Were the antics of the six Flying Imams merely additional tactics in the Islamic overall strategy of installing Sharia law in the USA? It would appear so, according to some self-avowed moderate Muslims and the results of other recently exhibited actions by US Islamists and their followers. Let's take a look.
With regards to Minneapolis Airport's Muslim cab drivers, in 2006 the Muslim American Society of Minneapolis (MAS) issued a fatwa (religious edict) to the Minneapolis Airport Commission (MAC). The fatwa advised MAC that Islamic law prohibits Muslims from being around the sin of alcohol and Muslim cabbies refused to transport any passenger fares who had packed sealed alcoholic products in their luggage. Other Muslim taxi drivers at the airport also refused to transport passengers with dogs, including guide dogs. Muslims consider not only pork to be unclean but, dogs also. After a great deal of foot-dragging and stalling, MAC finally voted on the Muslim cabbies' demands, in April. With a unanimous 11-0 vote, Minneapolis Airport commissioners agreed to suspend airport taxi drivers who refuse fares. The first offense will carry a 30-day suspension and repeat offenses will result in 2-year taxi license revocations. Note: This is highly unusual, as lately all too many Muslim demands have been met with submission to them.
One of these recent submissions to Islam involves a Minneapolis Target store. Muslim Target checkers refuse to scan any pork products. Due to the recent Muslim cab driver flap, one can only assume this refusal-to-touch-or-scan also applies to any products containing alcohol. Instead of advising the Target Muslim checkers that scanning pork is part of their jobs, Target accommodated their demands. The retail giant has either transferred the Muslims to other duties or a non-Muslim employee is called to scan the items.

“Flyin’ Imams” ping.....
On or off this ping list, FRmail me.
All requests honored....
Regarding the flying imams, has anyone filed a class action counter suit yet?
“Regarding the flying imams, has anyone filed a class action counter suit yet?”
AFAIK, no.
‘“Regarding the flying imams, has anyone filed a class action counter suit yet?”
‘AFAIK, no.’
The difference between Moslems and non-Moslems. ;-)
The Target scanning thing is really a joke. How many products including non-edible products have pork ingredients? Cleaners, soaps, etc.
So then I guess that means they can’t be check-out clerks at all. Better than the rest of us, huh?
What about people who have allergies? Should they take a job at a perfume counter and demand to be transferred?
And as some informed Freepers have pointed out, this not being able to touch pork is a bunch of bunk.
“How many products including non-edible products have pork ingredients? Cleaners, soaps, etc.”
Excellent catch!!!
