Imposing Islam on the public square, the taxi edition. We have seen these attempts to impose sharia on taxi passengers in the US as far back as 2006.

A Muslim taxi driver has been sacked after refusing to let a family take an unopened bottle of wine into his car because it went against his religion.... cue the bomb threats.

MUSLIM CABBIE KICKS OUT FAMILY FOR CARRYING WINE Express.com (hat tip David W)

A MUSLIM taxi driver has been sacked after refusing to let a family take an unopened bottle of wine into his car because it went against his religion. Adrian Cartwright, 46, booked the cab to take his wife and young daughter on a five-minute journey to an Indian restaurant for an early evening meal.

But he was left fuming when the private hire driver booted them out of the taxi after he spotted they had an unopened bottle of white wine. Mr Cartwright later wrote about the incident in detail on Facebook – prompting the driver’s Asian-run taxi firm to sack him.

He said: “We all got inside the car and the driver said: ‘Is that alcohol?’ When I said ‘yes’ he replied: ‘I am sorry but I can’t allow it in my cab – it’s against my religion’.

“I knew it wasn’t worth arguing so we had to get out.”

He added: “The meal I had that evening was a Halal meal, whose methods I don’t agree with, but tolerate out of respect.

“I expect anyone offering a public service to do the same, and will be contacting the licensing department to suggest that the driver is politely asked to do so, or hand his badge back.”

Yea Mad mo did not want anyone to sit back with a nice glass of vino because once they relaxed and let go of all the forced down the throat doctrine, they would simply tell Mohamm to F off dweeb boy...

They love to say the ten commandments, and Jesus were lead ups to Mad mo, but there is no thou shalt not have a glass of wine in there, and Jesus declared, it’s not what goes in our mouths that defiles us.....uhhhh another baldface lie by Mad MO...Hey Islam, jump out of the madness for a moment, breathe deep and convert to Christianity and throw down the I am a thug, and fake goodness mentality..

Maybe all cabs should have a “moozlum driver” sticker so the potential fare can choose whether to finance such lunacy or ride with someone who isn’t a moozlum.

These people should not be using cell phones or chordite, either. Mohammed didn’t use them so they shouldn’t use them either.....

But a landlord who refuses to rent to homosexuals is punished.

Seeing the drivers described as “Asian” pinpoints it to Britain, where’s it’s politically incorrect to CALL a Muslim a Muslim if you’re not one. Cabbie was likely of Pakistani or Indian descent. . .

Beheading infidels = good.

Open container of wine = bad.

Give me a break from these clowns...Islam is a totalitarian political system, NOT a 'religion'.

Sorry, can’t do that, this is the internet. What’s here, is everyone’s business.

Fire him! I tell cab phone receptionists to NOT send a Muslim. If they do, I want take the taxi. They should never be hired if they can’t serve the public. Indeed, deport the bastard.

If I work at a pharmacy that sells contraceptives, and I refuse to go along with store policy, the store owner has every right to send me packing.

If this jackass cab driver owned the cab company, which he probably will one day if Obama gets his way, then he too would have every right (IMO—local ordinances might differ) to carry only the passengers he deems fit.

You own it, you run it. You work there, you’d better listen to the boss, within the law, of course.

I’d love to get in this bastard’s taxi eating a BLT.

By the way, do you know how muslim taxi drivers are like billiard balls? The harder you hit them, the more English you’ll get!
