I refuse to ride in cabs driven by Muslims or Arabs.

BS!!! They should have done this in the beginning. SEND THESE IDIOTS BACK TO SOMALIA! They do not belong in America.

Is there alcohol in the gas they use?

Given the "social polarization" and intolerance among some in the country, he said, the "cards are stacked" against the drivers.

Oh, the irony!

Three things...

Why are Muslims in control of vehicles (taxis) around an AIRPORT.. Car bombs being the favored weapon of choice by these bastards -- isn't that a oversight by Homeland Security, and being dangerously P.C.?

Any cab driver refusing to transport a legitimate customer - regardless of what is in their baggage - should lose their taxi license and be banned from the airport.

Almost every dog I've known, has been cleaner, more faithful, loyal and reliable than most Muslims I've known...

Semper Fi

Let's turn the argument of the drivers around and see if it still floats ... let's say that a large number of the travelling public, oh ... perhaps mainly white males? ... started refusing to accept a cab ride from a muslim driver or a black driver or a female driver. Instead they wnt to the next cab in line and chose a white driver. What would the reaction be? /rhetorical

Coming from the most intolerant people on earth.

Muslim cab drivers at Minnesota's biggest airport are facing a possible crackdown for refusing to give rides to travelers carrying liquor or accompanied by dogs, an official said on Wednesday.

Cabs are “Public Accommodation” the same as restaurants and hotels. Since the Civil Rights Act they can not refuse service to any paying customer.

If they really want to take Islam to this extreme than they should never fill up from a pump with this sign...

[mrmargaritaville]

how is refusing to take passengers with service dogs NOT a violation of the Amercian with Disabilities act-anyone other than a protected class-like moooslums would have their collective a$$es slammed for this.

Under the proposal -- which is also aimed at drivers who refuse to take short-haul passengers in favor of more lucrative long trips

This happened to me last year when I had to go to San Francisco to our corporate office for a few days at the end of a home leave.

Weather had delayed the flight for several hours and I dragged into SFO after 1 a.m., worn out and loaded with luggage that I was taking back overseas in a few days. My hotel was near the airport and this slimebag was the only cab driver there. He refused me because it was too short a trip (it was certainly not in walking distance). I finally insisted and he grudgingly let me get in the cab, but was uttering a stream of cusswords in Arabic.

I said "I live and work in the Middle East and I KNOW what you're saying. I don't appreciate being called a 'sharmouda,' for one."

He FREAKED and apologized over and over and begged me not to report him. I didn't...but I decided not to tip him so much as a dime, either, when my intent had been to be generous in that respect.

I'm not crazy about this practice, but this is none of Government's business. It's their business, if they want to lose money this way, so be it. There are other cabs to take people places. Let the market take care of it.

If this were a Christian refusing to drive a woman to an abortion clinic, all of us, including myself, would be supporting his right to do so, and saying he's brave for standing up for his beliefs.

Let them drive cabs in Mogudishu if they think they have it bad surrounded by us infidels.

[Zeroisanumber]

I don't think that the MAC needs to impose a suspension, just make it a policy that a cabbie refusing a fare has to head to the back of the cab line. I guarantee you that the problem will be solved in no time.

[tkathy]

Gasahol in their gas would produce fumes that they would inhale? OMG!

[Dick Vomer]

How about cracking down with 1/2 pound of C-4...

[Musket]

I have a sneaky suspicion that the Taxicab industry has been wholly taken over by foreigners. Someone should try this experiment - apply on-line for a driver position using an American sounding name, then apply for the same job using a different email address and a made up middle eastern or Somali sounding name and see which one gets results.

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

When riding a cab, offer some of your ham sandwich to the driver. Talk about your dog.

Listen up! I'm disgusted by people who are "offended" by alcohol but who go to religious services and learn how to cut heads off while they chant religious ditties and call on a false deity!

Enough with this garbage!
