Well, Abdi-mabdi-doo, I'm NOT a Muslim and the laws of the US prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, creed, RELIGION, national origin, etc. IOW, find another line of work because there is nothing that says I have to allow YOUR problem to become MY problem!!

Well said.
What is 'Tierney by the minority'?
Yes, there are hypocrites here at FR.
Stand for something ,or you'll fall for anything,,Big difference between saving a posible child and this BS..
Sounds as though you're not aware of what a hypocrite is..
The City has more rights when it limits the number of cabs a city will license. Usually cab companies must obtain a certificate of public need in order to get licenses in the first place. Such licenses are valuable commodities and practically guarantee business health because Big Brother is watching your back. Not just anyone can set up business as a cab, particularly with the right to service the airport. (On the other hand, I don't think restaurants are so limited.) It's like broadcast stations: only so many are allowed in a market. Therefore they have something of a monopoly and must serve the public interest to retain that monopoly.
Someone else has indicated that the certificates of public need should be increased for each cab driver that elects to limit service and then mark the cabs that refuse to transport alcohol and let the market decide which cab drivers survive. I am a teetotaler myself but I would boycott such a cab were I to fly into such an airport. So let the market decide and stop limiting cab licenses where cab drivers refuse to serve the general public. Then watch them squeal as their business declines precipitously.
Ethanol - in the car. I think you have a point, but
I didn't know that. Thanks!
They are licensed by the state to provide a service in a public venue, not a private livery that must be reserved in advance. They also comprise 80% of the drivers who are allowed to service the airport.
If someone would start up a competing car service with English-speaking American drivers, clean cars and "Porky's" stenciled on the doors they could put these Moslems out of business.
