gateway for Polygamy
Regarding gay marriage, really a redefinition of marriage: the ideological lines in American religious communities are pretty much what you would expect. Orthodox Jews are overwhelmingly opposed, Conservative (not a political designation) and Reform Jews are mostly in favor. Seraphic Secret is not as familiar with the multiple and varied Christian communities but we assume the same dividing lines exist with the more liberal churches in favor and the more traditional churches opposed.
But we have not heard much from the usually outspoken American Muslim community. One would assume that pious Muslims would be quite vocal in their opposition for traditional Islam has a clear stance against homosexuality.
Europe’s Suicide via Islam
Here’s a brilliant essay by Bat Ye’or on the Islamization of Europe, a self-inflicted wound growing out of Europe’s willfull ignorance of imperialist Islamic theology, the abandonment of Christianity, and a craven dhimmitude to petro-rich genocidal-yearning Islamist fascists.
Originally published by the New English Review, I’m posting the entire article because it’s that important.
In January 1981 the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) Summit meeting in Mecca declared that, “Palestine should be viewed as the paramount issue of Muslim nations.” Since then Europe hastened to adopt this path as well and has provided for the Palestinization of the cultural, social and above all political life of Europe.
For three decades, Europe obeyed the OIC in a servile manner. The EU has effectively created a major problem for itself that is eating away and destroying it. The EU made Palestine the hub of its international policy, transforming it into a symbol of peace and universal harmony, in a world that would not know “justice” until its coming. The only obstacle to this paradise is the Machiavellian Israel, the oppressor and usurper of Palestine, whose purity as a peaceful victim is the harbinger of global justice.
Europe does not yet dare use armed force against Israel, whose existence it claims to defend, while advising it to commit suicide. Europe fights Israel with the infamous Nazi weapons by delegitimizing its existence, robbing it of its history, defaming it by propaganda, hatred and attempts to destroy its economy through boycotts, divestment and sanctions (BDS). Toward this goal it encourages an international campaign of incitement to hatred by financing anti-Israel NGOs and lobbies. Europe claims that Jewish existence in its ancestral homeland, Judea and Samaria, is an “occupation” – a colonization. In this way, Israel has become a state that is occupying its own historical homeland. In Orwellian language propagandists speak of “the Israeli occupation of Palestinian land” that is called Judea, and not of the ethnic and religious cleansing of Jews from their homeland through wars, expulsions, dispossession and the dehumanizing apartheid rule of dhimmitude. Euro-jihadists invoke “Palestinian resistance” rather than the reality of their terrorism that has spread throughout the planet. The EU has used every stratagem to force Israel to self-destruct in the name of Palestine. That destruction would lead to an era of “justice and peace” in the world in the same way the charnel houses of Auschwitz were meant to purify humanity from Jews.
