If he knew you were coming for him, he would have baked a cake.

Mark Steyn wades in on the assault by the left on Christian bakers.
In Africa, the Middle East and South Asia, Christians are killed for their beliefs. In America, they're not (yet) being killed, just having their businesses destroyed. Be grateful for small mercies. But in both west and east the dominant ideology is not minded to brook dissent. Islam sells itself as a stern enforcer, and always has done.
