It's clear that by referencing Sharia law in the manner you do that you have absolutely no idea of what you're talking about but simply parroting something you heard ... probably on MSNBC

OK enough reasoning to take note......must not be too serious though Hollywood has not come forth yet.

The Indiana law differs substantially from the federal RFRA law signed by President Clinton and all other laws in other states. The Indiana law contains provisions that would rule in disputes between private citizens.

And in some states there are still laws on the books for illegally tying up your horse in front of a bank.

Ah that was yesterday's news pump.

This is factually incorrect. ALL of the other RFRA's (both the Federal one and ALL of the other state ones) are different from the Indiana law in one VERY important area. ALL of the previous RFRA's were specially written to be between individuals and government. The Indiana law contains a provision for the law to be applied between individuals.

The Indiana law differs substantially from the federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act, signed by President Clinton in 1993, and all other state RFRAs.

"There are several important differences in the Indiana bill but the most striking is Section 9. Under that section, a “person” (which under the law includes not only an individual but also any organization, partnership, LLC, corporation, company, firm, church, religious society, or other entity) whose “exercise of religion has been substantially burdened, or is likely to be substantially burdened” can use the law as “a claim or defense… regardless of whether the state or any other governmental entity is a party to the proceeding.”

Every other Religious Freedom Restoration Act applies to disputes between a person or entity and a government. Indiana’s is the only law that explicitly applies to disputes between private citizens. This means it could be used as a cudgel by corporations to justify discrimination against individuals that might otherwise be protected under law. Indiana trial lawyer Matt Anderson, discussing this difference, writes that the Indiana law is “more broadly written than its federal and state predecessors” and opens up “the path of least resistance among its species to have a court adjudicate it in a manner that could ultimately be used to discriminate…
” "

Would you mind sharing with us how you conclude the above.
The same logic that concludes an ice cream treat is a turd sandwich!
No words any longer are able to describe your interpretive process.......that being a compliment by the way.

Who exactly is going to buy your "conservative" products? I'm sure there won't be any women, African Americans, Asians, Hispanics, gays, lesbians, or any other minority(other than tea party bigots) that will spend a dime there. I believe your "conservative businesses" will make the new law a moot point. You see greed will win out. It always does with YOUR KIND!

Hey Chicken Little...19 states have similar laws and they're doing just fine! Cheer up! You're such an economic buzz-kill.

I saw it and am completely and totally underwhelmed with the insignificance of it. Whoa... a baker refuses to bake a cake for a homosexual wedding. Seriously, that's what's got your panties in a wad? A gay wedding cake?

Here's a suggestion for the homosexual couple: GO TO ANOTHER BAKERY! You know, one of the 10,000 others in town... grocery stores, bakeries, Costco, Sam's club, private citizens...

If the baker is super religious and his religion says no cakes for homosexuals, I don't see how it's fair to force the little baker guy to bake a cake he doesn't want to bake. It's not like there aren't a ton of other options here.
