From Little Green Footballs:
A Bad Day for the Muslim Brotherhood in Minneapolis
Muslim cab drivers at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport are going to be suspended (and could have their licenses revoked) if they demand that their passengers follow shari’a law:
Looks like the Muslim Brotherhood front group calling itself the Muslim American Society may have pushed a little too hard on this front. Starting May 11, airport taxi drivers who refuse to transport riders carrying alcohol will be suspended for 30 days. And after a second offense, their license would be revoked for two years.
The Metropolitan Airports Commission voted 11-0 Monday to approve the crackdown, which some Muslim drivers say violates their religious beliefs. Commissioners called the change reasonable, practical and important for rider safety.
“We are sending a message that if you want to drive a taxi at our airport you can’t refuse our customers,” Steve Wareham, operations manager of Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport.
