If these idiot cabbies are that offended by people who drink, they are in the wrong line of work. There should be no exemption. If you decide to bypass a customer, its your loss, otherwise suck it up and take the fare. And if you can't handle that, you're probably living in the wrong society. So **** off.

So we should all just assimilate? Plus, not EVERY Muslim is born in the Middle/Near East. Muslims are actually born here in North America too...
Wow, just wow.
Why can't you see that disallowing Muslims to follow their religious beliefs in whatever line of work they are in is discrimination? I thought the "new" world is supposed to be all about freedom. Freedom to express yourself, freedom from tyranny, freedom of religious beliefs. I guess it's a one-sided deal...
Everywhere you go, there seems to be a shortage of cab drivers. So, according to you, and apparently the majority of posters here, it would be better if we banned people from practising their religious beliefs and had a lot less cabs on the road... obviously you've never tried to get a cab Friday night.
Again, obviously these group of cab-drivers are not benefitting in any way, shape or form from this. It is actually HURTING them. Cab drivers probably aren't making six figures and could use whatever fare they could get - but it's morally wrong. What makes you think that money is so much more important than what they believe is right?
