Muslim Cabbies Impose Booze Ban

[Daseal]

I think this is trying to be turned into a Muslim vs Christian debate when it isn't one. It isn't an us vs them situation. It's someone not wanting drunks in their cabs. If this were Bible Thumpers Cab Co. and it was in the middle of Kansas, you'd applaud them for ignoring drunks.

i guess everyone is a little testy anytime the word muslim is used. all im saying that if its company policy, then fine. but if its just one muslim cab driver trying to make his own rules, screw him. do what all the other cab drivers are doing

He did not say that the cab driver would not take drunks he said that he did not allow alcohol. If I was getting a cab and he said no alcohol I don't know if I would even think twice about it and would dump out my drink. Now if it was a bottle I'd find a different cab.

and i am probably the farthest thing from a bible thumper. i just think that sometimes our great country goes out of its way to appease the select few, instead of satisfying the vast majority

What makes a country great is it's ability to protect the few from the many. We just need to use common sense more often is all.

If alcoholism is a disease, aren't they refusing service to the disabled?
