FRmail me to be added or removed from this Judaic/pro-Israel/Russian Jewry ping list.

Warning! This is a high-volume ping list.

When customers call for a cab can they ask the company NOT to send a Muslim driver? Can riders refuse a Muslim driver? Will Muslim drivers also refuse fairs from homosexuals, Jews...? Where does it end?

If they won't transport passengers, pull their licenses.

" . . . and no driver losing business."

More and more, they are inflicting their beliefs on the people in this country. If I were at that airport, with or WITHOUT liquor, I'd go out of my way NOT to get into one of their crappy taxis.

This practice simply can't be legal. No one can just refuse to service customers just because the person has bought a legal product. Clearly discrimination.

For their part, the 16 cabbies lost income.

Oh boohoo. They should lose their licences.

More creeping Sharia from the Cult of Death.

The wife of a former head of the organization, for example, has explained that its goal is "to educate everyone about Islam and to follow the teachings of Islam with the hope of establishing an Islamic state."

Test cases. The know they can't take over by violent overthrow, so they do it this way. Well, I don't have to give them my business. This is getting way over the line. IMO, this is war.

d...rivers unwilling to carry alcohol could get a special color light on their car roofs, signaling their views to taxi starters and customers alike...

Perfect solution! Cabbies don't have to carry alcohol against their will and customers who prefer not to do business with Mo's kids have a convenient means to differentiate.

This is a Koran issue

oops - thought that the MuzziePigs said it was a "Korean issue" and that therefore they were concerned about drunk unruly Koreans that wanted to chop their heads off.

Nevermind. Move along people - nothing to see here :-)

This is absolutely ridiculous. Once upon a time a bus company didn't want to let black folks sit in the front of the bus if there were white passengers present -- we saw what happened there.

Any sort of signal that allows for discrimination when dealing with a legal transaction should be discouraged, if not banned. If you're a hack (in most areas) I'm pretty sure that there are strict conditions upon which you can refuse a fare, and this is not one of them. If they can't deal with the notion that Americans purchase and consume alcohol, then they should be driving cabs in a country that doesn't allow it.

Passengers at the airport should turn the tables on them -- they shouldn't ride in *any* taxi that has this light on it, even if they don't have alcohol among their belongings (which, last time I checked, was none of the driver's business anyway).

I drove a cab, and the behavior of these drivers in Minnesota is contrary to the entire cab business.

Half the trips out there are picking up or driving patrons to bars and homosexual hangouts, hauling Mr. Lush and his 2 cases of beer from the local beer distributor to his home for a weekend of serious drinking, transporting the blind with their guide dogs or transporting people with their pitbulls.

I don't see how these muslim drivers make any money, their business model seems defective. Being liberal (in the traditional sense) in what one will accept is essential in that business.

WITH THIS in mind, MAC proposed a pragmatic solution: drivers unwilling to carry alcohol could get a special color light on their car roofs, signaling their views to taxi starters and customers alike.

Good, I'll know who to avoid.

The right and proper solution is that any cab or hired car driver who refuses a fare loses his cab and his license, permanently!

End of problem!

I am also concerned that some of these brain washed muslim cabbies may have a suicidal tendency towards killing some of their fares. Very disturbing.

If there is to be a two-light solution, it should be used to shuttle the Sharia-compliant cabs back to the end of the line without inconveniencing the customer. The taxi-stand operator can determine (in a culturally sensitive way, of course) if the customer would be offensive to the poor wittle feewings of the Muslim taxi operator, and move that taxi along to the back of the queue if he thinks there might be a problem.

There is no way a taxi operator should be allowed to refuse one passenger and then pick up the next passenger in the line. We should not reward such obnoxious behavior, regardless of the motivation.

You just knew the Airport was going to knuckle under in this situation. Weak little dhimmi pansies, they are. I hope their chains rest lightly upon them.

Alternatively, the authority having jurisdiction could require taxis to pick up and transport all paying customers, and pull the license of those who don't, like everywhere else in the World. If it came down to losing a license, you would be amazed how quickly these meticulously observent Muslims will look the other way. It is only because accomodations have been made that the Airport now finds itself in this position.

If a white taxi driver provably refused to pick up an African American fare because of his race, he would lose his license so fast your head would spin, and rightly so. The same standard should be applied here.
