[@user-sy3jn9gv9u]

Christians do though, they asked that from a Muslim bakery in Jordan, and the bakery faced a backlash like this one. Now the reason they asked a Christian bakery for this rather than a Muslim one, could be that Muslims are a much smaller population than Christians so they didn't find a Muslim bakery in their area, and Christianity is very vocal about love and acceptance, rather than their Sharia (Law) so that might have caused the person to misunderstand the situation and think they are accepted. Why would Muslims kill the person? it's a Christian country, Christians should be the ones killing as stated in the old & new testament.

This is a message for Jack. Isaiah 54:17 No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment you shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, And their righteousness is from Me,” Says the Lord.
