"MINNEAPOLIS - Officials at Minneapolis-St. Paul International airport are proposing stiffer penalties — including suspension of an airport taxi license — to Muslim cab drivers who refuse service to passengers toting alcohol or service dogs." http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/muslim_cabbies_alcohol
Heres the issue: Whether Muslim cabbies should be allowed to impose their religious sensiblities on other people.
Notice, the issue deals with the conduct of OTHERS. Muslims are not themslves refusing to drink beers or own dogs. Instead, Muslims working in service related fields, that service the general public, are imposing their religious views on others.
Whats even more insane, is the fact that generally speaking, we appluad people who chose to take taxi cabs when they drink. It is to the benefit of society that we ENCOURAGE this choice.
Isnt this just another example of reality that, Islam, in its many faces, creates an intolerant people who try to IMPOSE their beliefs on others?
