Muslim Taxi Drivers In Minneapolis Discriminating?

Just watched Bill O’Reilly, he had a Muslim on defending the practice of some Muslim cabbies at the Minneapolis International Airport in not picking up incoming passengers carrying liquor or wine in the plastic see-through bags issued when you buy at the duty-free shops. Also refused are incoming passengers with dogs, even SEEING EYE DOGS. They have painted their cabs distinctively to warn people that they are upholding their Islamic beliefs in doing this.
Any comments from others on this? If a group formed an anti _____ (fill in the space) religion and incorporated it, would they be able to refuse service to _______(fill in the space)?

    That is not right and something need to be done about it, I bet you if other taxi car companies started to have signs saying that they weren’t going to pick up Muslims, Muslims would be in a outrage. They would start protesting, burning flags, and calling for the destruction of America just like they did when a Danish newspaper published cartoons depicting their prophet. Muslims really need to stop with the hypocrisy a lot of Muslim leaders think it is OK to push for Christians and Jews to be killed, but when people call for Muslims to be killed they start to say “Oh no how can someone say such a horrible thing, Islam is a religion of peace, now lets go blow up who ever said that” If the situation in Minneapolis isn’t dealt with immediately we may see more of the those signs popping up around the country on cabs and in a matter of time on buildings.

    That doesn’t sound like it should be allowed.
