Imagine the international outcry if this were a Christian-owned bakery that refused to print Islamic messages on a cake. But no one will mind this.
“South Korean bakery chain with French name under fire after one store refuses to print non-Islamic messages on cake,” Coconuts Jakarta, November 22, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
South Korean bakery chain Tous les Jours has found itself in the middle of a religious discrimination scandal in Indonesia related to what one may or may not write on a cake.
Recently, a photo has gone viral on social media showing a sign — which appears to be hastily printed — put up at a Tous les Jours store in South Jakarta.
The sign conveys to customers that in order to guarantee that its products are halal (permissible for consumption by Muslims), the store will not write messages on cakes related to other religions’ holy days, such as Christmas and Chinese New Year (yep, that’s one too, apparently) or days that don’t adhere to Islamic teachings such as Halloween and Valentine’s Day.
The sign, however, says that the store accepts the printing of congratulatory messages for birthdays and promotions, as well as greetings that do not violate Islamic sharia values, such as “I love you” and “You’re the best.”
The reaction against Tous les Jours online has been brutal, to say the least.
I want to order a cake for Christmas with the message, “Hi Jesus, you’re the best, I love you.” Is that allowed?
Interesting. A South Korean bakery, selling European cakes with a French name, selling in Indonesia in accordance to sharia laws.
In a statement received by Coconuts today, Tous les Jours said that the sign was only put up at that particular store and does not represent the policy of the whole bakery chain…
Mischief Maker in the Land says
Please decorate a cake with:
“I have fabricated things against Allah and have
imputed to him words which he has not spoken.”
(Al Tabari, The History of Al-Tabari, vol. 6, p.111)
Angemon says
Little do they know birthdays are haram…
Brian Hoff says
Brithday cake are allow as long as there are no candles on the cake. There are many Muslim around world who hold brithday party for our prophet.

“There are many Muslim around world who hold brithday party for our prophet.”
And? There are Catholics who use birth control. Does that mean Catholicism teaches birth control?

First there is many level in Islam . Some Muslim donor eat any food make from pig bones like jello. The scholar tell me that part is ipinal.
Angemon says
“First there is many level in Islam ”
Read the fatwah. It reads:
not
“ome Muslim donor eat any food make from pig bones like jello.”
And some muslims drink alcohol. That some muslimsbreak islamic tenets doesn’t change said tenets…
“The scholar tell me that part is ipinal.”
I have no idea what that means.

Why should civilized Infidels care what is and is not allowed in Islam? Only because Muslims want to impose this *on us*.
Trick_or_Treat says
Excuse me, but you mean YOUR prophet! Kindly piss off with trying on your ‘our prophet’ bit here. The vast majority of us posting here know full well that this nefarious paedophile cretin was not even a prophet’s anal hair, and by en largé the wanker is not ‘OUR’ prophet.

Note that “Brian Hoff”–really, “DefenderofIslam”–has said that he and his fellow Muslims will destroy the Constitution and impose Shari’ah law on us when Muslims have sufficient numbers.

I guess it is hard to get excited about things like this when bombs are being set off and people terrorized. Everytime I go to the airport, I have to think of the time before radical extremism and how easy it was to board an airplane. My first trip to Europe, as far as I know, they did not have the complicated security checks.then but they do now. Of course it is all our fault. If only we had been peaceful and defended the rights of the oppressed and underdogs. But still, what difference does a cake decoration make, except as a sort of symbolic protest.

This is all of a piece, though–imposing Islam one way or another.
Niemoller says
Thus proving multiculturalism that includes Islam is merely a phase in the process of islamification (and degeneration) of what could have been a healthy society.

Islam makes a bakery go Coconuts Today. It figures.

Good news: courtesy pollution and rising sea levels, Jakarta is sinking, which is why Indonesia is exploring a new capital on Borneo. Hopefully Jakarta sinks quickly submerging this bakery w/ it

How about a Birthday cake for December 25th saying “HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESUS “?
Terry says
There are two famous quotes which convey the same message …….When In Rome do as the Romans do and 50 million Frenchmen can’t be wrong. In other words, the dog wags the tail not the other way around. So how come the faith of Islam practiced by the minority population in many countries dictates to the majority? American Corporations are guilty as charged too. Starbucks deferred Halloween Coffee specials in the US this year for the first time. Costco removed Polish Dogs from their counter service because it contains pork on the unconvincing premise that they are introducing healthier options. LOL. This movement against Christians is going to explode in their faces some day.

Indonesia: Bakery refuses to print non-Islamic messages on cake

………………
That this is a South Korean firm enforcing Shari’ah in Indonesia makes this all the worse.
