Do you believe that Muslim taxi cab drivers shouldn't allow people carrying alcohol in their cabs?

If the Muslim owns the cab, he can ban them if he wants, because (brace yourself for bizarre concept) it's his cab. If he works for someone else, it's between him and his employer, and his employer should not be forced into a decision in ither direction by the State because (brace yourself for bizarre concept) it's his cab company.

In a similar fashion, the government has no business telling a pharmacist to violate his religion. You're Jewish, IIRC...would you like the government to force you to eat a certain amount of pork each year?
