It's a free country, you have the right to refuse service to anybody you want.
Alcohol isn't considered halal (like kosher) and dogs aren't clean. If a Muslim touches either, they can't pray until they wash themselves (much like the Old Testament book of Leviticus). I'm sure a Muslim wouldn't want his cab contaminated, and as a Muslim, I'd think twice about sitting on a seat where a dog drooled.
This isn't a matter of tolerance. Muslims aren't campaigning to ban alcohol, or stop you yourself from drinking. If you want tolerance, why aren't you tolerating how the Muslims feel, and respecting their freedom to choose their customers? Look, I understand the need for seeing-eye dogs, but there's dozens of cabs at these airports where the Muslims are, can't you take a different one? What's the difference?

I can understand them not wanting anyone to bring alcohol into the cab but the seeing eye dog should be an exception to even a rule about no dogs in the cab.
And who said the muslim religion is tolerant?

What's really so horrible here?... Not wanting to be around alcohol or dogs? Wow, they should be punished! Isn't it still technically illegal to have alcohol available to you as you drive if you're in a cab? Doesn't it still have to be in a trunk? ANYWAY, I suppose if there were more evangelical cab drivers they'd enjoy driving gays, and those who blasphem in their presence, right?

I am tierd of repeating this over and over.
Islam never said any thing about not pustting people in cabs if they have a dog or alcohol.
Some poeple are just crazy religious.
God doesn't love people who are like that.

Not every Muslim has that opinion. I am praying for you even though you are ignorant, now thats tolerance.

please for God sake dont mix the culture with religion. its cultural thing for some arabs and africans may be. and they are also act foolisly, as when they migrate to any country they should follow their culture. and dont force their own culture on them.
if they cant they should stay at their own country
