Islamic law forbids Muslims to consume alcohol, and Muhammad cursed those who carry it as well. But up until this controversy in Minnesota -- set off by the Muslim Brotherhood, the engine of the stealth jihad -- Muslims did not attempt to impose this law upon non-Muslims in America.
Another (temporary?) setback for the stealth jihad: "Muslim cabbies in Minn. lose round in court," from Associated Press, September 9 (thanks to Nan):
ST. PAUL, Minn. - Muslim cabbies whose religious beliefs go against driving passengers who carry alcohol have lost another round in court.The Minnesota Court of Appeals ruled Tuesday against the cabbies' attempt to block penalties for refusing service.
An ordinance adopted by the Metropolitan Airports Commission last year revokes a cabbie's license for 30 days for refusing a fare at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. A second refusal brings a two-year revocation....
A drunk staggers up to a waiting cab,leans into the open passenger side window, belches and then asks the driver, "Saaay, pal - Do you have room on your front seat for a case of beer and a pizza?".....
/Here ALL week.
//Don't forget to tip your waitress.
///The veal - try it!
Very good news. A rare case of sanity among the judicial class.

anywhere i'd worked this kind of work effort is frowned upon. like they fired you.
Cheers, everyone, [clicks a Guiness]
The Jewish community of East Hampton , Long Island is trbetween this case and the sying to "impose Halachic Law" on the gentile community and this has become the subject of much controversy. I ask someone to explain to me the difference between this and the case above with the cabbies.

Please explain and GIVE LINK to whatever it is you are so (barely legibly) babbling about.
I thought the same thing, poetcomic1.
Odd post, that.
Don't forget that this is also a victory for physically challenged people that use service dogs. Finally, some good news.
What the heck is "Halachic Law"?
I hope booze becomes a matter of protest for the Muslims in Britain. That is one issue that will unite people against their intolerance.
Felton - You also have dogs and bacon. Any religon that deems beer, Labradors and a full English breakfast as haram must be of the devil himself!
I live a very short walk, as in less than ten minutes, from East Hampton and can say that the Jewish community is not doing anything like what Marc-or is suggesting. From what I have heard there is a push within the Jewish community here to do more to live within the context of their religion, but it does not extend beyond the Jewish community. Beyond that there is really nothing to it, on one is talking about it or anything.
"Halachic". Wasn't he the 2nd string left guard for Green bay back in '78?
What about Three Strikes and you're OUT - of the country that is.
We do NOT NEED these people!!!!!
They are of no use to us.
"halal chic" -- it must be something to do with stylish burkhas.
A Pork Roast/Beer fest is in order for this small win in this war.
Halachic means according to Jewish law.
I can well understand why Osama preferred a Muslim driver, even though that got the driver into a lot of trouble - though not enough! [instead, he's no doubt in line for record compensation thanks to the bleeding PC hearts] - but why is there such a big demand among us infidels for Muslim taxi drivers?
I'm sure the Minnesota Court of Appeals will be on Keith Olber-unibrows (of MSNBC) list of the top 10 worst people tonight.
I think that three strikes are two strikes too many.
It should be one strike and you are out.
The Somalis at the Swift plant who destroyed part of the lunch room should also be sent back to Somali post haste.
Let them trash their own country, not ours.
They should all just go and find new jobs, somewhere in the Middle East, or back in Somalia.
Halal chic? A chic in burqini perhaps?
So next time I fly into Minneapolis I'll be sure to have a six pack and a bag of pork skins for the ride to my hotel.
Actually I like to take pork skins with me whenever I fly. I find it keeps fellow muslim passengers from bothering me and non-muslim passengers become friends. My apologies to jewish passengers, but I have to draw the line somewhere, and pork rinds is just the ticket for drawing lines in the sand.
Let's roll!
Walt,
Pork rinds. What an excellent suggestion! I shall begin carrying a small bag of them with me.
A most excellent zombie repellent. And legal, too!
Jewish posters
do you have any ideas as to what tempting morsels Jews like, and Mohammedans do not, waitc should carry in his *other* pocket, in order to cement alliance with Jewish fellow-travellers?
My own suggestion, speaking as a Gentile, is inspired by an absolutely mouthwatering four-page article that I read in Jerusalem Post not so long ago, discussing the Israeli addiction to chocolate and the proliferation of boutique chocolatiers in Israel. Surely some of those folks would do the sort of chocolates that have mildly-alcoholic liqueur fillings.
If waitc were to carry Israeli-made liqueur chocolates (kosher, of course), as well as his pork rinds, he would be fully equipped to cement alliances with Jewish fellow travellers as well as with other kafir. The liqueur fillings and the 'Made In Israel' label ostentatiously displayed would keep the Mohammedans well away.
We should do a reverse stealth jihad and make a concerted push for abolishing open container laws so that Muslims have to stay in their ghettoes because we're all toting booze around. I'll carry around vino just to keep them away, like garlic and vampires. Come to think of it, I could just carry a crucifix, since Muslims react to them the same way as do vampires.
That these cabbies refused to carry around blind people with seeing eye dogs was what pissed me off the most. You would think that people who come from parts of the world which have 20x the rates of genetic defects and disorders and considerably lower IQs (that is not an exaggeration) as the result of rampant inbreeding would if anything be more considerate of people who are differently abled, but it's just another excuse to treat them as kuffars, like they can make money off Muslims anyway. They wouldn't be here if they could.
Good thing those cabbies lost their case. I just hope the 7-11 owners don't rise up in revolt!
dumbledoresarmy:
Your graciousness is appreciated.
I regret to tell you that a Jewish traveler, if pious enough, might be put off by the pork rinds in the other pocket. But it's a very individual thing. They just as likely would be pleased by the kosher and made-in-Israel markings on the chocolate and go for it.
Personally, I wear pig-skin gloves whenever I fly in cold weather. And although I don't particularly like them, I think I'll go for the pork rinds. God will understand. And I'll get a laugh out of it.
Especially if I've got some beer to wash them down with.
BTW most American Jews are not, at this point in history, very emotional on the subject of the pork taboo, no matter how pious they may be. The plain fact is that we are living among Christians who do not share the restriction, and consequently pork is perfectly common and normal.
It's everywhere. No harm is meant. And to take offense at it would be ridiculous. Any rabbi would agree.
One has to remember that the Jews have two millenia of experience at living among people who do not live by our rules. And I dare say that many other people have similar folk knowledge in their cultural heritage. But we've got it down to a science.
I know plenty of Jews that won't eat in a restaurant where pork (or shellfish) is handled in the kitchen. But I've never met one who would get upset to sit near somebody munching on pork rinds or a shrimp salad. It would be seen as the pinnacle of irrationality, piety or no, to get weird about somebody else's eating habits.
But as I said, your gracious consideration is appreciated.
Come to think of it, I could just carry a crucifix, since Muslims react to them the same way as do vampires. posted by jdamn
Muslims and vampires do have a lot in common. They are both anathema and lust for blood, and they're like the "living" dead since they can't wait to die and embark on their eternal sex orgies in pornographic paradise.
It would be hilarious to see muslims recoil in horror at the sight of a crucifix, the men cowering with their hands over their eyes, and the muslimas shielding their eyes with the ample folds of their burkas or chadors, like Count Dracula covering his face with his cape to escape the painful sight. If crucifixes are that abhorrent to them, we should put them on our cars, houses, and clothing---everywhere, so they couldn't venture out of their segregated enclaves without being greeted by a giant crucifix. Anything to make them hate where they live and crave the idyllic sanctuary of their former corrupt, polluted, filthy, destitute, islamic hellholes.
I had the same thing happen to me in the UAE when a Pakistani Muslim taxi driver refused to drive me back home with alcohol I just purchased from the Hilton hotel bottle shop. Like a good chap he took the extra money I offered for allowing me to take alcohol in his taxi and drove me home. He sold his faith for a few dollars - not unlike a "good" christian does when he sins all week and asks for forgiveness on Sundays. Who said religion can't be bought......hiccup!
What Marc-or is referring to is a proposal to erect an eruv in East Hampton. Orthodox Jews are forbidden to carry a load from one "domain" to another on the Sabbath. Traditionally, this means that they can only carry a load within their own house. This limits the distance they can take small children to a synagogue and various other activities. The eruv is a way out of this restriction. By erecting a wall, real or symbolic, around a certain area, the whole area can be considered a single domain and carrying loads within it is permitted. The Orthodox in East Hampton are proposing to erect a symbolic eruv, which consists of a rope hung from telephone poles enclosing a certain area.
The difference between this and Muslim cab drivers refusing to carry alcohol is that, whereas the Muslims are in fact imposing Islamic Law on non-Muslims, the erection of an eruv has no impact on non-Jews. Nobody else is affected by some additional ropes strung from the telephone poles. It does not impose Jewish law on non-Jews.
The thing I don't understand about these Muslim cabbie disputes is how the cabbies know that the client is carrying alcohol. Are they only refusing the presumably rather small number of customers who openly carry a bottle of alcohol? Or are they actually asking the customers whether they have alcohol in their baggage?
This cabbie attitude toward alcohol and dogs is ridiculous, and their permits should be suspended.
If I am leaving the airport and am getting into a cab, it is highly unlikely that I would be carrying any alcohol in the first place. In the second place, it's none of his damned business.
What happens if a blind person with a seeing-eye dog needs a ride? Probably the same attitude since logic doesn't seem to be one of the stronger suits of moslems.
My first post here... we will see more and more of this in the near future...for me the only solution is VSB- voluntary self-balkanization.
When in Egypt, I asked my friend Yasser, "How do you know who the radicals are?" Easy, he said, they're the ones who will kill my wife and kids if I don't obey.
I’m a frequent business traveler based in Minneapolis but fortunately I have never had to take a cab to or from MSP.
However I do have to endure the airport shops just crawling with non-assimilating Muslims as employees. I’m easygoing enough to take no offense at a simple covering of the hair, but when the employers allow them to wear flowing black robes and near total covering of all but the face (kinda “burka-lite) it goes way, way over any “reasonable accommodation” of religion.
I’ve taken to tracking down the contact info for the management company of such stores and sending them emails such as below.
Does anyone think this is a good approach? I’d sure like any suggestions on how to better stand up against this BS:
“Hello,
As a frequent flyer based out of Minneapolis/St. Paul I am shocked and disappointed at the continuing offensive, totally inappropriate behavior of some of your staff members at several of your MPS airport locations.
I have noticed on many occasions your store employees not in standard business/retail attire as one expects, but in a full hijab, long robe-type attire and long flowing floor length black skirts. The only piece of their attire that would hold any clue to them being employees serving customers is their airport ID tags. They look as if they have just been transported to MSP right off the streets of Tehran or some other location where chants of “Death to America” are standard fare.
This type of behavior is extremely offensive and demonstrates not only the insensitivity of the employee but the total disregard for standard business protocol by the site management that allows these offences to occur.
Allowing employees to wear attire that clearly promotes a political and/or religious point of view in such a blatant manner in a business environment is totally unacceptable.
Would you allow your employees to wear a swastika or a Confederate flag? Of course not, as that could be offensive to your Jewish and African American customers. The teachings of totalitarian, supremacist Islam are every bit as offensive and inappropriate for a business setting as these. By allowing some employees to act inappropriately you undermine the effectiveness of your entire local team.
As an employer you are fully within your legal rights to enforce a reasonable, consistent dress code that bans apparel that is inappropriate in a business setting and/or offensive to your customers.
I call upon you to review your practices at MSP, correct this offensive, unprofessional and inappropriate behavior by some of your employees, and provide a customer experience that is free of the intolerant, supremacist aspects of Islam.
I look forward to learning of your action steps to address this concern.
Thank you.”
Pork rinds. What an excellent suggestion! I shall begin carrying a small bag of them with me.
Are you even allowed to take them on the plane?
mncold1 - You go! Hit the employer where it hurts - right in the wallet. What if everyone who did not like this refused to spend $ ?
I've done an immediate right about face and marched out of several establishments for the very reason you describe. Keep it up.
mncold1 - At football games, when I was in high school, FIFTEEN RAHS were the ultimate compliment to a significant, power play!
Your approach is encouraging and worthy of emulation! Here's FIFTEEN!!! to you!
Omish don't drive Trucks and Mormons don't work at Starbucks. Get a differnt line of work.
Why wouldn't you be permitted this? Hell, you could practically drag a dead body through TSA security without a flinch, as long as you don't have more than 3 ounces of fluid!
Take the pork rinds, but leave the Coke behind!
