That's fine. They need to put a muslim sign on TOP of the cab, so we can choose NOT to ride in a muslim cab. Case solved.

The most outrageous thing about this is the fact that the US is granting green cards to Somali Muslims. Their presence in the US can only be harmful to our national interests. What an insane, suicidal policy. As if we did not have enough home grown savagery, we had to import more.

" The airport is expected to propose today that drivers who wish to avoid alcohol-toting passengers change the light on their car roofs, .."

Putting aside for the moment my first concern (which is not to get into a cab with a religiously or alcoholically drunken Muslim driver) I have a couple of suggestions to Muslim drivers refusing to take Western customers:

# Leave the USA and move to Saudi Arabia (lots of fares there since women are prohibited from driving).
# Go to Hell.

I also have a suggestion to airports concerning Muslim cabdrivers:

# Bring them back up front and center .. not hidden in huddles together off to the side of the airport (for Security Reasons!!!!) ... where they can plot away undetected.

Have you been to La Guardia recently? It's truly frightening.

Last summer I took a cab to the MSP int'l airport. You know, the airport where all the new fangled security dudes put there to protect us from Moslems are.... Moslems.

Anyway, the cabbie is a... Moslem, and naturally he's tuned into the Canadian Broadcasting System on his radio where an infidel broadcaster is broadcasting antisemitic agitprop and spouting lies about how maybe terrorism is not so bad after all.

The creep kept turning up the volume and looking at me in his rear view to see if I was gonna have that epiphany.

I just had to speak to the back of his oily scalp, "Either turn that worthless crap off right now or pull over to the side of I-494 and let me out of the car."

He went for the radio silence option and sulked all the way to airport. But the Moslem African seemed to perk up a bit when he dropped me off into a sea of Moslem security guards put there to keep me safe from.... Moslems.

I will be avoiding the muslim cabdrivers, whether or not I'm carrying alcohol or pork.

If word gets out, maybe enough people will simply avoid the muslim cabdrivers altogether.

Let's see how long not making money changes the somalis view of alcohol.

I was waiting in a long line up for a limo at Pearson International Airport in Toronto. It was winter, bitterly cold and the line was moving at a snail's pace.

A woman ahead of me in line, waiting patiently for her turn for a limo, had a small dog in a carrier. When it came to her turn, the driver refused to take her, pointing to the dog.

I never knew what the deal was, but it did occur to me that she was refused because the driver was a Moslem and did not want to have a dog in his vehicle. A further thought occured to me: There should be two queues for the limos --halal and non-halal. Folks could make up their own minds on which ones they want to patronize. Truth in advertising serving free enterprise serving freedom of speech and association.

When I travel to Minnesota this fall, I'll be sure to wear a very, VERY large Star of David around my neck (I'm not Jewish, by the way). If I spoke Hebrew, I would sit in the back loudly chanting verses from the Torah (I have no idea if that is part of Jewish liturgy, by the way) all the way to my destination. But since I don't, I'll have to settle for bringing my large rambunctious dog who loves to jump up and lick peoples' faces.

Wish me bon voyage!

Posted by: special_guest at September 18, 2006 12:33 PM

New Delhi had a solution for bad acting cabbies at the airport.

Pre-paid cab fares ... you bought one inside the airport, and walked to the pre-paid taxi stand, and handed it to the attendant.

The attendant handed you a voucher card with the the cab's number on it, and marked the cab out.

When you got to your destination, you signed the card, added any comments you wanted, and handed it over.

If their were any complaints on the card, or if the card vanished, the cabbie was paid and then kicked out of the prepaid cab pool.

Posted by: Voyager at September 18, 2006 12:53 PM

If we are to prevent our slide into dhimmitude the Muslims that live amongst us must be made to embrace the founding principles of our nation. If individual Muslims find our founding principles of individual Liberty an affront to their creed we must politely but firmly invite them to leave.

I will attempt to bring this debate to my area by e-mailing my local paper this link and request that they ask local politicians what they have to say on the Muslim problem. I encourage you to do the same.

---------------------------------

I would love to know how candidates running for public office would deal with Muslims taxi drivers in America refusing to take passengers suspected of carrying alcohol. What would our candidates do if Muslims in America refuse to deal with women they deem improperly dressed according to their creed?

How Muslims in America embrace, or refuse to embrace, our founding principles of individual Liberty seems an issue candidates running for public office, at all level of government, should be required to respond to. Would your reporters please contact our candidates and report their response to this fundamental issue of national security to your readers.

the airport is now forcing drivers who refuse a fare to go to the end of the line for waiting taxis. It is not a popular decision among drivers, Hogan says.

Oh boy!!!! a dozen friends, a few bottles of wine, and we could have some fun!

Sic the fu2#$% ACLU on the poor bastards. This is discrimination against alcoholics. After all, alcoholism is a disease and these Somalis are discriminating against its poor victims.

If a Somali refused to pick up a wheelchair-bound person or a Vietnam Veteran or a homo-sexual or an Afro-American we would have a lawsuit by now.

Alcoholism makes victims. Somalis discriminate. The cab companies pay out a$$ in an ACLU-sponsored suit.

Reading this attempt by dour dhimmi-dampeners, or D.D.D.'s, to impose their will, one imagines assorted friends with benefits pairing off to hail cabs driven by such D.D.D.'s, those taxis waiting at the airport or mid-city stand or tete or hazard, and then, pour epater le chauffeur, starting with a look, and then a kiss in the dark, and then another, and then proceeding from there to....

Those inclined to employ other means, in order to retain un po' di dignita, might choose rather to turn up the volume on their portable CD-players in order to row, Jericho, row right through a river of old-time Gospel music and even perhaps a holy-rollerish sermon or two, --'pon my word, turned up jes' as loud as you please -- so as the taxi goes along, both music and lyrics may be shared.

Going or coming, where there's a will there may quite possibly be a way.

It's a noble act to protect pious Muslim taxidrivers from being soiled by the filth of Dar-al-Harb. Forbidding carrying alcohol in the taxi is a start, but why not expand it to include:

No Credit Cards (banks charging interest is Haram).
No Music or musical devices including iPod, Walkman etc.
No unaccompanied or uncovered female passengers.
No books, magazines, newspapers etc. with depictions of animals or people.
and (as posted by "Know Your Enemy") No sides of bacon allowed.

Any infraction of the above rules will obligate the Muslim taxidriver to detonate the bomb in his trunk; so as to ensure his successful admittance into Allah's brothel in the sky.

Travelling through Ontario last week, we enjoyed CBN news (Canadian Broadcast Network?); it's pretty out there and there was no alternative on our motel's TV.

Anyway, there was a feature story on the news about recent approvals for government funding of a made-for-TV movie. Glowing praise. The movie will portray the struggles of a Somali immigrant and the challenges she faces while processing her paperwork for government benefits. The clip shown had her standing fifth in line.

Aarghhh.

Here in Australia people are encouraged to catch a taxi rather than drive whilst under the influence of alcohol (oh the irony). At the airport we have people catching taxis at departures to avoid the lazy good for nothing drivers who have'nt a clue where they're going in the suburbs, not to mention how rude they are anyway.

Posted by: eloivsdiablo at September 18, 2006 5:42 PM

Is it legal to discriminate against any well behaved person. A taxi (at least in Baltimore) MUST accomodate all citizens unless they are dosorderly or unable to pay. Anyone who does not abide by the regulations is at risk of losing their permit to opearate a taxi. In the United States discrimination is illegal. Separate but equal does not apply.

Posted by: MP at September 18, 2006 6:01 PM

...but are Minnesotans allowed to refuse to serve Muslims because their beliefs and customs (pick one) are offensive?

Posted by: radishthegreat at September 18, 2006 6:19 PM

Perhaps de-planing passengers should be given armbands identifying their religion so that muslim cabdrivers can refuse carriage to all but their own.

BTW, if it's so tough on them to carry passengers who MIGHT have alchohol, why don't they move back to Somalia where that will be the least of their worries?

Posted by: perpster at September 18, 2006 6:31 PM

Reverse discrimination in a Southern city

Usually we park our car at the airport when flying. Last month we drove a car to my daughter and flew back. The taxis were all lined up, maybe 7 or 8 of them. All were somalis. We waited as the taxis drove off with passengers.

More cabs came, all Somalis. They looked at us strangely. Obviously we were leaving the airport with bags, but we stayed on the sidewalk, watching them. After about 10 minutes, we looked at each other and said let's take a bus.

So we took a bus into the city, then dismissed two empty cabs with more Somali drivers. We finally found a great driver who told us that that someone had bought up all the available taxi licenses and given them to the Somalis. This represented a hugh outlay in money. We took the very nice cab driver's card for future use. It took us twice as long to get home but we will never cabs driven by jihadis.

"If individual Muslims find our founding principles of individual Liberty an affront to their creed we must politely but firmly invite them to leave."

Unfortunately, 99% of our fellow Americans don't seem to know what those are.

Luckily, every time I have gone to MSP, I haven't had the annoyance of having one of the cabbies described above.

Slowly, the Twin Cities area(or should that be Minnesota or even the whole nation?) is imploding, thanks to the dull thinking of people in high places and unintegrated third-worlders.

Interesting....

So now all the cabs in your fine Southern City can be driven around town by Muslim drivers with tactical SADR's in the trunks of their cars? Where did all this money come from to buy up all the licenses? Whats going on? What OBL idea is this?

All I know is that when Somalis can openly say they invaded Lewiston Maine because the welfare benefits are generous and easy - I am not a 'racist' because I despise them. My grandparents came here steerage and worked 12-14 hour days in one room coldwater flats to get ahead and LOVED this country with a passion.

Posted by: poetcomic1 at September 18, 2006 8:49 PM

The answer is to send the driver to the back of the line. That's the way they did it to us when we refused to take a short fare at the Vancouver airport. You could refuse for smoke and that's all. Or if someone was so intoxicated he/she couldn't make it to the door and open it by themselves.

But, to some of the people painting all Somalis with the same brush: I had a surprising coversation with a Somali cabbie. He said the only reason he was p.o.d at Bush was because he wanted a regime change in his country. If it hadn't been for this guy, I wouldn't have known that Christians in Cairo (where he lived for a time) have to wait until every Muslim is served, even if a little child comes in after he's been waiting for hours. So they aren't all jihadis: some of 'em hate them too.

By the way, today I witnessed a kind of terrorism on the streets of Toronto.

But the story about buying up all the licenses is really interesting. More on that, please.

Correct!You have to give them directions most of the time. Must be awful if you are not a returning local!

I don't drive so I go by cab often. I use a private taxi service whenever possible. The head of the group is an Aussie and he said they don't like picking up drunks. Fair enough, I suppose. This I can understand.Who wants a mess and possibly no fee?

So am I to undertand that these drivers are going to discriminate openly about who they pick up?

Well it cuts both ways.
I like this private service because I am less likely to get a muslim driver!!!

I refuse to ride with Mohammedan cab drivers.

I had a few altercations, in Sydney and also in Germany. Sometimes its hard to recognize them, but if they drive up with scruffy beards & coffee-filters cald in kaftans I simply refuse to get in and tell them I wait for the next one. It may embarrass others, I don't care. I make my point and I say it loud so that everybody can hear it: "I don't support Mohammedan business & I don't take Mohammedan cabs"...

Here's what you do. Pick up a slab of Nueske's bacon while you're in the Twin Cities. Conceal it in your coat. Smear it all over the cab's back seat and door handles. Rub a little on your currency and hand it to the Moslem cabbie. Watch his head explode.

Posted by: Lepanto at September 18, 2006 11:09 PM

Here's an idea....

Hide a small bottle of liquor in your jacket pocket, one with a very strong scent. Get in one of the cabs colour coded for no alcohol. At the end of the ride, pay the cabbie and then pull out the bottle and take a small sip. Then as you get out, "accidently" spill the rest of the liquor all over the back seat while shouting "Allahu f&@kin Akbar, you ^$$hole!"

Posted by: Provoslavni at September 19, 2006 1:07 AM

Posted by: eloivsdiablo at September 19, 2006 8:42 AM

What strikes me as most absurd about this item is the likelihood that these very observant Muslim Somali cabbies are, more likely the ex-pat black brethren of the victims of the Islam-inspired Janjaweed terrorists engaging in ethnic cleansing in Darfur than they are to be brethren of the "Arab" Janjaweed or the Janjaweed's government sponsors in Khartoum.

It's obvious what needs to be done,besides deporting these untermenschen. And that is to bring on the cab a small bag of pork rinds and then silently distribute them on the floor and backseat of the cab. The poor mohammaden will have a fit when he realizes what objectionable material he has to clean up in the cab. Of course the passenger will be long gone. And what would happen if a Christian is wearing a crucifix on his lapel? will a priest, nun, rabbi or other non-mo follower religious be denied transport?
