What is it with these Muslim cabbies?  It’s clear, Americans must bow to the demands of the miniscule minority.  Waaaa.  We’re only trying to earn a living to support our families in Somalia.  As a result, Americans must adhere to the words of Allah.  That’s according to the Muslim cabbies at the Mpls./St Paul Airport.  The Airport Commission has a different take on this though.  Guess the non-Muslim cabbies will benefit from the cabbies who have their undies in a knot over alcohol.

Muslim cabbies tell airport they won’t bend in alcohol dispute

For Abdi Mohamed, it’s not a question of whether he’ll carry passengers with alcohol in his cab. The question is whether he’ll get punished for refusing to do so.

“I am Muslim. I’m not going to carry alcohol,” Mohamed, a driver for Bloomington Cab, told a Metropolitan Airports Commission panel that gathered public opinion Tuesday regarding proposed penalties for cabbies who refuse service to passengers carrying alcohol.

Here’s a suggestion to the Muslim cabbies - get a new job, cause you’re going to need it. You’ve been given an opportunity to live in the United States of America, not Somalia. Adapt and assimilate or go back from whence you came. Of course there’s the Muslim imam who also happens to be an adjunct law professor who has to chime in…..

Hassan Mohamud, a Muslim imam and adjunct law professor at William Mitchell College of Law, said the Muslim cab drivers are only trying to support their families, both here and in their strife-torn home country, and are being placed in an impossible situation.

“If we pass this (policy) it means cutting off the lifelines of thousands of people,” Mohamud said.

Yeah, my heart is bleeding for you. No one is forcing you to drive a cab. After all, it’s always someone else’s fault for your problems. The Somali’s in Mpls. protest when the US assists Somalia against the Islamic militias, these same Somali’s cheered and celebrated in the Twin Cities when the World Trade Center was attacked by Islamic fascists and yet we still accept these ungrateful people as refugees. They then want to stain our legal system with their whining baseless lawsuits.  But that won’t stop them from trying to force their beliefs and Islam on the unbelievers!  The Islamists will use whatever tool is available and that includes the Supreme Court.

“This is a religious freedom issue, and it will not end here,” Abdi said. “It will go to the courts, even the Supreme Court. The drivers will not relinquish their rights to be protected under American law.”

Douglas from Crossword Bebop attended the MAC meeting regarding the Muslim cabbies.  From what Doug has to say there could be another agenda here.
