This looks like a real business opportunity for some enterprising Christian.

That’s okay, because if I see somebody on the side of the road hitch-hiking that has Muslim dress, I won’t pick them up.

> “We are not comfortable carrying alcohol but they force us,” said Abdi Barir, a 24-year-old immigrant who operates an airport taxi. “It really bothers me but I don’t want to lose my job,” Barir said. afp

The answer to this is obvious: if you don’t want to be inconvenienced like this, ask your cabbie if they are Muslim or Somali: if so, save them some time and embarrassment: decline the ride...

...oops! That’s “Prejudice”!

I can’t wait to see what happens when those cabs start using ethanol and butanol as fuel. :)

Fleet vehicles would be the first to conform. I guess they walk?

Passenger: Excuse me cabbie, I don’t have any booze on me but can you drive me to JFK and, by the way, all that padding is just my suicide belt.

Cabbie: no problem brother, will payment be by cash, charge or heavenly virgins.

Naw, show them them the booze a block away from your destination. If they refuse to continue on, I don’t see how they can charge you.

"Whether it is Minnesota cab drivers refusing passengers who are carrying alcohol or students in Maine frightened and offended by a ham sandwich, Im constantly amazed at both the audacity of these new immigrants and the gullibility of well-meaning Americans who zealously fall all over themselves in these futile and pathetic attempts to appease.

Aided and abbetted by liberal politicians and quisling propagandists, the effrontery and supposed indignity of these reprobates is not founded in any religious doctrine. It is founded in their desire to recreate America into a sick parody of their own home countries, or as it is in many cases, simply to achive "victimhood" ($$$).

Claiming that the "close proximity" to either alcohol or pork violates the tenets of their religion is nothing more than cleverly crafted subterfuge with the sole intent of striking it big in the litigation lottery."

If you can’t stand the sight of blood, then you just can’t be a surgeon. If the sight of blood is somehow against your religious beliefs, then you just can’t be a surgeon.

In this case, if they can’t be around alcohol, then they just can’t fulfill the job requirements, that’s all.

If you can’t stand the sight of the vagina, then you can’t be a gynecologist.

If you can’t stand heavy traffic, then you can’t be an over the road long haul truck driver.

There are just so many jobs where if you can’t tolerate the job environment, then that job can’t accomodate you.

Why is a cab driving job, in which you can’t discriminate, any different than other service jobs where you have to accomodate the general public?

Most were able to get another taxi, but scores were left standing at the curb or unceremoniously dumped on city streets when the cabbies found out, mid-ride, that there was booze in their baggage.

Any cabbie who pulls a stunt like this should be unceremoniously dumped out of his job.

With the Muslims though this crap about "being near alcohol" is an absolute lie and like I said they are only pushing to see how far they can go ~ sadly, the more they push the more the USA has been yielding.
