I'm with you Monroe. If they want to pick and choose their customers, especially to decide whom to allow into an enclosed space with them where mayhem might occur unwitnessed, I'm all for choice---and each person seeing to his own personal safety. You can still choose not to get into a particular cab, and we should uphold the cabbie's right to decline a fare.
However, if I were in the city depending on cabs, I'd find myself a hand muff that looked like a Yorkie. Hoist the pooch and see who stops. :)
(It has the dual advantage of peeving PETA and Muslims.)
LOL! What an image!

Then cabbies should not be protected from competition as they are now.
Since the public has given them a franchise, they have an obligation to serve that same public without discrimination.
