“Ain’t no boozin, while I’m cruisin, Infidel”

Muslim cabdrivers in Minnesota are upset about a new law that forces them to ferry passengers carrying alcohol:

Although Hogan said the measure was implemented without incident, it has provoked outrage among some of the 900 cab drivers who work the airport. About three quarters of them are Somali, most of whom are Muslim.

“A few of them are really, really upset about it,” said Omar Jamal, executive director of the Somali Justice Advocacy Center in neighboring St. Paul. “They believe they have been forced into something against their faith, something against their religion.”

My how things have changed. My suggestion would be for these gentleman to find another job.  About the only reason anyone calls a taxi is because their substance abuse has put them in a position where they can’t afford a car or their substance abuse has put them in a position where they can’t drive a car.  If he can’t drive, I’m sure Ahmed the taxi driver can make a decent living weaving baskets and…and…well, hmm… maybe he’d do better as a “Feed the Children” extra back in the motherland?

 I got nothin.
