"Officials at Minneapolis-St. Paul International airport are proposing stiffer penalties - including suspension of an airport taxi license - to Muslim cab drivers who refuse service to passengers toting alcohol or service dogs. "
"But Hassan Mohamud, imam at Al-Taqwa Mosque of St. Paul and director of the Islamic Law Institute at the Muslim American Society of Minnesota, one of the largest Islamic organizations in the state, said asking Muslims to transport alcohol "is a violation of their faith. Muslims do not consume, carry, sell or buy alcohol, and Islam also considers the saliva of dogs to be unclean," he said."

How about they find a different job then. Plus, I would prefer not to have a muslim cab driver, so it would all work out.
It is the Muslim "our way is the only way."
It is going to be interesting to see how far Minnesota liberals are willing to go to accommodate that.
