At the Minneapolis/Saint Paul airport since 2002 there are almost 5,000 REPORTED cases of passengers being refused service in cabs driven by Muslim drivers simply because they carred alcohol in their suitcases.
Evidently these drivers feel they have the right to question passengers about their personal effects. If they are not happy with the answers they refuse service which in winter or in the evening or night time, can be a terrible even dangerous thing.
I wonder how Muslim drivers will react if PASSENGERS start asking drivers before they get into a cab..."Are you Muslim?" and if THEY are not satisfied with the answer refuse to get in until they find a NON Muslim driver.
What do you suggest is a way to overcome this Muslim attempt to force their religious beliefs on the people of this coutnry that were kind enough to give them admission?

Do you think it would be fair to the passengers for NON Muslim drivers to have a sign mounted on the top of their car "I am NOT a Muslim and will gladly provide you the service you are entitled to in America."?

Answer to Farhat, The answer is YES! their mothers and fathers were granted the privilege of coming to this country like all the rest of our fathers and mothers and so SHOULD respect the nature of the country their ancestors came to which includes the privacy of individuals as to what they have in their suitcases if it is not of an illegal nature.

The Minneapolis/St.Paul airport refused to let Muslim taxi drivers do this. they will lose their ability to pick up passengers at the airport if they refuse pick-up now. What is funny is that Minnesota puts Ethanol in their gas so all the drivers are hauling around Alcohol every day without a complaint.

i fink there should be a compromise if there can ever be one but to you comment about "this country that were kind enough to give them admission" you talk about admission like all the muslims in america are from foriegn countries what about the muslims who were born in america are they lucky that they were given admission to be born in america?

This has nothing to do with Muslim and everything to do with fundamentalism--like the pharmacists who refuse to dispense birth control pills.
Religion teaches its adherents to be overly judgmental and intolerant.

That is stupid and they can ask any questions they want; if they don't want to answer the question don't ride in the cab.

Uh....sounds like crap to me. How do the cabbies know what's in the suitcases?
