THANKS AGAIN, DHIMMISOTA!
Uh, no, Mr. Muslime, it is a FAIRNESS issue.
And you and your kind will not come in to this country and undo what generations of TRUE AMERICANS have strived for and created TOGETHER - a free and equal society (Equal rights for all, special privilages for none - Thomas Jefferson) - where you do not discriminate against others based on their not being Islamic.
Your cabbie friends will have to treat everyone equally. Sorry. We all know how you Muslimes like special treatment.
I SUGGEST YOU ALL GO BACK TO WHERE YOU BELONG - SEGREGATED ISLAMIC SOCIETIES - BECAUSE THIS COUNTRY WILL NEVER BE ONE.

Muslim cabbies tell airport they won't bend in alcohol disputePATRICK CONDON Associated Press Posted on Tue, Feb. 27, 2007
BLOOMINGTON, Minn. - For Abdi Mohamed, it's not a question of whether he'll carry passengers with alcohol in his cab. The question is whether he'll get punished for refusing to do so.
"I am Muslim. I'm not going to carry alcohol," Mohamed, a driver for Bloomington Cab, told a Metropolitan Airports Commission panel that gathered public opinion Tuesday regarding proposed penalties for cabbies who refuse service to passengers carrying alcohol.
Dozens of cab drivers showed up for the hearing at a hotel near the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. Commissioners are charged with setting a new policy by May, when airport licenses for cab drivers are set to expire. Under the proposal, drivers who refuse service for any reason would have their license suspended for 30 days. A second refusal would mean a two-year revocation of the license.

Abdifatah Abdi, who said he is counseling cabdrivers on legal issues related to the controversy, warned commissioners that instituting the penalty would set off a long legal battle.
"This is a religious freedom issue, and it will not end here," Abdi said. "It will go to the courts, even the Supreme Court. The drivers will not relinquish their rights to be protected under American law."
