Liberals believe that some exceptions should be made to equal the opportunities available for everyone. So a Liberal viewpoint in this situation would be to allow the Muslim cab driver back into the line so he/she can have the same opportunity to get a fare as non-Muslims. Socialists believe that since minorities, such as Muslims, have a more difficult time getting fares that extra help should be granted to help them achieve more fares. This is where things like affirmative action etc. come into play. So, maybe a socialist solution would be to start an all-Muslims cab company or something like that...

They have the same opportunity as the rest of the cabbies....they are the ones placing road blocks in their way.
