China for example, you are not allowed to practice Falun Gong - you could face persecution. Why the **** in North America are there traces of this happening? Less extreme I'll admit, but still happening.

Call me idealist, but people should be able to follow whatever religion they choose. That's true freedom.

How is this anywhere near a trace of not allowing someone to practice their religion? Are they being descriminated against because of their religion? Some would say yes. Are they descriminating against those who do not follow their religion? In the case of the cabbie not driving someone who has alcohol, absolutely they are.

Are these cabbies allowed to descriminate like this? I guess that's the question here. Should they be able to do it without any sort of penalty (being sent to the back of the line)? I think not. Logistical reasons aside, if you are unwilling to accomodate someone who is not of your faith, then why should you be accomodated?

Show me in the Koran (I know I misspelled it), where it says Muslims can't give a ride to someone who has a bottle of wine, and I might reconsider, but I doubt you'll be able to find it.
