At Minneapolis-St. Paul airport, Muslim taxi drivers have refused to transport about 5,400 passengers because they had alcohol in their luggage...They said carrying alocohol violates Islamic Law...these people are working for the public in public transportation...isn't this carrying your religous feelings to work and expecting systems to turn on their needs.....another example of how fragmenting we are becoming....

why are their employers allowing this behavior?
This is why religous beliefs do not belong in the work place.People are hired to do a certain service and for that service they are paid a salary. These Muslims are neglecting their position of service, employment. They also may just be violating the rights of some of the very persons they refused a ride.

1. A pharmacist refusing to dispense birth control .
2. A civil servant refusing to perform a legal same-sex marriage/civil union.
3. A fertility clinic refusing to provide service to lesbians
all need to change professions if these services are against their religous beliefs to the point they cannot render the services .Same for the muslim cabbies,find another occupation that does not hinder their beliefs.

The customers need to turn this around on them. When enough people refuse to ride with them, They will change their minds. Hit 'em where it hurts their wallet!
