I'm not sure I agree. Seems like the whole thing ought to be sorted out by the market.

The problem with that idea is the local market may become dominated by Muslims and only strengthen the Muslims cabbies religious beliefs.

I am leery of having religious issues solved by ordinances.

The goal of Islam is to do have ordinances based on religous issues by ultimately enforcing Sharia Law. To them religion is the state. The proposed ordinance prevents that from happening.

Islam in general and Sharia Law specifically seem incompatible with our Constitution. But allowing cab drivers to make poor economic decisions based on their own conviction is not the same as enforcing Sharai Law.
