Minneapolis Airport Muslim Cabbies - UPDATE
BUT.....the Airport officials really don't "get it"!
Airport Drops Muslim Cabbie Compromise
Tuesday, 10 Oct 2006
Hundreds of Muslim taxi drivers who serve Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport have refused taking passengers who are carrying alcohol.
The Metropolitan Airports Dhimmi Commission had been working with the Offended and Offensive Muslim American Society and taxi companies on a pilot program under which drivers who won't take riders carrying alcohol would put a different top light on their cabs. ( or maybe the unclean offenders could simply save the muslims the effort and wear a patch clearly labeling them as dhimmis.) That would have allowed airport employees to direct these travelers to willing drivers.
But the Metropolitan Airports Dhimmi Commission said the public response was overwhelmingly negative, and some taxi companies feared that people opposed to the system would switch to other forms of ground transport instead of cabs.
OK, HERE COMES THE CONVOLUTED LOGIC......PC based crapola.......... back in May when discussions began cabbies were refusing customers with alcohol an average of 77 times per month. But since then, the government has imposed new security rules that prohibit travelers from taking most liquids through security checkpoints, except in containers smaller than three ounces. That's led to a sharp drop in travelers carrying alcohol -- so fewer are being refused service by taxi drivers.
For now, though, taxi drivers who refuse to carry these travelers will continue to forfeit their place in the taxi queue and return to the back of the line, which often means a three-hour wait for another fare.
My own comments: If you want to do yourself a favor, sacrificing a little time now rather than much larger problems later, REFUSE to ride in a cab driven by a muslim! And say it's because they are offensive to ">>>>fill in the blank<<<<"
