Aren't these drivers free to pursue other careers?
There are jobs i've avoided because they conflict with my personal values.

Sorry, but I forgot to add earlier that those "No Alcohol Permitted" signs on the Minneapolis/St. Paul cabs need to also have signs with words to the effect, "Also, dogs NOT allowed".
Each slogan could easily fit inside the Crescent Moon-on-green-background mandated signs, don't you think?

Hey Minneapolis/St. Paul-- Vote to require cab companies to post "No Alcohol on Board" signs promemently on the Somali/Muslim driven cabs, in two or three places on the taxi's body.

Air travelers should be allowed to have the informed choice of whom they ride with.

How can CAIR object to this innocent requirement?

Regardless of Islamic law, if a cab drivers values in any arena prohibit him from taking passengers who are not in violation of the law as to what you may and may not carrie on a cab, that driver should lose their job.
This is simply a case of a foreign culture seeing how far they can use our own laws to push us around. The answer should be about 1/2 a millimeter.

Speaking of Islamic law, I came across this article that shows yet another disgusting example of how Arab Muslim cultures treat women. As an exercise physiologist who works in cardiac rehab (often helping people combat obesity and diabetes), I was all the more enraged by this.
