Muslim Cab Drivers Who Don’t Pick Up Passengers Toting Alcohol Should Be Fired

Bottom Line: We are at war with Islamists. Are we going to let them get away with imposing their religon on us in our homeland?

I am.

But, this is still a little different. When I step out of the airport terminal, I have to take the first cab in the line. I don’t have to take the first pharmacist that walks up to the window, not the first drugstore on the block.

I have one question as a “devil’s advocate”: How many of those in favor of firing these muslims are in favor of firing pharmacists that will not fill scripts for birth control or Day After pills?

Mmmmmm, bacon.

Here’s a tip for all muslims: have your dollar bills tested for pork products.

I’m willing to bet that not everyone that eats pork washes their hands.
Matter of fact, I’m gonna make myself a bacon sandwich right now, then run my fingers through all of my cash. That cash will sit in a cash register infecting all of the other cash, getting on the clerks hands and infecting everything they touch.

Still willing to handle money? I will pray for your soul. Kin I have your virgins?

Here in Minneapolis, I’ve been aware of this issue for a while. My wife works in an insurance company, and one of the sister companies handles cab auto insurrance. It seems that overwhelmingly the the drivers are Muslim. Yes, they do have laws against alchohol in the Koran, but as reported by other Muslims, these laws are not being broken by them in the process of feeding their families.

the other part of the issue is the dogs. That is not Koranic. That is an locality based phobia. In the MidEast, dogs are considered vermin. At this point, it becomes a “prejudice”. They are not sinning by carrying dogs.

So, this is a government regulated industry. The people being picked up at the airport are obliged to take the first cab in the line. They are not allowed to choose the second cab. The cabbi is allowed to reject the fare (currently) and is then forced to move to the end of the line (going around and getting back in). What happens when you arrive and go out to take a cab and find that they are all Muslim cab drivers and are rejected by all of them? Can the insurrance program reject the cabbis simply because they are Muslim? Can the Airlines? All are gov’t regulated, so why do the cabbi’s get the option and not the rest? It’s against my religion to be flown into a skyscraper in the name of someone else’s god.

Truth is, the number of Muslim cab drivers in Mpls-St. Paul is well over 75%. They are licensed for use by the public by the state, therefor all of the public has a right to use them. Where safety issues are concerned, I would expect that they would be allowed to reject a fare, but on their own prejudice I would expect that their license would be revoked just as it should when they refuse to pick up a person because of their race, religion, sex or ethnic origin.

Oh, one more realistic option. Unescorted women. What happens when the Muslim drivers decide that the Wahabbism version is correct and they refuse to accept fares from unescorted women… late at night? Do they leave them to hail another 20 cabs hoping for a fare? And as long as we are on the religious freedom issue, they kill unescorted women in Saudi Arabia in the name of religion. Do we or don’t we need a bit of restriction when one’s religion affects others detrimentally?

I always carry a package of oscar mayer bacon with me. If I am not treated with the respect I deserve from a mulame cabby, I leave him a strip of bacon for a tip.

Another case of RPR omitting important facts. The cabbies already have the “right” to refuse service to anybody and everybody just by not working at all. What these cabbies are doing is getting in line at the busiest cabstand in the twin cities and demanding the right to pick and choose fares without penalty. The regular rule is that when you get to the head of the line, you take the next customer or go to the end of the line. depending on circumstances, a cabbie might actually do better to go to the end of the line and hold out for what he thinks will be a more lucrative fare (a fat cat on an expense acct. vs. grandma who will need her luggage carried up three flights and no tip.)
These cabbies are welcome to refuse a customer for any reason at all as long as they go to the end of the line. How they made news is by demanding a pass on the standing rule due to their religious preferences.
The simple solution is to just enforce the existing rule.

Mr. Reyes:

After that last comment I will pray for your soul. God help you.

Agreed RPR. Busy-body by-laws may be irksome but fatwas are an affront of the first water. Those who think they have a right to order the death of another particularly over such a trivial issue, deserve to get what they give.

From the AP:

“Last year, the airports commission received a fatwa, or religious edict, from the Minnesota chapter of the Muslim American Society saying “Islamic jurisprudence” prohibits taxi drivers from carrying passengers with alcohol, “because it involves cooperating in sin according to Islam.”

And I guess it’s not a sin to leave a blind person stranded at the airport because he has a guide dog?

We should let the Muslims know what we think of their fatwas!

I am indeed grateful that the editor gives me a platform to express my views, however controversial they may be.

And we thank you for admitting your bigotry. It’s very big of you, and a bold move too, considering that it makes it that much easier to dismiss your rantings on the subject as a product of your festering hatred.

Of course, unlike your god buddies on the left, we here on the right believe in giving you a big soapbox to preach on. If for no other reason than we know where you are, what you are up to, and can use you as a terrible warning.

Thanks for being such a good sport about it, eh wot?

I am against all organized monotheistic religions — they are a blight on humankind. Some religions are worse than others, Islam is at the bottom of the barrel.

I’m for freedom – freedom from the followers of the Moon God  pushing their vile religion on us.
