Remember the last time you saw somebody carrying a six-pack or box of Franzia off the plane? Me neither.
WTF country do we live in? Show a cross you must take it down. Object to alcohol we must respect your religion.
So, Muslims cab drivers have the right to discriminate???
What would happen if someone REFUSED service to a Muslim...ah...we all know. All hell would break loose.

Seeing if the link works this way.
I own rental property. In the future, I am going to refuse to rent to gays - it is against my "religious choices." Let all hell break loose. I want to see this taken to the Supreme Court, if necessary.
Checking with mod to see if the link posted this way is kosher, or not.
IF the muzzie mark thier cabs, makes it easy for you to find another ride - right?

Forgot to add this: I will put different colored porch lights on my rental homes. That will make it O.K., according to the Minneapolis airport officials.
Refuse to take a cab with a Muslim driver. Then see what hits the fan.
To post a link when you put up a thread, just paste the link into that box for "Source URL." It automatically turns into a hot link.
Though we already know the decision.
You as a white Christian/Jew cannot discriminate but if you are any other religion you win!
I see the message you're trying to communicate, but in reality having a bunch of poofters prancing around your rental property is likely more profitable for you. They won't drink beer and start wrestling to impress the girls...smashing furniture in the process. They'll probably just drink wine, quietly talk about new fashions, and then return your rental home in perfectly clean condition after a week or two. I wouldn't sweat it too much.

What's the downside of having a Muslim taxi driver? Except, of course...
"Thanks for the lift! Take me to 4th and Main."
"I'll do even better. Today, we're going all the way to Allah!"
A passenger who is denied a ride because they were carrying a bottle of wine should sue on the basis that their rights were denied; they were discriminated against based on religion, someone else's religion.
Muslims who do not want to encounter people who might be carrying an alcoholic beverage should take an occupation in which such encounters are not likely. Our society does not owe them some inherent right to be cab driver.
Can you imagine an Amish person demanding the authorities provide horse and buggy cabs, because automobile taxis discriminate against their beliefs. The Amish would not think of making such a demand. They know that the limitations imposed by their faith are their responsibility to make adjustments for, not the other way around.
Cabbies might have the right to refuse a fare based on safety concerns, but not religious concerns. That issue is settled, as far as I can recall.
I hope somebody has the courage and the money to take this one to court.
I like forcing the bigots to use lights. It's good to know your enemies.
