I'm with the Muslims on this one. If they, for religious reasons, do not want to preform a service, fine. The other cabs, who will take people who have alcohol, will get the business of those people carrying alcohol. The colored lights will differentiate between the cabs that will carry those with alcohol and those that won't.

I see this as analogous to the pharmacist who, for religious reasons, will not fill a prescription for a morning after pill. The ones I have read about have a sign in the pharmacy saying they will not fill such prescription, people wishing to have a morning after pill filled can go to another pharmacy.

Then don't do something that's going to require a license :)

You don't have to be a pharmacist. Or a cab driver.

And Minnesotans should be reminded of this, so they can boycott any cab with such a light, regardless of whether they have alcohol or not.

We could take this even further. I'd like to see this blossom into an e-mail campaign like the "Boycot Citgo" one, in which all right-thinking Americans are encouraged to boycott the cabs designated with the said lights. I do not think I have ever carried alcohol to or from an airport, but I sure as heck not gonna ride in the cab of a muslim with a "no alcohol" sign. Eventually, the airports will tell them to get lost because they're holding up traffic.
