If you're so against freedom of religion, maybe it's YOU that is in the wrong society.

I never said anything about the middle east. I think right wing christian extrmemists can **** off as well.
Its you who is completely missing the point. The new world is all about freedom. Everyone's freedom. My freedom to go drink. My freedom to try and hail a cab. The cabbie's freedom to deny me service. I'm fine with that. Just don't ask for some special expemption when you deny me that service. Did you even read the article? Did you even read my posts??
Also, its not like the passengers are forcing cabbies to drink. They're not being asked to break their religious belief in any way shape or form. I never even said the cabbie should be forced to take someone. If they are uncomfortable with taking someone, great, don't take them. Just live with that decision, know you will lose the business, and carry on.
