I would have the cab driver take me through McDonalds so I could order a Mcrib.

How about Denny's and spill the ham and eggs on his stinky lap.

What do muslims have against alcohol anyway? Are they afraid drinking will make them anti-social and violent?

As Tammy Bruce has said, it is their prohibition on alcohol that contributes greatly to Muslims' state of perpetual rage.

In the past few days (I know I am a slow learner) I have this dreaded feeling of the great religious war, with the Muslims trying to take over the world.

Don't listen to Savage then. Or you will see just how close we are to this.

"How is it that the Somalis murdered 19 of our brave soldiers, and we rewarded them by permitted so many of those vermin not only into America, but Middle American states like Minnesota. Muslims in Minnesota?"

Love it or leave it! These people need to leave our country.

Hi All-

Perhaps it was a situation where Bruce would not acknowledge Fernando's assertation that "pink is the new orange" this year and the dinner plates should match the hallway bathroom paint. That's when the violence starts!

And this violates into the "no-alcohol" rule how, exactly?

How about muscle bound spike embedded beasts with shaved heads wearing Nazi regalia?

Yes, them, and the speed freaks, and the smack junkies, and the raging alcoholics, and the pederasts, and the sadists/masochists, and the psychotic con-men/murderers, and the prostitutes (trannie and otherwise), and the prostitutes' low-life customers, and...

Why is this ANY different than the pharmacist who refuses to give the customer the morning after pill...or even the pill????? Can't wait to hear this one.

You are the third person on this thread to ask the question (I was almost the fourth). For some reason, this question is being completely avoided. I wonder why...

As I said previously, it is not uncommon for passengers to come out of the international arrivals terminal carrying sacks of adult beverages purchased at the duty free shop.

And as I have said many times before, Bud isn't really beer. :)

Or get in their cab and then immediately start talking about the baby back ribs you just had - describing them in great detail - which you washed down with a beer when you dined out with your girlfriend at Hooters!

LOL!

Just imagine the skinny little one shrieking "You BRUTE!" loud enough to be heard down the block, while hitting the other guy over the head with his purse . . .

Probably because it's a false analogy. If you can't draw a distinction between a Christian pharmicist who doesn't want to dispense abortificants, faces job loss and other persecution as a result, and the attempted islamification of taxi service at an American airport, you must be a cultural relativist.

The Sikh's, because of their turbans (the man never cuts his hair), are also often mistaken by ignorant people who think they are (1)Arabs or (2)Muslims; and they are neither.

The are a religious minority in any land, and they are found predominately in northern India where their religion began in the 16th century. Like all religious minorities they have often met discrimination in cultures where other faiths had dominance and intolerance.

Sorry. I do not agree with the Pharmacist, unless the pharmacy is (1)part of a hospital that is run by a religious denomination that opposes birth control, (2)run by a religious institution that opposes birth control, (3)run by a private outfit that accepts no public funds and has a policy that agrees with the pharmacist.

Outside of those (or similar examples) I do not see an employee replacing the policy of the pharmacy with their own, on the basis of their own religious principals. If a pharmacy dispenses birth control and a pharmicist opposes the dispensing of birth control on religious grounds, then they need to find a job with a pharmacy whose policy, and legal basis for application of said policy, agrees with the pharmacist.

I too do not like hypocrisy.
