Minneapolis: No Sharia Taxis--for now

The Minneapolis-St. Paul Metropolitan Commission sends word that it has not, and will not, become dhimmis to Muslims demanding that it enforce Sharia law. For now. You'll remember that Muslim cabbies had refused service to blind customers who had seeing eye dogs (dogs are considered unclean) and those carrying alcohol.

Reader Skip sent off an e-mail to the Commission when he first heard about it, but only received an answer from them today. I've reprinted below some of the e-mail written by Emberly Hermann of the Metro Airports Commission in his reply to Skip.

The bad news? They are working with the Muslim American Society, a front group for the radical Islamists of the Muslim Brotherhood. The good news? They've proposed increased fines for Muslim cabbies that refuse service:

For the past several months, the Metropolitan Airports Commission has worked with airport taxi industry representatives and with leaders from the Muslim American Society and the Somali Justice Advocacy League. The goal was to find a solution acceptable to everyone and transparent to the customer seeking airport taxi service. Unfortunately, those discussions have not resulted in a workable, voluntary, consensus-based solution.

As a result, the Airports Commission is proposing stricter penalties for refusal of service: a 30-day suspension of a driver's airport taxi license for the first instance, and license revocation for a second instance. [ed-emphasis mine]

Michelle Malkin has the details of the meeting in which the public will be invited by the Commission to comment on the proposed penalty increases. I'd suggest that if you're in the area that you go and speak your peace.

Because if you don't go, I can gaurantee you that the Muslim American Society will have their minions out in force. And if there's anything at all that we know about politicians, it is that they often back down in the face of a vocal opposition.

You can put the red ball back in your mouth now. I was merely stating how I would like to go and voice my opinion at this hearing in favor of raising the fine for these taxi drivers who think they can impose Sharia law on the rest of us, not kick anyones ass. You talk the talk tough guy...If you support Sharia law go be Ahmandinejad's personal fluffer you gimp and get the fuck out of our country.

How culturally insensitive of them.  Just the way I like it.

5 That is the perfect example of  the difference between people who happen to be muslim that come to America to be Americans and mouselims who come to America to be moozlims. 
 
It is also why the left hates President Bush, because he's not a politician, he's a leader. clinton, one was and one still is, a politician.
 
Let me go one step closer just  for you.... a politician is one who gets us into trouble that only a leader can show us the way out of.  The problem being that no one can make you take that way out, you have to want to get out, more than you want to be comfortable. Ironic that a meezslum tried to murder 2 Americans in Nashville a few days ago with a cab becuase he didn't  like what they had to say about his religion. Why is that waste of skin still breathing?

7 Increased Fines? How about they strap em to a gurney and administer an IV drip of  Mogen David while forcing them to watch re runs of the Anna Nicloe show.

Proud Minnesotan here - I fly back to MPLS/SP from NY at least twice a year and from now on I'm getting stocked up with booze taking a cab home instead renting a car. I find it hilarious that these stupid AH's have thier superiority complexes when it comes to a liquour and dogs, but otherwise they don't mind chauffeuring kaffir's around for a living.

10 Cab = car bomb. But don't worry if they are intolerant of the west.
                USA, all the way!

11 And yes, such a generalized accusation IS a bit of hypocrisy on my part. Maybe if car bombs didn't kill people, I'd be more willing to leave my idea as unsaid.                 USA, all the way!
