World Conflicts today have a high percentage of Muslims involved...
Muslims vs. Jews in "Palestine," Muslims vs. Hindus in Kashmir, Muslims vs. Christians in Africa, Muslims vs. Buddhists in Thailand, Muslims vs. Russians in the Caucasus, etc...but yes its not directly linked to the Cabbies question or concern at hand. The fact is Muslims are in conflict with Jews and many others.
Islam is portrayed as a peaceful and tolerant religion, yet continually finds itself immersed in terrorism and violent issues due to its intolerance....and thats where the comparison is made with the cabbie situation.

Wow. I couldn't have said it better myself...
I mean, why should Muslims be allowed to choose who to pick up in their cab based on their religion - because THE WEST HAS REASON TO BE CONCERNED WITH MUSLIMS!
That's right, all Muslims are terrorists and are immersed in violent issues... **** 'em if they want to have the same rights as everyone else. Do I think it's stupid to not let people into a cab if they're carrying alcohol? Yeah. Do I also think that it's stupid to eat bread and wine to represent a dead Jesus? Yes. But who am I to tell people what they can or can not do, ESPECIALLY if it is not causing harm to anyone? I think organized religion is oppressive - but I have the right to choose to not practice any religion. And if anyone tried to take that right away from me, I would be ****ed, to say the least.
Did you ever stop to wonder how many conflicts around the world have been caused because of every other Religion? Or how many conflicts around the world have been caused as a direct result of U.S. foreign policies?
