Gee, does that mean we should start getting use to the idea of honor killings?
Take Islamic law and stick it up your A##.
MN ping!
Does that mean we need to kill those who won't convert? Do we stone to death adulterous women? Do we destroy Israel?
It's easy, put your alcohol in your bags, take the taxi, and when you reach your dstination, as he hands you your bags, say "Careful with that one, I've got 3 bottles of scotch in it." ;-)
Gee, I don't like to ride in cabs with drivers who haven't bathed in several years, who smell like horse-sh*t on a hot day, whose cab has incense burning and a fresh chicken's head on the dash. I don't like drivers who mutter in arabic, haven't shaved their nose hair since birth, smell like camel dung, and can't speak english.
"It could become a national model for accommodating Islam in areas ranging from housing to contractual arrangements to the workplace."
This would effectively put the Sharia above the Constitution and create a catagory of rights whereby one must accomodate any Muslim fatwa that some imam decides is appropriate according to his intrepretation of Islamic law..
I don't care that Sharia applies to divorce, custody and inheritance arrangements.
When it begins to impact on the public sphere, that's where the line needs to be drawn.
Thanks for this article. It was extremely interesting. Some actual journalism from the MSM for a change.
I wonder how much of this goes on all over the West. Europe is probably full of these Muslim brotherhood types, pretending to be respectable muslim organisations. In Europe they are also probably state funded.
Thanks for the post.
Cheers.
Nope. I learned all I needed to know about that islamic crap on Sept 11, 2001.
That's why the proposed two-tier system for airport cabdrivers is important...
Nope, not the least bit important to me or any other American patriot. We don't have "two-tiered" treatment. (Oh wait. I forgot about that "Affirmative Action" crap. Oh, well.)
You idiots forget that this is the land of opportunity? Equal opportunity?
It could become a national model for accommodating Islam...
Nope.
Once again, just in case you weren't listening - No accomodations for islam or any of the nut-cases involved in it or with it.
This is a nation founded on the tenets of the Christian religion, which, even with all it's warts and blemishs, provides for a much more "accomodating" attitude than your sharia crap ever will or can.
We are an "accomodating" people in the first place,since we recognize that one has the right to refuse service to those (well, usually we do) whom they do not wish to serve and that equally, one has the right to not seek nor use the service another provides.
One cannot be forced to the other.
(Ya hear that, Natalie? Barbra? Madonna? Just shut your stinking mouths and sing. You too, Michael J. Fox, George Clooney, just shut up with the politicizing and grandstanding and just act. Well, assuming you could in the first place, of course.)
Islam in America ping
Disgusting people who think that alcohol is bad but cutting off heads is GOOD!
Dumbfounded that anyone is even entertaining this crap.
Lemmings marching towards Dhimmitude.
Works for me.
This is absurd. If you're going to be in the Taxi business, you don't get all stupid about what articles they might have with them. Anybody so inclined needs to find another line of work.
Instead of just scrolling past them all, please take a moment to click the applicable state(s) on the Topics screen when posting news of particular interest to people in that state.

ALARM BELLS!! Here we go. No effort by the immigrants to assimilate. We have to accomodate them. INS should require all people seeking entry to the U.S. to sign an oath that the immigrant will assimilate, learn English, learn our culture and leave the old world behind. If they refuse to sign, they are denied entry.
The constitution says nothing about accomodating religion - although it does have that pesky phrase about freedom of religion, and the whole free exercise thing. But that, of course, is a private matter, affecting only the individual believer and his or her place of worship.
Note to the idiot cabby: We don't need to accommodate your religion when you take a job that (potentially) conflicts with it. You need to quit your job if your religion says you can't perform a significant part of your duties.
That's not intolerance. That's reality and self-reliance. After all, you now claim that someone else has the ability to imperil your soul because they carry a legal substance into the cab you are paid to drive. What a poor religion, if you can be condemned to eternal damnation because Chivas regal once sat in your back seat.
Oh - and can you identify the "society" the excerpt talks about. I'd prefer not to give the Start Tribune webiste the hits.
Thanks!!!
Accomodating Islam? Over my dead body, and that's probably how it'll have to happen.
