I imagine my friend έχω ζωη would know more about this situation since he lives near there. Apparently Muslims who drive cabs are now refusing to drive anyone who carries alcohol with them.

As usual, the Muslims claim, "I cannot force anybody to change their belief." While actually trying to do that very same thing. Meanwhile, "Airport officials have begun working with taxi drivers to install colour-coded lights on taxi roofs to indicate which are alcohol friendly and which are not."

Now I'm not sure about MN, but everywhere else I've been, all people who drive cabs have to have licenses and permissions from the city. So, since these cabbies are working with the permission of the city, they are imposing their religious beliefs on anyone else who wants to use the cab. So where is the ACLU? Why isn't the ACLU trying to get these cabbies to stop because this is just as clearly a government endorsement of religion, isn't it?

I wish I had the time and money to really create test cases for these things. How far do you think I'd get if I drove a cab at the airport, but before I'd let anyone ride, I'd ask them if they had accepted Jesus as their savior -- and then refused to let them in if they didn't? Oh, I wouldn't be forcing my beliefs on anyone, just not letting anyone in who didn't completely and totally accept my beliefs.

My suggestions for everyone who goes through the MN airport: carry six-packs of beer when you need a cab.
