What is so difficult to understand? Yes, it is wrong to drink, but apparently it is also wrong to associate with anyone possessing or under the influence of alcohol. Do you understand this? Forcing these cab drivers to take these fares are against their religious beliefs?
I am a vegetarian, and no it is not my religion. I do not worship cows or the animal gods... Honestly, I don't think I am even going to justify this with a response.
I think the league should fine you $10 000 for that remark - and it's not even after a crappy call by a ref.

Man you are hilarious..your counter arguments go on some wild tangents, but ive decided to keep playing.
Like I said earlier, if you drive a cab, you will deal with people who drink. That is a fact. So they are in the wrong line of work.
No where did I say vegetarianism was a religion, you conjured that up yourself. However, if you choose to be a vegetarian, its probably unwise for you to choose to work as a butcher. Right? So if you're a muslim who can't even associate with someone who drinks, is it a wise choice to be a cab driver? I can't really put it any more clearly than that.
And you keep bringing in this idea that I think the cabbie's should be forced to take the fares. I never once said that. But they should accept the loss of business that will go along with that. You can't just make an overhaul to the system to appease every minority. It's unrealistic. What if jewish cabbies were unwilling to take passengers who were uncircumcised? Should every religious group start to have its own designated cab service now?
Should the saddledome have a muslim section where muslims can still enjoy hockey without having to endure those who drink alcohol? How about the c-train ride home, do they get their own section of the train?
The funny thing is, its probably a really small minority of muslim cabbie's who are complaining. I bet other muslim cabbies are fine with it and don't really care.
And at the end of the day, if these cabbie's can't even associate with people who drink alcohol, they should pretty much stay confined to their homes, because they probably buy groceries from drinkers, get haircuts from them, send their children to school with children of drinkers, let drinkers teach their children, etc.
Its just such a stupid argument in the first place, these guys are ######bags and should just shut the F up and get another job, its unreal that this has even become an issue at all.
