Jeez, talk about taking the extreme ends. Seperate places on buses? Religious apartheid?
Yeah... I'm the extremist here...

Why not? If a Muslim cab driver shouldn't have to drive someone who doesn't conform to their religion, why should a Muslim be forced to sit by someone on a bus who doesn't conform to their religion (is intoxicated)? I assume we should set up an area of the bus that is 'safe' for them to practise their relgion, no? And if not, why not?

We're talking about a line-up of cabs that would continue as usual.
No, we're talking about new, special priveleges for certain groups based on their specific religion.

Did you even read the article or are you just adding your two cents because you have no one in real life to criticize?

That... is... dumb. But, to be expected from you.
For someone who whines about personal attacks in posts I defy you to find one personal attack from me towards you in this thread. Hypocrite.
