Muslim cabbies whose religious beliefs go against driving passengers
who carry alcohol have lost another round in Minnesota courts.

The Minnesota Court of Appeals ruled Tuesday against the cabbies'
latest attempt to block penalties from being imposed when they refuse
to transport passengers because they're carrying alcoholic beverages.

An ordinance adopted by the Metropolitan Airports Commission last year
revokes a cabbie's license for 30 days for refusing to pick up a
passenger for any reason at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International
Airport. A second refusal brings a two-year revocation.

A large share of the cabbies who serve the airport are Somali Muslims,
and many of them believe that Islamic law prohibits them from giving
rides to people carrying alcohol. Since the commission began keeping
track in 2002, there have been over 5,200 recorded instances of
cabbies refusing service to passengers at the airport, including a
"significant percentage" of passengers carrying alcohol, the appeals
court noted.

The issue had simmered for several years before the commission decided
the penalties were needed to ensure that customers would get reliable
taxi service at the airport, and that compromises proposed by the
drivers were impractical.

The drivers, who say the airport rules infringe on their religious
freedom, appealed a lower court's refusal to grant a temporary
injunction blocking those penalties from taking effect.

The appeals court affirmed the lower court's decision. The legal
standard for granting a temporary injunction requires that the parties
seeking it must show they would suffer irreparable harm if it's not
granted. The appeals court agreed with the lower court that cab
drivers who face suspension don't suffer irreparable harm because they
can appeal their suspensions to the airports commission and keep
working while their administrative appeals are pending.

The nine-page opinion by Judge Jill Flaskamp Halbrooks was designated
as unpublished, which means it doesn't set a precedent for future
cases.

Good! As it ought to be.

No One ought to let their religious preferences interfere with their
carrying out any public service, when they are licensed and required
to do so.

It ought to cover More than carrying alcohol.

If they don't care to do that, let them find another line of work.

That's an interesting point. I know essentially zero about religion, but I
would think that one of the basic tenets of any religion worth its salt
would be that the laws of God overrule the laws of man. I sense a problem
here.

We do not run Our constitutional republic on the basis of other
nation's approaches to whatever form of gubmint They may choose.

If indeed ours is superior to theirs, it must hew to its own
principles and demonstrate it.

So if we in fact believe in Equal Protection under the law, then we
don't discriminate on the basis of religion with decisions like these.
If Muslims can be told they must perform public duties that they hold
in opposition to their superstition, then All other religions must be
held subject to the same standard.

We don't Win this discussion by becoming more like Them in the
process.

I think you're assuming the muslims will subscribe to your theory

play by our civilized rules. You can't apply concepts of tolerance

Has nothing to do with whether or not They subscribe to anything at
all. They may believe as they wish. We Must act according to our own
principles, else we arguably have none, and are no better than they.

That does not mean we must abandon our civilized rules.

Sure you can! You need merely live by what We believe, and not become
like them.

If we have the Superior Ideology, then it ought to be demonstrable,
especially to those who do not share it. Otherwise They get to claim
that We (a) don't believe our own rhetoric about what our principles
really are, and (b) are more like Them that we like to assert.

Either way, that's a losing stance.

So, we stoop to the level of the uncivilized?

What has driving a cab got to do with religions ? The object is to
provide a service and to make money, not to apease
muslim religion. Seems like this ought to fit under the sepration of
church and state some where. The cabs are owned by who ever but they are
regulated by the state. The company sets the rules for the employee's
like what uniforms to wear, pay rates, salary, etc. If the muslim does
like to pick up fares because of some religious belief then he doesn't
need to work there.

Suppose you were catching a cab... and right in he middle of your ride
the muslim pulled over to take out the time to do one of his daily
prayer times.or to wash his feet, think he should be able to do that
while you wait in his cab ?

Work is for work, church is for church and church things.

No -- a thousand times No.

Then the solution is that we should know it.

>Why are public schools teaching Islam?

They aren't. They are teaching About Islam, which is sorta like
teaching About Xtianity and Judaism and Buddhism and any of the other
assorted superstitions with a wide following around the world.

Would you prefer that schools merely Ignore a superstition followed by
a group of folks who really Are important? Why would you support
ignorance on such a matter?

>Why footbath concessions, ect.?

Why not? Why acknowledge or even celebrate religious holidays of
other superstitions, or provide kosher meals for observant
conservative Jews, or have prayers at high school football games (with
each side praying to the same divinity for Victory On The Field, and
one of them certain to be turned down in the appeal)?

We have an Odd relationship with organized superstition in this
nation. But at the key, the recent court opinion wrt the Muslim cab
drivers is correct -- they ought Not to be able to refuse accomodation
to the public based on their religious beliefs. I have no problem
with that, and seemingly neither do you.

But given precisely the Same principle about the relationship between
the state and religion, then None of the other organized superstitions
ought to be able to do the same thing only in different venues -- and
yes, that Does include medical personnel and pharmacists.

Because it's the Principle that matters more than the religion does.

If you believe in Equal Protection Under The Law -- which is a bedrock
Constitutional principle -- then that's how it properly ought to be,
is it not? Is that something you wish to give up simply because you
feel threatened?

Still not a good enough reason.

It's the Constitution, child. Applying it equally to all is the way
it's supposed to work. Anything else is an abandonment of our
principles.

Our principles matter.

So what if they don't stop trying? All we need to do is hew to Our

Islam is an organized superstition, as all the others have been. All
of the others have, at various times, undertaken terrism, wars of
religious conquest, religious oppression and everything else possible
under the sun.

I have in fact reached Precisely that conclusion in your case. I will

As have various other groups within This nation through the years.
The best means of opposing them has always been to remain close to Our
principles and let their attempts founder.

It has Never been to abandon ours and become more like them.

There will be no "Our principles", there will be no "constitution"
under sharia law.

The idea for the US Constitution is to protect individual rights;
if sharia law however little, creeps into our system, "the
Constitution"
and what it represents is being taken away.

So "Our principles" and America as it is and as the founding
fathers intended it to be, will be no more.

Apparently you didn't even click on the links provided
in my previous post. A crucifix
would never ever be part of a public classroom for any reason.

In many public schools under the guise of "cultural
diversity" or something like that, Islam is taught
Prayers, dress, Arabic mandated in some Public schools, ect.

No, it is not like teaching Christianity and Judaism and Buddhism,
ect.
The only thing allowed about Christianity in public classrooms is
santa claus and christmas trees..Maybe. Never a crucifix, never
Christ, Mary and Joseph. Teachers would be fired if they ever said,
"In the name of the Father, of the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

Why are Muslims pushing for these seemingly minor concessions?
It's because one small concession leads to the entire enchilada
one day. Give them an inch, they take a mile. They are not like
you,
they are not tolerant of others, there are no human or individual
rights
in Islam.

They have no loyality to their host countries, not even the U.S.
When their numbers are approx 10%, they terrorize their host
countries, then ask for autonomy. i.e. the Philipines, ect.

The FFs intended this to be a nation run on constitutional principles.
I believe Ol' Ben himself said something like you have a republic, If
you can keep it.

We don't keep it by throwing it away when/if we feel threatened by
some outside ideology. We keep it by holding the stronger to it.

When I joined the Army, I took an oath to protect and defend the
Constitution against *all* enemies, foreign and domestic.

They are foreign enemies and You are a domestic enemy of the
Constitution.

Good! Seems quite far -- though the display of one during a lecture
wouldn't be prohibited, any more than a copy of the Holy Tome, the
Q'ran or the Baghavad Gita would.

>In many public schools under the guise of "cultural

Oh nonsense! There are not Many public schools doing any such thing.
Some are. They should. As part of a comparative religions class,
such demonstrations work for a lot of different religions and
cultures.

You wish merely to focus on one. That dog don't hunt. It's all or
none, just as I said.

>I have not seen "Observant conservative Jews" shove
>their footbaths, prayer time outs at places of employment, ect.

Then you have not been paying proper attention to those of the
Conservative sect in Judaism, or even more to the extremely
conservative sects like the Lubavitchers.

Judaism is not monolithic, any more than any of the other organized
superstitions are.

Now who told you that? It is clearly Not true that there are none.

Your adamant ignorance is showing again.

We know how to set limits on things. We do it all the time. We can
set a reasonable and constitutional limit on that too. Indeed, the
local courts just did with the cab drivers. It's a decision that I
fully support.

And it's a decision that ought to be applied to All religions equally.

Which is what I said in the first place.

>They have no loyality to their host countries, not even the U.S.

Few of the True Believers within any organized superstition do. They
are more interested in the hereafter than in the here.

>When their numbers are approx 10%, they terrorize their host

In which case, they are reasonably opposed and autonomy refused, seems

They'd best be pretty good at that. But yer right -- if someone wants

won't matter.

Because it's the Actions that make them culpable, and not their
beliefs.

Oh, calm down here. If Murkens support and defend the Constitution
against all enemies, furn and domestic, it'll work out just fine. If
Murkens choose to abandon the constitution, it probably won't.

Oppress one religion successfully, and the next question will be which
one is Next on the list.

My descendants will be responsible to protect and defend the

Good. I refuse the challenge. Heard it all before, and None of it
persuades me to give up the Constituion and all its principles.

You have now placed yourself as a domestic enemy of it, so you must be
carefully watched and monitored into the future so you can't do any
Real danger to it.

Eternal Vigilance is the Price of Liberty -- for everyone.

Including Muslims.

If they or anyone else does violence, then we ought to prosecute them
for the violence they do.

Their religious beliefs are their own, just as yours are.

Islam has two arms at least, one is terror and the other

Nah - you're just another parrot who mouths phrases but doesn't
comprehend the meaning of them. The world is full of such adamantly
ignorant folks, and you're hardly unique in that.

It's very simple really: If you actually do Love the Constitution,
then live by it. You can't demand that others live by it -- only You
can do that on your own.

If you want religious tolerance, then be tolerant of other religions.

It's just exactly that simple. You do that without preconditions --
you simply do it, whether or not someone else does.

That's how the Constitution works.

Otherwise, it's just something for you to rant on if it's convenient.

The Constitution isn't something you put away simply because You feel
threatened. It's your greatest protection Against the sorts of things
you inchoately fear, in fact.

Live with it, and you bring the majesty and strength of this nation
along with you. Toss it out whenever you like, and you do its enemies
work for them.

You're just another fearful clown.

And you sound exactly like I did at one time;

It could only take the stroke of a pen, the wrong person in office,
and
the Constitution could be gone. I'll do my small part in educating
the public about Islamists, and what they have done to other
countries, doing to Europe, the Philippines, ect.

Thanks for your advice though. If you're not Islamist or not
on the Islam payroll, hopefully you will see what's going on around
the country.

And you are adamantly ignorant of what the term means -- again.

The Constitution either applies to everyone or it does not.

If it does, the Republic is whole and secure.

If it does not, the Republic is in deeper danger from those such as
you who would negate it than it is from those without who might wish
to oppose it.

The recent decision of the MN Court of Appeals was precisely correct.

And that decision should apply strictly to all other organized
superstitions in turn, when the same sort of matter arises.

That's what the Constitution says Must happen.

I support that. You do not.

See how that works?

garage and a trampoline out back. He's now a student at Lewis & Clark
Law School. She spends too much at Costco and hauls her two girls to
gymnastics.

Sitting in her tastefully decorated dining room, Baloch explains that
it wasn't until two years ago after a pilgrimage to Mecca in Saudi
Arabia that she started wearing the hijab. She did it as an
affirmation of her faith.

Sept. 11, 2001, destroyed that middle-class buffer for Muslim
Americans, says Read of Duke University, and life suddenly became
tougher. Hate crimes against Muslims spiked and in many minds, Muslim
became synonymous with terrorists. Several people thought to be Muslim
or Arab were assaulted in Oregon. In 2005, Portland lawyer Brandon
Mayfield, a Muslim convert, was arrested and held for two weeks when
his fingerprints were mistakenly linked to the terrorist bombings that
killed 191 people in Spain.

Non-Muslim friends and neighbors rallied around Mughal and Baloch
after 9/11. But Mughal got stopped and searched nearly every time he
flew. When his elderly father visited from Pakistan, he was pulled
from the airport line for intensive screening. On the day Mughal was
to take his oath of U.S. citizenship, he was told he would have to
wait for a more rigorous security check.

That check took almost four years....


There's more - and it's worth a read.

These are nice folks. You are not threatened by them. Their kids
will grow up American same as yours will, but given your take on
religious xenophobia, chances are theirs will be better Americans than
yours will.

(But yours will, as all generations eventually do, have a chance to
mature past their parents' principles. Which is A Good Thing too.)

The Constitution applies to them the same as it applies to you.

You just want to withdraw it from them because they hew to a different
superstition than you are comfortable with.

Too bad. Deal.

blasphemy and heresy.

GFY in Pigistan. Pigistan where persecution of infidels is systematic,
deliberate and daily. Pigistan, where heresy and blasphemy laws
still exist. Pigistan, where the sentence for blaspheming the prophet
is death or life imprisonment.
