I could see this being a problem in a city where you depend on cabs to go shopping. Put your alcohol in a nondescript container, and they will never know what you got. What do they do, search your belongings?

This is a bit on the rediculous meter.

Sure, we can start acting like shoplifters, hiding our "stolen" goods for fear they'll be discovered, and worried of the consequences.

The questions is what will you do when they won't approve of the clothes worn by the girl who's with you; what then? carry a burka for just in case?

Sounds like a free country, doesn't it?

Yep technically it would be safer. If alchohol wasn't manufactured I guess you will see statistics all across the board lower as far as fatalities go.

So, what will happen when they ban pork meat in their cab, or demand women put on a burka? Should we accept that as well, since it would be "better" anyway?

(btw, I'm not getting into an argument about alcohol consumption, since just saying that banning it would make everything a lot better is a gross oversimplification)

Ye, hwat if I had just eaten a hot dog that was made of pork? And to top it off, I had a beer with it... can I still get a cab?

LOL, take your bottle of wine, chug it down and then get in the cab.

The simple solution is to cancel the licenses of these morons. They are duty bound to carry any passenger and his/her goods. Should a Hindu driver refuse a passenger carrying a Big Mac because it's got beef and it's against his religion? The license is a privilege, not a right.

Muslims are wretched ingrates. They have a penchant for biting the hand that feeds them. 9/11 was hatched in Germany. Muzzies born and brought up in the UK bombed the tube. And the place these drivers come from, Somalia, is a basket case with no food (pics of babies with ribs sticking out adorn the daily news from Somalia) land they should be eternally grateful to the generosity of the U.S. to have let them in and make a new life.

I think the Dutch got it right when they required potential muslim immigrants to undergo sensitivity training by watching topless women and the like (though I imagine they would have been tittilated rather than offended). Even better would be to ban muslims from entering the country.

Upon reading the article further, I am shaking my head in disbelief that someone is even trying to reason with these morons. I hope someone sues the Airport and gets them to straighten these medieval mofus.

Wow, more political correctness baloney: Muslim UK Cop Objected to Guard Israeli Embassy on Moral Grounds

Here's an insightful quote:
Ex-Met Flying Squad commander John O'Connor, said: "This is the beginning of the end for British policing.

"If they can allow this, surely they'll have to accept a Jewish officer not wanting to work at an Islamic national embassy? Will Catholic cops be let off working at Protestant churches? Where will it end? This decision is going to allow officers to act in a discriminating and racist way.

"When you join the police, you do so to provide a service to the public. If you cannot perform those duties, you leave.

"The Metropolitan Police are setting a precedent they will come to bitterly regret. Top brass granted his wish as they were probably frightened of being accused of racism. But what they've done is an insult to the Jewish community."

You obviously don't understand...

only MUSLIMS get to have these special rights. If they don't then they will riot, burn down buildings and chop peoples heads off.

Anyone that disagrees with me needs too look at: Afghanistan (the budhist statues), France (the teen riots that lasted for weeks), the cartoon riots, the pope quote riots, innocent people being beheaded in Iraq, innocent children being blown up in Israel, innocent people being blown in in Spain, innocent people being blown in England, innocent people being blown up in Egypt., the WTC, I can go on. and on. and on.

The lesson you people are going to learn here is that there can be no end of muslim appeasement. Whatever you do, you would never make them happy. They would forever cry discrimination and with the help of apologists, would always manage to force their beliefs and ultimately theur way of life upon you.

A pity this lesson does not come cheap!!!!

If you don't allow people with alcohol, why not allow other cabbies not to pick up black people due to safety concerns?
(I'm only bringing that up as an example for something that the media loves to talk about, and is used lots of time by black comedians)

In another forum someone posted the following comment:
Simple solution. Just tell Taxi Starter that you dont want a cab with a Somali Muslim regardless of whether you have open alcohol.

Choice works two-ways.

Somali drivers who dont want to starve will stop making stupid demands.

EDIT: I should add, that if people started asking for non-muslim drivers, you know that CAIR, or some other Politically Correct trolls would start making a fuss about people being bigots, racist, etc...

That IS being bigoted...you are discriminating based on religion, NOT because you want to transport alcohol and the cabbie won't let you. The suggestion is to refuse to use a Muslim taxi whether or not you have alcohol and whether or not the taxi driver would refuse to transport it. So alcohol isn't the primary factor in your decision, the driver's religion is.


The cabbies choose to impose their religious beliefs on others, refusing to do business with someone like that isn't bigotry.

Imagine "Osama's TaxiCab Confessions"

where they get you to say some story, are outraged then proceed to video your head being sawed off and then they post it on the internet.

I've given up on Londonistan. The British experiment with multi-culturism should be an eye-opener to the U.S. about encouraging a "separate but equal" attitude amongst citizens.

This is a couple of years old but another example how they want society to conform to them.

Reminds me of the pharmicists that wouldn't give people morning after pills. If you can't perform the tasks necessary to do your job, you need to find a new job.

Those affected by this should just get some other cab. If the cab driver wants to lose his business, so be it.

A good point if it wasn't the case that 75% of them are Somali, and many Muslim.

Once one is accomodated, they will all start making some sort of demands, and maybe start having an issue with how people dress, e.g. "your girl dresses like a tramp, and that is offensive to my religion, so no ride for you".

Enjoy.

More related news: Muslim cabbies refusing the blind and drinkers.
One Muslim driver, Imran, said yesterday the guide dog issue was difficult for him.
"I don't refuse to take people, but it's hard for me because my religion tells me I should not go near dogs," he said.

Yep.... alcohol, dogs -- anybody knows what's next on the list?
Poor Australians, now they have to ask for permission:
Victorian Taxi Association spokesman Neil Sach said the association had appealed to the mufti of Melbourne to give religious approval for Muslim cabbies to carry guide dogs.

EDIT: Seems like the same thing is happening in Norway.

EDIT2: Also in the UK

Someone already posted something about cabbies not wanting to drive gays. I expect that to become more widespread. Next it will be Catholics because of the Pope's remarks. Then hotdogs and all other pork. Then maybe unveiled women? People reading books?

LOL on dogs...They must remember that Prophet Mohammed did at a point use dogs to help them while they were sleeping by serving as sentries and guards whenever someone came along so it isn't as clear cut as one wants to assume it is. Just like dogs provided them assistance back in those days, dogs here are used to help the blind.
Although it is true dogs are seen as "dirty"...while I myself wouldn't mind a dog to hang out in my backyard and perhaps serve as simple protection from the average iditos looking to mess with stuff, I simply do not care enough to deal with all the clean up that people who do have dogs and let them run around everywhere deal with.
Ultimately it is more of a personal choice - as I know people with dogs and cats who are Muslim and people without (though I tend to see cats more often, but I think they are even more useless Atleast dogs do provide companionship whereas cats just sctrach their crotch all day. No offense to cat owners)

To me this is what happens when you don't understand enough about your religion to begin to understand the simple "why". That is ultimately the question we should be asking more and more, and if you are truly interested in a religion the "why" question should ultimately mke you strong in your faith.....
unless it is something like Scientology, in which asking why would probably liberate you fro it, providing they haven't extracted enough trash about your life to destroy you
